BTW, I worked for Tahiti Skiboats in the late 70's, we built big block jet boats all day long (most had Bassett water injected over transom headers) until the fuel crunch, then we switched to 4.3 Chevys with OMC or Volvo outdrives. Right now I'm glad my Donzi has the 4.3, she'll cruise in the 50s without sucking too much gas. Its getting warm here and I'll be de-winterizing "Flight Risk" soon.

Very nice little donzi! So you worked for Tahiti, the first pic on post #17 is my Tahiti! She is a great boat! I just completely rebuilt her 2 years ago(stripped right down do virgin fiberglass)

Thanks 502. Yeah, I dig your Tahiti ! Tha all-white with deck flames looks very cool too, much better than the typical metalflake we did on those !
