Did the boat look as good as it did in the pictures? That will be a real head turner. Oh and welcome to the Velocity family!

Default Congrats!!

Also new to this boat. Mine had speedy 2's on it befor I got it. I have talked to a few people that knew the boat and they told me he changed the lowers to TRS(2''shorter) and got rid of the chine walk problem as well as picking up more speed. You should be able to sell the speedy 2's buy TRS and have some extra $$$ for engine purchases

I hear those TRS drives cant take to much pony a range of 450 to 500 max. After that they dont like being pushed and they break much easier. But its def. a great looking boat. And i can atest im looking to get rid of the chine walk.

Drive height: Measure from the top of your outer transom to th underside if the deck to hull mating surface. I will measure and post mine tomorrow. I know that this isn't the best method of measuring but it will give you some comparison to mine.
