This boat did the 2002 Velocity Rally from the Bay Bridge to Solomons. It's the nicest Velocity I have seen. I would buy it if I had the $$$$$.

The 390 rides very well in rough water.
Ours has new 496 HO's with the X drives and it will run 77-78 on GPS. 29p Hydros have given a best of 79.8

The 39 will ride great in rough water provided you setup the boat correctly and trim it correctly. I have my 41 setup (CG, props, drive height) where it will run neutral trim in just about anything from small chop to 5' - 6'. With neutral trim the boat flies level and mashes though anything. Very very comfortable.

Re: Velocity 390 - What do you think
I have been running 390 velocitys for 5 years . A 1999 that weighed almost 10000 pounds. With 30 hydroes by hulls and 500efis it ran 86 in allmost any water. 88mph now and then. Then I did a 390 full stg. 500s that had some work done and it ran 90. It was the best rough water boat I ever ran in that size range. If you have any douts call poker runs america and ask Todd T. he was on the 1999 390 a few times. I herd threw the grape vine my 2005 stager 390 is for sale in nc.
