Clay,

It sounds like you need to check out my 27 Progression. It will run above 80 anytime with a bone stock 500hp. Check out www.liopa.com under boats for sale.

Easy Big Mike, Just a little friendly banter between Gordo and I;)

As far as a F-1/F-2 boats with light lay ups and no cabins the weight is often made up with the additional stringers/bulkheads etc etc and they all have to weigh a minium weight specified by APBA. Regardless of lay up.

You inspected my F-1 32' Sunsation in St.Clair MI:D

Question of the day: What made F1-29 "SPECIAL"?

A 5000 LB 29' V-bottom with a single 100% "stock" HP500 does NOT run 90+MPH

89.6MPH was the 2-way avg speed the first pass from what I remember was close to 91MPH

If some people were more honest there would be no need for CRE

No offense taken Mike, I just did't know if you knew that Gordo and I are friends :D

Hopefully someday somebody will grow some balls and let the cat outta the bag and tell the real story.

Clay -- The Velocity 280 is a good choice. Mine definitely has more cabin room than several of my friends boats of comparable size (Outlaw, Sunsation, Fountain).

Padraig -- Hold off on that 32 until you see what Stepp has in mind for the planned 35. Sounds like it will be worth the wait.

We know one thing about the new Velocity 35...it will be fast. ;)

Sell ya my 2000 28 Sunsation:D

if you have to make a desicion between progression and checkmate.which one would you like?

Clay, I have the perfect boat for you!!! It even has AC/heat

Well I don't know about the "best" ever... But I think the 28' stepped DDS bottom, Challenger Offshore is pretty good.

Wait for the 30' Outlwaw at the Miami show:)
