Vicious22

For an out board 22......

The 22 likes a chopper prop for top end. HP to Pitch Ratios= 250hp 22"-24" 3 blade
300hp 24"-26" 3 blade
350hp 26"-28" 3 blade
400hp 28" mazco RE 4 (4 blade)

The 22 in post #2 spun the mazco re 4 8000 rpm with the prop shaft about an 1/2" below the pad.

hence the name Vicious. The chopper suffers a little at the low end.

I also ran a omc raker 28" it was a great all a round prop.

if you post your specs I'm sure the VOG guys can point you in the right direction

I was just looking online and was reading about Steve Steep. I read that there was no 22 mabe by Steve the smallest was a 26 called the summer squall which i have. How is this possable on a 22?

Sick, Steve designed and built a 22 probably before he even thought about building a 26!! They were also made by Regal. He is still building them now.

I don't he ever made a 22 under the Thoroughbred name, which might be where the confusion is. But prior to Thoroughbred (and also after), Steve and Regal built the 22 under the Velocity name.

Hmmm.....I have a 22ft Thoroughbred Velocity.1993.

Crazy, this thread is over 5 yrs old....I just bought this boat last night...I cant believe its the same boat. It now has a 94 2.5 245hp and has been repainted, its a little rough, but I think I can bring it back. Any other info on this boat? The guy said it was originally shipped to the bahamas and had twins on it...I dont know. It has a 24p tempest 3 blade prop on it now and runs about 70. Would love to hear more! Thanks guys, Jamie

Did you talk with Tom? He had it previously, before it went to the Bahamas, and he had done all of the re-rigging and paint work that you see in the first page pics. Had a 250XS on it. (single) Ashame to hear it's in rough shape. The boat was perfect when Tom sold it.

Congrats on the boat I had an 87 22' Velocity w/ a big block back in the early 90's

Hey Z- thanks, yes, I did speak with Tom about it....crazy history!!! I will be working on it for a few weeks before I drop it in...I just cant believe that it is the same boat. It needs some tlc, the paint job they put on there is sort of odd....he kept saying it was gel coated and not painted. You can see pics on craigslist (miami). I will keep updating as I go through it, hopefully I will learn how to post a pic!!!

Spicey- thanks, it will be cool. I got out of the speedboat scene about 7 yrs ago....I had a 28 bertram baron knock off with twin 454/500hp that was absolutely mint that I sold to get back into fishing. I almost want to bring it back as some sort of c or s class resto/retro look from when they used to run them in the 80s. Just cant find too many pics of the 22 in race attire!!

A boat living in the Bahamas gets beat up pretty bad. A friend of mine kept his boat in grand, with the locals "taking care of it". Not pretty.
