I hear you but can't see it as a reason to not buy the boat. Does any disagree? It's not like at 2.5" the shafts are considered undersized by any...
I seatrialed the boat Friday and everything went well so I'm moving ahead with the purchase. The boat ran and handled well. Cruised at 24-25 knots...
According to the shaft calculator on boatdiesel.com even if they are 2.5" shafts they would still easily handle the 1150 hp of the 12v92's. And I...
Thanks Bamboo. No idea what brand of props are there. Survey says they are 28x37 NiBral. I'll measure the shaft diameter when I trial the boat on...

Wow, that's awesome. You likely just saved me a pile of money on an unneccsary additional heataing sysytem. Do you know how the system heats the...
I had planned to install a diesel fired hydronic heat system as I assumed the HVAC is a typical reverse cycle system. I know from past the reverse...
Yeah an 80' or even 70' is way too big for me, not to mention beyond my budget. To be honest, the 54' Donzi is bigger than I was looking. I do a...
Thanks all. Appreciate the input. Hope to be back on here in a few weeks as a Donzi owner.
Thanks. Yes, full surveys and oil analysis will be done. Was looking more for something specific with the Donzi if I needed to be on the look out...
Hi all, new here and this is my first topic. Forgive me if I don't post it correctly. I'm in currently in the process of buying a 1994 54'...
