What do you mean by handle? We ran 710's and 6's when our Red Donzi 38 was new. Stainless runs his 32 Skater and another 38 Donzi runs the setup as well. Ive never heard anything negative about the setup

I'd follow NASCAT and put Ilmor's Indy drive behind the 7-10's. Same manufacturer (no finger-pointing), less $$, and it will be faster with the lower parasitic drag.
On the other hand, if you've got a great deal cooking on a boat with sixes, and have another deal cooking on a pair of 7-10's, have at it!

Not to mention the Indy is much lighter...
