Yes sir! ill try to get a vid of it. its got the captains call exhaust so when you want it quite ideal for late nights you hit the button then its quite when you hit it to make it loud it comes out the rear outlets seen in pics.

DANG! im jealous haha, our boat only has a stinkin ford 5.0 with a Volvo-Penta outdrive (although a chevy 5.7 was an option on the SS like ours)

looks slick dude, nice Av too BTW, the boat kinda dwarfs it tho, now it needs a lift kit haha

[civicblack10]

lol yea, well pops gave me the avalanche to drive now so i was thinking about putting 24's on it. lol

[GearHeadV8]

lol that boat should race a xmod lol. and that vette is insane.and also you dont need to be rich to have nice things. no flaming intented just putting it out there. my parents have 2 corvette. any way where do u keep it.like on the trailer or at a dock

If it's a Mercruiser outdrive, my hypothesis is correct. Mercuiser made the blackhawk outdrives back in the 1990's and placed them in many manufactures boats; the Donzi even had them in their 22' Classic series for a long while. On a blackhawk drive, your props. spin in opposite directions. For yours, it looks like the prop. closest to the bow will spin clockwise, while the prop. closer to the stern will spin counter-clockwise.

What lake do you plan on placing this boat into? We're located on Secord Lake/Titabawasee River between Gladwin and West Branch, MI.

I agree with Texan. I would also like a sound clip as well as a run in your lake. If you have earmuffs and run it out of the water for a sound clip, that'd sound even better because there would be no reverberations from the water to mess with the deep-throated ness pouring from those thru-hull pipes..

[civicblack10]

lol, well were going to keep it on a lift at the end of my dock once we get one. Our old boat lift is too small now as we used to have a crownline 23' and this one is 27'

Here is a pic of the corvette with the boat in the backround with a piece of paper with my xms name on it lol.

[texan_idiot25]

Donzii, ear muffs? For the 454? That's like putting on welding goggles to stare at Megan Foxx.

What the hell is wrong with you?! jk

lol that boat should race a xmod lol. and that vette is insane.and also you dont need to be rich to have nice things.

These cars ONLY start in the mid 50k range.

LOL ear muffs as in ear muffs that fit around the outdrive and attach to a hose so the motor can get water when running out of the water.

Ear muffs allows you to run your motor on land. Since these motors are purely water cooled, they'll overheat in seconds without a water supply. You purchase a set of "earmuffs" so you can tune your engine on land; they're also used so you can winterize your motor without polluting the water with anti-freeze.

Running the motor without water will almost instantly freeze up your rubber water pump impeller. We had to replace ours on the Donzi just last year because it was starting to over heat in the water, very quick fix, but it's scary as hell..

[texan_idiot25]

Que?


Ear muffs?


Or you talking about the attachment that you hook a garden hose up to..? That I have seen before.

[GearHeadV8]

@texan i know they start in the 50k but that dont mean you need to be rich tho.

sorry donzi i didnt really see that part of the post i guess i was just skimming over it. We just bought it from a guy in st clair shores. i still dont really get what "Footprints" means. He said its something like god see's you and theres footprints on the beach or something, all i know is he was very religous

Awesome dude! Finally another Av owner on here haha. 24's would look pretty good on it, but ride quality wont be as good. for around town driving i wouldnt go bigger than 22's. 24's also kinda scream "steal me!"
