Donzi 26zx with 2inch shorty ??
Hi there,
i own a donzi 26zx 1999 model, i was thinking of a 2inch shorty lower unit, and was thinking of any views tests etc from you guys, the hp is around the 650hp mark, top end rpm is 5800 and i can hit this with a 26p b1 labbed prop with the stock lower and get 78mph on gps..... any guys have any experiences with shorties on this model ? what would my gains be with this new setup ? thanks |
The 99 is stepped right I beleave that was the first year. I have the 33zx and wanted to do the same thing eather with shortys or -2 boxes....I was told it would be a wast of money for me. I gess they r set up good from the start. That is what I was told..
|
yeah its got the same ztech twin step hull.......however x dimensions were set up differently on each model i was told
|
where is your propshaft now in relation to the bottom of the boat? does the prop blow out at all getting on plane?
|
In back to back test at over 90 MPH, the Imco lower was +2 MPH vs. the standard Bravo lower at the same prop shaft height. Straight vee...no steps.u

DonZ,
All boats will may respond differently. Our experience is there is speed in the Imco lower at the same prop shaft height as the Bravo I lower....even vs the Bravo XR lower. You have to test YOUR boat to know for sure. Ben |

i now Bill Patterson very well, i have spoken to him, i just wanted to see if anyone has tried a shorty, Bill is very knowledgeable on that boat as he went over all the hurdles i believe and most probably owned the fastest 26zx on the planet, thanks again for all the info guys, will let you know once i have tested one, this will probably be in March time just to let the weather get better, all the very best for the holiday season to you all DonZ |
I have the 26zx that zxxx had. Pls let us know if the shorty works, tks
