Currently have a 27' Fever. Would love a boat with twins and need to go 80. Can't fit more than a 29' boat in the slip. I've narrowed it down to a 29 Fever w/ Scorpions and the Formula w/ Scorpions. I can't find any Fevers with Scoprions for sale.. I guess they are that rare? Have found 3 Fastechs at various price points. Open to thoughts/recommendations, pros vs. cons, etc. Might be open to a Donzi 28 ZX with the Scorps...

Suprised you found three Fastechs, you do know that most 6.2s are not scorpions even though a lot of people call them that. The true scorpions are blue motors and very rare. I have only ever heard of one Donzi 28 with them.

Yes, well aware that the Scorpions I'm interested in are blue motors and totally different from the black 6.2s that are sometimes called Scorpions.

Back in May when I was looking I came across 2 or 3 Scorpion Donzis. It was a whole package with a few other upgrades that was offered by Donzi. As a percentage of boats sold, I would guess it was more common on the Donzis.

They seem much more popular in the DONZI 28ZX.

Here's one but not a 29 and a bit expensive,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, hey just tell them everyone here calls them a 28 footer!

Low hours and clean.... Really would love a 32', but they won't let me go that big in our dock....

A 32 is only the same size as a 28 LOL. my 32 is titled as 31. I think the fountain would be a faster boat.

Maybe that's why they are so hard to find? I've heard/seen people talk about 29's with twin Scorps. If they can push a 292 Fastech to 80 and a Donzi to 82, the Fountain should run 84 - 85 I would think.

Those engines while still on Mercurys website are discontinued.

A 292 with the 320hp 6.2s flirted with 70, I really doubt an extra 60hp is gonna see 80.
