Goodbye, my pal. You have a lot of friends who miss your comments. And at least one Donzi "expert" who won't 😁. Godspeed and know you will be able to drive your Donzi 100 mph 24/7 forever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ED. 🎂

Very sad. Condolences to the family. Thank you for posting.

Hello Karl and welcome to the board. Lest I forget, photographs are required as soon as you get your Donzi 😁.
As for driving your boat? Two words. Seat time and more seat time. Enjoy your...
Heresy!!! How can you improve on the beauty below? Of course, I’m somewhat prejudiced 😁. BTW, riding in a Donzi 22 with a standard windscreen, I still had to take my cap off. PS: check out my...
Or be that nutz to go that fast in a 16 😁. Do you remember where he made that run?

I may be off a bit, but recall Ed did 100+ GPS MPH in a 16 using Gale-Banks twin turbos on a 302(?) Ford.

I mounted a spring clip to the panel next to my leg and mounted one of these 😁

Thanks Barry. I haven’t heard back from him to my emails for awhile. We miss you Ed.

I use my tabs to get back in. Or, a collapsible ladder that slips into a fixture on the transom is more useable and a clean install. You might want to ask Dave Hartmann as when I got a shop tour he...
Yep, my security settings on the iPad and iPhone are set properly . When I wake up Windows Vista on the pc, I get the warning.
I’m no expert, but this must be an IE problem as I’m exclusively on Apple devices and I never got any warnings.

gorgar, I picked up on this statement you made: " ...the boat was uncontrollable at 45 mph and above...". It sounds like you were experiencing chine walk....and tried to accelerate thru it. Please,...
I agree, and $35 is cheap insurance. Plus, its so much easier to replace than when I had an Alpha drive.

Do you guys just change the impeller yearly or when it looks rough? How about changing the housing, the cage, and the gaskets?

Is anyone planning to attend the PRA Run launching from Kingston on August 19th?

So hopefully the OP is still hanging on to our suggestions as we get into personal preferences :nilly:. With regard to trim and tab settings, I think we can agree that some of us use the indicators...
Its also the way for the wife to announce that she will never, ever go out in your Donzi again ☹️☹️.
John C
BTW, what brand, model, and pitch do you have?
FYI, my '92 Sweet 16 came with a 23" Viper. Best was ~53 mph @ I think around 4400 rpm. However, the chine walk was awful. I replaced it with a...
Generally, proposing can be minimized or eliminated by use to the trim and/or tabs. Severe proposing (that you can't eliminate) could be water conditions (maybe), hull design (nope), too much weight...
Yep, too fast and too tight and you can roll the gunn'l into the drink. Remember: seat time is your friend :). And don't forget to lower the drive as you start the turn to keep the prop blades in...
A prop is like a machine screw. In a solid substance a 21" pitch prop would advance 21" per revolution. However, water is not a solid substance and propulsion comes from the difference in pressure...
Here is what I did when I got my Sweet 16. I went out on a lake during the week (fewer jet skis to annoy you 😈). Tabs all the way up. Pick a comfortable cruising rpm. Run the drive slowly up and...
B.O.A.T. I'm sure you know the long version!!!!
