I came across this new magazine last week on the newsstand. Premier issue. BOATING is the standout word on the masthead. Lots of fun articles on the boats and stuff we like to read about here. Articles in particular include:
- The 20 Coolest Boats of All Time. The usual suspects - Fountain, Formula, Magnum, Cigarette, and of course Donzi. Featured id the quintessential Classic 16. All the boat write-ups are fun.
- Live run tests on Eliminator 28 Daytona, Hallet 270 Cat, Warlock 29 World Clas, Ultra 23 SX, Cougar 20.5 Sport Skier, and featues on a Scarab 43 and Formula Sun Sport line.
- feature on changingout your instruments
- (my favorite) Mercury's new 6.2L and 8.1L motors, with all the specs and an explanation of what they replace and how they are different than the motors that preceeded them.
I know as the owner of a 2001 18 Classic with the new MX 6.2L (377 cubes, 320HP) with Bravo One Performance outdrive, that the new engines are POTENT!
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the new 496 Mag HO (8.1L, 425 hp) will be available in the 22 Classic as the top choice there, since it replaces the 502. For those who think they are going to miss the 502...I don't think so, unless all you want is braging rights for an engine over 500 cubes.
THe next issue of the magazine promises a more indepth study of the new motors.
Numerous excellent articles in addition to the above.

Question: Why did the chicken cross the road?
Answer: To prove to the armadillo it could be done.
Question: Why does the new magazine already have a website of its own?
Answer: To prove to the Donzi factory...
