I am building up a strong single engine. It will not be hideous but should thump between 750 and 800 hp. I looking for a fast single engine hull to utilize this engine. What type of results could be expected from a 28 -29 Velocity? I would think it has been done.

Your going to be lookign at High 80's with tht H.P. I was running a 675 blown 509 and did 82. I blew that up and now just dropped in a 572 Blown with a 10-71 intercooled. MikeS280 knows a ton if you want PM him and ask him a few questions. I hope to hit triple digits but we will see what happends. you will love the boat and hull. Key is an excellent seat feel and excellent steering system.

Hyper help me out whats the best solution. MikeS280 said the XR is pretty strong but he's blown around 3 already and i just got off the phone with Tom- Wild Child said the drive would be in pieces if i ran it to hard. So i have no clue hat to put behind the motor. Any help would be great. I was told BMax Konrad or Imco i just want to to go on the stock gimble i dont ant a tranny, i dont have the room.

I run the Imco Extreme Sc drives on my boat and have had no problems at all.The Bmax and Konrads are also good drives but I have had no personal dealings with them.My stock Bravo drives were good for one blast and then they were junk from all of the torque and then the gears went through the floor and then they are throw away scrap.

Oh Deere

Touch base with Biggus from Konrad. You can find him on OSO.

I can get a #6 drive off of Cougar man but dont know about a gimble,trans, or much about it

Revelocity

A number 6 retro-fit would be "huge science project" which you'd better off buying a new blank hull that's been properly set up this engine/transmission/transom/drive combination. This is not a bolt-on project!

I'd talk to the factory about retro-fitting the Konrad and getting an optimal set-up. The Konrad is a very strong drive but you'll lose about 3 mph compared to a Velocity Bravo boat and you should talk to someone about the handling changes as well. Although several twins have been set-up with konrads, I only know of 1 single engine (a VR1) that was set-up with a Konrad. You'll also need new steering but that comes with the Konrad ACE package.

How much does the new ACE package cost compared to the value of your boat? It always good to take a sanity check!
