Donzi 21 Hornet, repowered
Guessing some of you will enjoy these pics.
Apparently my old engine broke last year, i tought only the headers cracked. But it was more. Decided to switch it up a little bit :D Rerigged the boat myself, 2 full weekends and it was done, electrical, fuel lines, engine assembly etc, my wife was not happy with how much time i spent in the shop those 2 weekends, LOL. 496ho with whipple! Second run (still adjusting fuelpressure, getting to know the hull at these speeds etc) i have done 74.3 knots, that is 85.5 mph. After 70 knots, it starts to chinewalk badly, so I need some seat-time to get to know the hull, but MAN does it get up and go.. now its a real hotrod! The acceleration is mind-blowing! Bravo1 xr -2 sportmaster and a Bravo1 30P prop, for now. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...671668ae25.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...3cd77f3662.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...13a36981f7.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...4ffb3cf751.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...47ec7d9ea7.jpg |
Nice! Looks like a fun boat.

Looks great and all that in just two weekends is pretty impressive.

Fantastic!!!!!!!
I have a16 Donzi OB, but the 20/21's are really the right size....... |
Very nice, I am very familiar with the hornet, two good friends had them. I spent many hours on each of them back in the day, great boat. Yours looks fantastic, nicely done.
|
I love everything about this boat!!

I have a Donzi 1972 GT that I put a 496 HO in it with a Bravo. It run close to 70 MPH. How much HP do you think it makes more with the Whipple?

However. Its running pretty rich, so its gonna make a little less than that. But ballpark 180-200hp more :) |
