Donzi 43 ZR powerboat floated and fired-up at Penarth Marina

The Donzi 43 was lowered into the water by Penarth Quay Marina staff and prepared for service by Wigmore Wright
Her twin supercharged Mercury racing engines are installed in staggered formation powering twin NXT SSM racing outdrives.
Special additives were added to the tanks before the tanks were each filled with around 560 litres of gasoline. The boat has to be spun around to refuel the port-side tank..
Careful with the audio levels when owner Paul Smith calls"Fire in the hole" and starts the engines . The twin 700 SCi units are equipped with the Mercury Propulsion Control Module (PCM) 07 microprocessors. Each has a 3.3 Litre Lysholm screw-type supercharger, roller camshaft and sequential fuel injection . The engines deliver peak performance between 4800-5200 rpm and the boat is capable of speeds in excess of 100 mph.

@hpjunky70 Quickstor – Just for you I went back to the engineer who was filmed adding the chemicals before the gasoline (unleaded petrol) went into the tanks . He says he was adding Mercury "Quickstor" . This is stuff which is said to prevent regular and ethanol-blended fuel from breaking down and oxidizing, prevents fuel system corrosion and prevents gum and varnish from forming in the fuel and settling in fuel lines and tanks, carburetors and injectors.

What additive? Octaine? Zink? I'd run zink in those bad boys. Joe Gibbs high zinc racing oil.
