    Gen VI 502 vs Gen IV 454 have differences

    Some of the accessory brackets might not bolt on directly; might need to alter slightly ie drill out a hole size.

    I would not recommend 3? exhaust on a 502 magnum; to get the 100hp increase you?ll...

    Hear guys have good luck with 5 blades

    With big power and short drive, I?d test couple 5 blades. Hydro P5X and Merc Max.
    BBlades does have a good formula for adding bow lift from a Bravo 1.
    If you can find a 27p Revolution 4, that?s a...
  4. Looks like a great boat

    Would be a fun project to finish. Wish you were closer to me.
    If you have an interest in selling that shorty out drive separately, I like to hear a price over pm.

    No time for Facebook

    I did create a Facebook account when I was looking for an 18? Donzi. I haven?t logged on in over a year. Had like 100 people for friend request; gosh sounds like a lot of work to keep up. I stick to...

    I like the headers

    Are you building a supper charged LS3 ?
    I?ve been reading about all of the nice EFI options out there. Might go back to EFI some day.

    I almost bought the Lightning headers for my 350 before...

    Blackhawk is Unique

    Really cool but but?
    For that money I?d much rather a Shelby?

    I wonder if the price tag is more than she sold for in 96 ?

    The Angle of the Tip thru Hull also an Issue

    That is a really good idea Phil. I had tried working backwards connecting the riser, short hose a tip first before trying to attach the riser to the manifold and it was not going to mate up missing...

    Added 2? hole through

    Happy New Year Chip!

    Have a look at pic 1. The unmodified muffler is in the tip. Basically there?s a plate that blocks at 3? diameter. The exhaust and water is diverted through a louvered baffle...

    Welcome and congratulations on your 22 Donzi

    I have been suggesting the Merc Revolution 4 prop for many years on many different old school V bottom boats. My experience with a switch from Mirage/Mirage plus props is quite remarkable.

    The new hull is going to run flatter

    I compare back to my Velocity and it had 4 full length strakes along with a pad bottom. The boat ran very level in the water. She was very efficient and did not require much positive trim to run...

    Pad 👍 Price👎

    Personal have owned a couple of V bottom boats with pads on the bottom and both were very good handling boats. Dare I say, far less handling issues than I?ve experienced with my Donzi classic round...

    Great news about the engine!

    Can wait to see some pictures 👍
  19. Couple of good looking yellow Donzis

    Personally I prefer the 22C with and the 18C without.
    Having the windshield on the 18C doesn?t block much wind but it can prevent waves from landing in your lap😳

    I had tried a more flexible hose

    I had tried a more flexible corrugated type hose. No way no how was the hose going to flex that much.
    Not only is the there about a 3/4? offset, the angle of the riser vs tips are probably 10 or so...

    Compound and wax

    I also went the route of compound and wax. If the gel coat has not become too porous it works to a degree. I find the deck strip needs to be waxed twice as often as the rest of the boat to have a...
