Your boat is heavy no doubt and depending on what power I'm sure it would eat up some fuel,we don't really get to run wide open very often.How fast is that boat?

My boat is only 8000 lbs plus gear and fuel but I do have 2 540's pushing 800 hp each so it will run up over 100 mph if you can afford to run it that fast but I am also scared to break something so most of the time I just cruise with it.

Yea that is what I like about the Velocity's and the fact they are a pad bottom boat makes them fast. The motors are naturally aspirated but were built with the best of the best in them.

The boats a lot of fun!

No not really because I will run out of fuel and have to wait for the rescue boat to bring me fuel! Lol!

How fast does your boat go?

Oh hell 71 is fast enough for just being out playing around as rarely do I go faster then that when it's just me and my girl out there.

Hopefully I will see you out there this summer or we will have to meet up somewhere and go for a ride.

Hey you being from Stoney Creek have you ever launched your boat at Bay Front Park ramp? Just wondering how long that ramp was.
