I know of a few Nordics 25 and 28's running over 100. They are very efficient hulls and light.

Default V-Bottom

I have a 98' 26 velocity and run low 90s with a 525 blower motor 7lbs of boost and love it , handles great with the bigger tab and hydraulic power steering made a huge difference, Velocity I would have to say is def. in the top 3 fastest V bottom boats.

That is impressive for sure, Velocity bottom's are patented for a reason!

I would have to agree 100%, I have raced against more Velocitys than ANY other brand that were actually VERY fast, several faster than my modified Baja and they do it with 80% as much hp as I have, Smitty

I have a 24 predator marine viper with dual hydrolic steering and imco extension box did 74 with a 468 bbc with 475 hp now I'm just about to find out what a 496 stocked bbc with 600 hp will do. It won't be 90 but in the 80's for sure ill now in the next couple weeks.

29 Outerlimits, sure, if you can afford one.
27, 30 Activator, probably the fastest otherwise, pretty affordable.
30 Superboat, affordable, not as fast but great in rough or flat water.
29 Warlock
29 Fountain
Kryptonite


Look at the boats that win the races. Who cares if you are crazy fast in a short flat water drag race.
