Gorgeous job......... He's posting 80 mph speed on Scream and Fly...

I raced a couple with twin 2.4's back in the 80's....... in offshore races (gasp!)......... and they ran in the low 80's back then..... 70's with a fuel load and "designated victim"....... I drove and throttled ...so some poor soul had to hang on and pray. I remember one started crying in a race in the lower bay of Manhattan....... Of course I immediately slowed down

...... NOT!

Another time a separate victim laughed the whole way through a race..... I thought he was fine until I realised he was still laughing hysterically..... an hour after the race ended.

He may still be laughing today........

Joey:

Here's a couple more things to increase your general boating knowledge.........


This is called a tunnel hull....early model. Only one guy drove it, throttled it and turned it......... engines rarely ripped off in turns...but they back flipped a lot....oh and by the way...... It will make a uturn and be gone while your Donzi is approaching the entrance buoy....and it has...no steps.

This is a later model...... It will do all of the above.... but a lot faster........ and not tend to back flip as much.
