Re: Velocity VR1 Sets F-1 Record...Again!
OK Boys...Was able to get a few runs in this evening. Picked up a good 4 mph so far in dead calm. Ran with my labbed 28 pitch Bravo 1 and bounced off 5150 a few times. Will be running a labbed 30 Bravo 1 tomorrow, but it may be a bit much. With some prop work, i think I can eeek 5-6 mph. Mid range to high end was the best. If you run without mufflers, it will be LOUD.

Yes they are for sale, the 26 has a small crack in one of the blades that i've been told can be fixed but the blades are extremely thin. As for the power in my 280 it was a 502 MPI bored .030 w/ a lot of goodies , never dyno'd but my top end went up 600 rpm with the original 26 QIV. Jeff at hydromotive said I added at least 200 hp to gain that much so it was at least a solid 600. The 27's were on my 390 when I bought it and all I can say is that they are top end only, they weren't very good all around performance but one may work well on a single engine app. I'm switching to bigger propshafts this winter so I wont be using them .

i was just offering some props for you to try or buy. Why are you questioning the performance of my previous boat. My 26 went 78.6 on GPS in factory trim in 1996 when some of you couldn't spell GPS. If you need verification on her performance after the modifications there are a lot of guys on the Chesapeake w/ Velocities who can back me up and one in Sanford Florida, Initials S.S.
