    Congratulations!

    You are now quickly becoming THE leader for the Donzi 22 classic.

    I am aware of only one faster one at this point, running an Ilmor V10 at 103.4.

    Very nicely done video too. Thank you for sharing the link.

    Great video and beautiful scenery.

    I was fortunate enough to be in Sandhamn several years ago - spectacular!

    Well done and more proof that these hulls can be run safely at these speeds with an experienced driver and proper set-up.

    Very nice. I was thinking the dimensions on the boat looked off like the sides were taller now I know why nice modifications it must feel more secure sitting lower in the boat. Especially at 100 mph

    Nice work
    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,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    Bjorn,
    You have done some wonderful work to get a 22 to that speed realm. Great video, too. You are obviously very mechanically inclined - Bill

    Like I have always maintained, you really do not need tabs in these boats at speed. Nice and steady with the little bennetts.

    Look forward to the results with the extra ear


    Did you change the combustion chamber or the pistons to drop to the CR
    machinist ,bore it deeper,ream it bigger, and lap it to a fine finish

    Thank you for those kind words. I have that 103.4 GPS picture in a golden frame over my bed since long. I have great respect for Ted and his Ilmor boat . 103.4 is un impressive speed.

    Thank´s Bill . Put it this way. I was the guy who fell asleep reading "How to hotrod big block chevys" at 18 and since then it´s been quite a few Stingrays, Panteras and so forth with the famous BBC Detroit casting.

    Does anyone know if the inner strake lengths differ between years?
    How about the Black Hawk?
