28ZX Scorpion Ride

[RedDog]

Caught a ride last evening in a 28ZX w/twin Scorpions - I still can't quit smiling.

Everyone should have one or two of these :)

Is that 120mph speedo factory standard? Don't know about you, but it seems a bit overkill to me. I'd be good with an 80mph or maybe a 100mph unit.

The in dash speedo is a GPS unit.

Props - I believe are 25 Mirage, labbed, 3 blade. I saw it up to around 5200 - 5300 RPM, 77.5 on my eTrex GPS. Any recommendations?

This boat is incredibly smooth, fast accelation, and nimble on fast turns.

You can sip a boat soda over 60 and stay dry (unlike my open 18).

How did the twin Scorpions sound??? At Idle? W.O.T.?

VERY VERY nice.
Many Twin engine boats have a Sync gauge, never saw one on a Donzi, are they a waste of time? Gauge space etc?
I thought it was easier to look at one gauge vice two tach's.

Great boat, Ive got a 28ZX with plane old 5.7 EFI's. It is my first boat and when I bought it this spring thought 70mph was fast enough. Wishing now that I would have bought the scopions.
