Looking for one thats been kept inside. Preferrably fresh water boat. 1999 or newer, Most Florida boats are sun and salt damaged.

Just so you know: I sold a 96 donzi zx 28 to a friend of mine. Installed a 502-500 HP and was running 59 mph on GPS. Not that fast but so good in big waves!

From what I've read hear on OSO. A 26 should run mid 60's with a 502mpi. Going to have to bump up the HP!

My friend contacted Donzi to make sure he was running the right speed for the amount of HP he had. They confirmed 500 hp was 60 mph. They also said this sport cruiser boat can handle up to 600 hp no problem but above 600 you can get transom problem such as delaminating and other stuff that would have to be fixed yearly.

just curious, im definately no expert....
how does HP create a delaminating issue?
jeff32, im not doubting what you say, just trying to understand better.

Not too sure either but that is what my friend got told by Donzi. Probably because it creates too much stress on the transom when hammering down from standing still... I certainly wont tear apart but maybe move a little bit or crack. Not sure. Anybody has a better idea on that ?
