Chick boat.

Cal...My chick likes to go fast. Two years ago, she wanted a pontoon boat. Bought one. She hated it. I sold that motorized raft and bought the Chris Craft 25. Too big. This ought to do the trick and for what I paid, I can't possibly lose money.

Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now get that V-12 into the Chris Craft Riv and go even faster and look way cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice! I like the size and for sure love the style. Suitable for many different sized bodies of water. Do they make sunglasses to match that cool windshield?

Can never go wrong with a Donzi! NICE!

I searched Torque Shift Prop on eBay. I wonder if it would work well on your boat. I think this one is the 11 - 26 pitch range. I run the other model which starts at 14 pitch and can swing out to 32 pitch. Hole shot on mine is amazing and then can up ship variably so that I can get good speed and cruise at much lower rpm. I saved just over $300 in gas in one summer over my 21 pitch ski prop because it was like having both a small ski prop and a big speed prop. Shifts smoothly and variably... not like the Merc 2 speed prop, though I did just look up a boat like yours with that Merc 2 speed on it. It was designed for boats that can benefit from smaller pitched power props, yet have enough motor and speed to over rev the small fixed prop. I think there are still old torque shift videos comparing 2 identical inboardoutboards that show the quicker hole shot. Fun prop that I have run over a decade.

Hope this old video works.

Video of old Merc shifting prop for comparison.

I learn something every day! I had never heard of a torque shifting propeller. However, that hole shot would send my wife into an asylum. Also, we don't ski or race so a hole shot is pretty much a moot point. I do plan to tweek the engine a little and bolt on some of my retro accessories to make things a little prettier. Down here in SC, there's still plenty of boating left for at least two more months.

That makes sense not throwing passengers around... especially your number 1. I am sure the 7.4 liter is no slouch. After a few videos, I saw how that exhaust exits which was pretty cool. Really like that boat. Happy boating!

There's a cool Donzi owners site that has links to owners manuals, pictures, etc.

A quick hole shot isn't really needed when you can wipe anyone out a minute later on top end.
Be careful, you will spill your beer.

Very nice boat!!!!!

I gave her a name that was age-appropriate:

Good name. Be careful, it will tend to steer port all the time.

I really like the lines on this boat; that along with the color combo gives her a really neat and clean look. This is the type of boat that has staying power, holding value and continued desirability. A smart choice!
