Patty, send me those pictures when you get some time. There are a few in there that should be a real hoot! And hey, what the heck was the name of that liquor you brought over to the house?

Since I sold my Donzi I haven't frequented the boards here very much, but I need to extend a big "THANK YOU" to board member and fellow hot boat fanatic Jamie Root.
Jamie happened to be in town on...
Being the curious sort, I went back down to the marina this morning to look this boat over again. She is, indeed, running a 23"p Mirage Plus prop, and is powered by the standard 496.
The boat...
Yes, I realize that the prop itself wouldn't cause a warning horn to go off. ;) However, if the prop was too small for the powerplant it would allow the engine to over rev and bang against the rev...
I had an interesting evening down at our local marina here in Cedarville, MI. They just received shipment on a beautiful new 40th Anniversary Edition of the 22' Classic, which is supposed to be hull...
Thanks for the info, guys. As always, the Donzi boards come thru with some useful information!
One other quick question: Does the water pouring out of the exhaust have any type of scavenging...
I've followed a lot of conversations on these board in regards to marine exhaust manifolds. I've also read Dennis Moore's book, and I understand that it is desirable to isolate the individual...
Darn it, Jamie! I think I've got my mind all made up, and then you have to throw that roller cam option at me. As tempting as that sounds, I think I'll stick with the regular hydraulic cam for the...
Thanks for the info! The 262 is getting ordered on Friday.
Jamie, you'd think I'd know by now to just contact you directly on any SBC questions I might have. There doesn't seem to be much you...
I've been doing a ton of research for my 350 Magnum rebuild project, and I'm down to picking out a new cam. I'm 90% convinced I want to go with a Comp Cams Extreme Marine cam, but I don't know which...
How can I order the manifolds? Is there a website or phone number available? Thanks, Chris
I know a few of you guys have purchased the new GLM SBC exhaust manifolds, and I was wondering if you'd had the chance to run them yet?
Rootsy, did you every get to the Dyno and do your exhaust...
Jamie, I've give A LOT of thought to pushing her out to 383. Problem is, I'm terrified that the extra 33" might be the final nail in the coffin on the Alpha One. I'm take it easy getting on plane...
Thanks for all of the info. Jamie, I should have emailed you direct, you seem to be the resident sbc guru here!
My whole intent on this re-build is to take my 1990 350 Mag from 270 hp to around...
Which would be better for marine use? I'm rebuilding my SBC, installing Vortec heads, and I'd like to keep the Quadrajet carb. Unfortunately, the only manifold that is available for this combo is...
Jamie, can the GLM manifolds be used with stock Mercruiser risers and elbows, or do they make aluminum risers and elbows specifically for those manifolds?
Also, let me know when you plan on...
In regards to safety, any boat can be either safe or unsafe, depending upon the operator. I think the better question might be the practicality of a Donzi for use with young children.
I used to...
Hey Jamie! Thanks for the quick reply. The snow is melting up here, and the bay is starting to open up, so obviously my thoughts are turning to boating again.
My 350 Mag is a 1990 model, which I...
What would the cam specs need to be on that comp cam, in order for a 350 Mag to put out 350+ h.p. with the Vortecs and an Edelbrock Performer intake? That sounds like it would be an awesome, cost...
Thanks for all of the good information. GEOO, I take it the smiley's mean you really enjoy thrashing everyone at your local radar runs? eek!
Oldred, we are planning on trying to use our radar...
My friends and I are giving serious consideration to trying to organize a radar run for boats for next summer. Has anybody on here participated in an organized radar run for boats? I was elected to...
Our boating season is pretty short up here, considering there is ice on the Bay from late November until late March. So, we have to hit it pretty hard in the summer time! I average about 75 hours a...
Thanks for all of the great info! I've tried the vinegar trick, as well as the bathroom cleaners designed to remove lime deposits. Both work fairly well, but I wanted to hear if anybody had...
What has everybody found to be the best cleaner/polish for s.s. exhaust tips? I've got a set of Hardin slash cut tips on my boat, and, without fail, every time I use the boat the tips end up water...
I've got the VDO blue line gauges in my "brand C" boat, and the trim gauge won't budge off of the "full up" postion. I"ve messed with the sender switch on the side of the outdrive, with no results...
