280 Velocity
 

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT A GOOD ASKING PRICE WOULD BE FOR A 280 VELOCITY WOULD BE.IT HAS A 600 PLUS HP INNOVATION ENGINE AND RUNS 90 PLUS MPH AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND SITTING ON A ALUMINUM TRAILOR.JUST CURIOUS THINKING ABOUT SELLING AND GOING BACK TO A CAT. ::D

Year? Hours? Trailer Manufacturer and Year? Pics? 90+ on GPS?

PM MIKES 280 ON HERE AND ASK HIM HE'S GOOD AT PRICING

280 VELOCITY
 

THE HULL IS A 1996,THE POWER WAS NEW IN 2002,IT IS 515 CUBIC INCH,MERLIN HEADS,DART INTAKE,1050 DOMINATOR CARB
IT HAS 4&ONE HALF INCH DRY CMI BIG TUBE HEADERS AND PIPES
IT ALSO HAS POWER ASSISTED HYDRYALIC MARINE MACHINE STEERING AND SITTING ON AN ALL ALUMINUM I BEAM TRAILOR WITH TORSION AXLES AND BRAKES,THE TRAILOR IS A 2001.THIS BOAT IS IMMACULATE INSIDE AND OUT.THE REASON FOR THINKING OF SELLING IS TO GO TO A 39FT VELOCITY.THE BOAT IS WHITE WITH PURPLE AND TEAL GRAPHICS AND ALL OF THE OPTIONS THAT WERE AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.

90+ MPH with only 600 horses seems very optimistic.

There is someone on this board that has a 26 w/2 V-8 Johnson's that runs over 100MPH, you know who you are!!!!:p

600 HP = 90MPH possible I guess. I'm no expert but velocity's seem to run fast. Good looking boats also.

How much? Can we see?;)

Thats Bob Powells boat and I dont know if he is on the board or not. I have run with that boat before and its a very nice boat. It was for sale but i cant remember how much he wanted but it was a good price.

FOR YOU GUYS THAT THINK THAT 90 MPH IN A 280 OR A 260 VELOCITY WITH 600 HP OBVIOUSLY HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A VELOCITY,FOR A SPORT AND OR A PLEASURE BOAT IT IS KNOWN
FOR BEING A VERY FAST HULL WITH ITS PAD BOTTOM.BOBBY
POWELS 26 WITH THE V8 OUTBOARDS WILL RUN 100 MPH. :fish:

1hper1:

What prop(type, inches & labbed?) do you run and at what RPM? I think 600HP will get you over 80gps but less than 90gps. My speedo indicates 95mph when the gps says 85mph. Regardless of the exact number ... anything over 80mph in a 26' hull will be fast enough for MOST mortals.

Back to your original question ... My 280 is also for sale and was in the classifieds here until recently for $64,900 for a 2000 with a Whippled 502 without a trailer. I wil be putting it back in the classied section shortly for $60ish with a little haggle room if that helps you.

Good luck

Bob and Mike, Bob is on the board, more of a lurker. Nice boat, lets say meticulous, great guy. Boat flat out flys!!!
