Donzi 22'and Blackhawk out drive
Does anyone have a history on this drive with a 502 in front. I plan to run it on a small inland lake, and has anyone put a swim platform on one of these?
Thanks
Thanks

I have two of them matched to 502's on my boat. I have been happy with them to date. Although it takes a little getting used to learning to navigate in the marina because of the fast idle speeds.

I had a 22 with a 502 / bravo - ran real well. I heard the blackhawks had a different hull - They were real fast for the power - low 80's. Should hold up to the power - not sure about the hull - will be a dirvers boat that is for sure.

I've heard repeatedly, that they are "a drivers boat". Many people actually have to drag some tab to get them stable. I guess that would be the easy way out. Great looking boat though. Do check out the Donzi sites. There are a couple with several boats like yours.

They were easy to drive, like all sterndrives.
