Thanks for the great suggestions and comments guys ! I had some issues with the carb at the end of last season and believe that the stock Rochester Q jet probably needs rebuilding. I think I'll rebuild the carb and run it a few times to get a proper "baseline" for how it runs with the 350 mag. Then I'll probably put the 383 stroker in and store the 350 . Over the winter I also ordered new cockpit carpeting , some hatch struts and a full upgraded stereo system. But the sound the engine makes...has been the best sound of all ! It's amazing to me how many 20- 30 year old guys give me the "thumbs up" when they see the Donzi ! I guess they think it's pretty cool for a 63 year old, "grey hair" !!
Can't wait to get it out of winter storage so I can polish it up and get it out on the lake....
Here is some picks of Wazzi and Chachi boat.

Of course that's what you were doing. And why I thought it was so funny to post a comment suggesting your boat was running that way from over trimming. Especially because you know what you are doing, and would never run like that.Originally Posted by zelatore

Exactly! It was funny.

When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
When the waves are high and the light is dying,
well raise a glass and think of me...
When I'm home again,
