I am new to the forum and new to being a Donzi owner. I have recently acquired a 1968 16 Ski Sporter. My Grandfather bought this boat new, and it has been in the family since. In 1989, the original 302 Holman Moody blew up, and my uncle put the boat up in his warehouse with the intentions of repowering it. Fast Forward 22 years, and I have convinced him to let me have the boat to repower.
I guess what my question is, what would yall suggest to power this boat with? I would like to hopefully reach mid 60's but do not want to break the bank in doing so. If this is a far fetched number, what would be more realistic?
What are yall running in your 16's and what kind of numbers are you getting out of them? Performance/Fuel Consumption.
Thanks for your help,
Joseph
