Donzi Z25?

Anyone know anything about the above? So far i know they're not that fast and need 500hp+ to break 70. The fuel tank needs replacing if they haven't already been. Standard engine/drive (ford/cobra) is crap, but it's easy enough to bung a 502 & bravo in there.

There's one over here which sank briefly i may look into...

Cheers, James

I wish it were that simple! Just considering all the options. I ploughed massive amounts of time and a fair amount of money into the cat for nothing, i can't risk doing that again.
The revenger is still very much a possibility, but if there's a better option out there i may be better off changing hulls.
No harm in checking every route before taking the plunge!

If it's a King Cobra drive then it's better than a Bravo from what I understand.

Go for it...2 boats are just not enough for a Guern
