Brian has worked on my Donzi 22 Classic, including rigging the exhaust when I repowered. He has a very impressive shop and the biggest Snap-On tool box imaginable! http://www.orlandiperformance.com/

Many years ago a guy from Michigan showed up with a race boat that ran in the Production class rather than Open class. That means he could only run small blocks.
So he enters the boat at a Florida race and just blows off the entire field of Production boats.
The boat was a Mirage and he had some guy building engines for him out of Michigan. This was in the 70's and I can't remember the engine guys name, but it was something like....Roush. Haven't heard much more about him, wonder if he is still building engines? He used Windsor blocks.name of the boat was...... Little Rhino.
