Donzi 38zr comp top speed with 850sci ?

[DonZi 26]

what is the top speed of a 38comp with twin mercury racing 850sci ?

Just curious and could not find it on google....

[VetteLT193]

I wonder if there is one? I know they have built them with 1075's (low 130 MPH range).

I have also seen 700 sci's (the orange factory boat is a perfect example... I think it runs 110 MPH)

so split the difference? 120 or so

[roadtrip se]

There is a purple-ish 700NXT boat out there with the updated, four step hull running 113-114. There is an older, two step 700 Potter Perfromance boat with SCX drives running 119-120. I would put the 850 boat in the high teens.

What do they run with 525's? 80's? 90's?

I just cant imagine goin that fast on the water,,, that has to be thrill and a half

There is a high speed 35ZR that Eddie built. It ran around 120 or so. He is coming back for 4 litre whipple 950's. Eddie's last 950's made more like 1060.

He is taking it to Loto.

I'm not sure... When I went to the 28 ZX I started to realize why so many people end up going so fast. 65-70 is almost boring in the 28 where it's a blast in a 22. I imagine the 38 Comp being pretty boring at 90

is going to run 93-95, if it is a stagger.

Biggest thing with any performance boat, the faster you go, the faster the space gets eaten up in front of you. It happens in a hurry. And this is how accidents happen.

Coolest part about my time spent in a ZRC, is that you can toss it around. It feels just like a big Classic. Most offshores lose this in the stand-up/cabin/ and everything else transition.

from a speed/feeling/thrill/fun respect... 80 MPH in a 22 == ??? MPH in a ZRC?

Much as I love the ZRC, I don't think there is anything like going 80, or more, in a 22. Why do you think Phil Lipschutz has a tricked out 20 as his personal boat, when he could have just about any other Cigarette? Same reason, he loves the challenge of making a small performance boat really run. I can respect and undertand that...

Yep,

Looking forward to seeing 90 in a 22 myself. I think that it will be pretty dang cool.

I ran 103 in a 24 Skater, that was a good time. It was like riding on an air bed or a couch on a waterbed. Ive always wondered about the ZRC myself. They are giving out rides here in OK at grand lake in August, maybe Ill see if I can score a ride. If I can, Ill post my experience here.

I agree. I rode in a Sunsation Dominator and at 90+ it was still "boring" for lack of a better word. Don't get me wrong, it was fun, but not the same "thrill" as a smaller boat running 70+.

LOL, please let me be the first to admit that I am the loser who brings almost nothing to the table here. That said, I hope to catch a ride close to 90 in an 18 someday. I will say that 82 is a HELL of a rush. 90 must be amazing.
