Re: Velocity 1500 lbs less then Fountain???
 

Haven't touched it since the first week in October but the last time out it ran really good! Been busy as heck and I just moved to Middletown so I guess we're neighbors now.

Just waiting for spring to come around!


How about you? Motors done?

An Apache and a Comanche in Middletown!!!!!!!!
That's as good as it gets!
I am going to run the power the boat came with and we shall see how that goes. If it gives me any trouble I will remove the entire drivetrain and start from scratch. In other words I will lose the 2006 season. But, on the other hand when I am finished, I will have a very dependable boat. We shall see.

Must be cousins, both sitting on trailers :eek: Sorry Panther, couldn't resist :evilb:

Speaking of years ago, what ever happened to Sked? His shop was the only place I got to see the red boat up close. Haven't seen him in probably 15 years. Think last heard he was building race cars.

Bring it on. Poker Runs, F1 Racing, & still going strong.

It's all good. :drink:

We'd love to talk about beaks and jewelry but Velocity doesn't have them. Heck, Steve isn't even doing bad dye jobs on his hair.

Panther and I have been going back and forth on Velocity / Apache for a long time. He is a friend and we'll continue to bash each other even when we're on the boats screaming back and forth or the boats are under wrap. I know it's not fair, you can't compare a Velocity to a slow, Bravo (Imco) Breaking, need to over power relic river bucket like an Apache :D :D

Best thing to do is lighten up, I think the OL guys bash Reggie much harder than Velocity guys do.

It's cool because the cat is out of the bag, I know your secret. You wish you got an antiquated resin bucket instead! :D :D

They're all just boats, we get different brands for our own reasons... :rolleyes:

Re: Velocity 1500 lbs less then Fountain???
 

I have to agree on the thin layup. Me and Bodyshots 32 Thoroughbred hull is practically transparent on the sides. The bottom of the hull is pretty solid though.

Re: Velocity 1500 lbs less then Fountain???
 

Yup I wanted to be just like you :eek:

Actually when I was looking at boats it was down to 2, the 36 Resin Bucket and the 41 Velocity. It was a coin toss but considering I can't afford to keep fixing drives nor afford the maintenace on bid power I opted for the velocity. But I still want to be just like you, you're like my river hero :evilb:
