Buyer collects. Located LL53 5YT COMPREHENSIVE DETAILS:2000/2001 Donzi 26zx twin step. Boat is a headturner and gets a lot of nice comments wherever I have had her. Cowes Poole Cowes competitor in 2009.
Its a quick yet safe boat with great handling. Everything has been done correctly to handle her more than average power level from fully braced engine mounts to full external hydraulic steering and big tabs to keep the handling in check. Incredible sound, you are heard across the water long before you are seen. Full specs: New 600hp engine installed mid 2019, parts imported to UK and built by West Coast Marine, 540cui/8.8l Raylar fuel injected. Whipple flashed custom ECU.
PSI block. Forged everything. Raylar coolgap intake manifold and accufab throttle body. Raylar BP aluminium heads. Raylar 600hp+ cam.
New high flow oil pump. Closed cooled and new closed cooling circ pump. Large oil and power steering cooler. Hardin marine stainless raw water pump (you still change the cheap impellers but not the expensive housings!), spare impeller and wear plate kit for the stainless pump. EMI E-top exhaust manifolds (tested before engine build), added O2 bungs on each for setup, tails out of transom to Hardin marine stainless flappers.
New injectors. New ignition coils. New starter motor. Fuelab digital fuel system, brushless variable speed fuel pump, sensored digital return to tank regulator. Large hardin sea strainer, fed from both drive and transom pickup so plenty of water flow for this large engine.
Blow off valve to dump excess water pressure overboard. 10 break in hours then checks and fluid changes and around 10 hours more general use. Found to be surprisingly good on fuel considering its size and tune. Bravo XR drive recently serviced with new driveshaft (had some seal wear) and UJ, gears looking perfect and oil changed every season as a preventative measure, always found to be clean with clear magnets. Hardin marine large top plate drive shower to cool gear case.
WPM full hydraulic steering, helm to external twin rams, everything is solid with no play. Power steering from engine. Hardin 18" large trim tabs. All hoses have just been replaced. Mechanical drive and tab indicator cables all replaced before this season and set up.
Gafrig gauges all work apart from fuel pressure as no sender on this current setup. Autometer GPS speedo (the good one) as Gafrig speedo didn't work when I bought the boat, stores max speed and shows other data. Mechanical trim gauge for drive and tabs. Separate gear and throttle levers. Driver and navigator kill cords as required by UIM race rules.
Hull in great condition for age, some small scuffs. Polishes up very nicely. Never antifouled. Trailer boat with the odd few days on the marina. Windscreen great condition and no cracks.
Cabin great condition. Great layout and size for this size boat. Cabin carpet good. Added Bluetooth head unit in there. Small chemical toilet that I've never used while I've owned Pop up mooring cleats all around and special mushroom and pin cleats for attaching fenders.
Keeps everything neat and flush while at sea. New full fitted boat cover at the start of this season from Brookes. Plenty of straps for security, covers entire top of boat and down past rub rail. Purple tonneau cover fine for dry overnight use in marina. Twin axle Venture american style trailer.
Bunked with PTFE slide strips so easy to get boat on trailer and no damp carpet touching hull. Long draw bar so no wet wheels on tow vehicle, tows very nicely for size. This has been converted with custom made shorter axles and new hitch and is now UK spec and road legal. Including documentation proving this. Currently as used for launching for several years brakes are removed but trailer could be fully serviced and made road ready easily.
Includes front launching wheel (one place I used the boat had a very shallow slipway and the owner didn't like his tractor getting wet so trailer can be backed in with towing extension or slings using this wheel). Included. 2x pops which work for the boat, Bravo 4 blade p28. Bravo 4 blade p30 (had work). I have all new purple Hardin marine gauge bezels imported as the dash was my next project. Spare impeller and wear plate kit for the hardin raw water pump.
Fender pins for rear fenders. One set of Donzi branded docklines following colour theme of boat, 2x yellow, 2x purple, nice touch in the marina. Garmin 527xs and 721 networked plotters with depth sounder. I have paperwork for everything purchased and all work done while I have owned the boat and trailer. Build pics for engine.
Have brought the boat up to a much higher standard than when purchased. £46,950. May take PX for large trailer suitable for a 40ft boat.
