I beg to differ on the 65 MPH comment.. Heck, the 18's are faster than that from the factory these days...

Go for it...I "HAD" two friends that died in two separate older 18' Donzi's that barrel-rolled & one friend that broke his back & his life was/is severely limited due to a simular 18' Donzi accident. The hull bottom design was never originally intended to go the speeds that people ask of them today. Ed

Sorry to hear about your friends, been there, got the scars.. However, with today's steering,drives and props, the boats are a heck of a lot more stable then back in the yesteryears... Still a drivers boat, but very controllable once you are familiar with it.

scott, you run soap through your engine when you flush it?

Is that the salt away stuff?

I run a combination of one-half Salt-away and one-half Turtle Wax carwash soap. Works like like a champ. When I had the heads off my Donzi's motor, everything was very clean. Even the aluminum exhaust manifolds looked new...

Gino,
Call Ocean Performance at 860-388-6000. They may have what you are looking for in a Donzi.

I run soap through my boats too.

I buy the biggest bottle o dish soap I can find @ Costco/BJ's/Kmart. I fill the bottle on a Miracle Grow feeder about 1/2 way, then take the sprayer nozzle off and connect a short hose to the flush attachment. I just yanked the manifold off of it after 5 years in salt, and while it isnt perfect, it looks damn good.. And, the boat has that citrus clean smell to it when I'm done..
