This pad we all talk about on the 320
Why couldn't a person take an impression off a 41 pad make a mold, stamp a piece out of the mold and incorporate it into the hull of the 320? It is just fiberglass and what can't you make out of fiberglass. "And remember can't never did anything" I'm sure I'm not the only moron to think of this? But just in case PATIENT PENDING #320-41

I'm sure in theory you could do this, it is just fiberglass. It would need to be spot on if you plan to run it at 100 mph or more, and perfect most often takes a lot of time, which means a lot of money. So why would one put even more money into something knowing most would never come back to them?
As a side thought here, if a little bottom tweek would have fixed this hulls handling traits would it not have been done by Velocity in the first place. Then offer a new "bottom in a box" kit so owners could just stick a new improved one on their current hull, little 3M 5200 and you're good to go. It's just not all that simple, not impossible, just not simple.
Drive it and enjoy it as it is, or sell / trade it and move on. Either one will be far cheaper in the long run than trying to turn it into something it is not.

All right i've lurked long enough.....
RE, Hyper correct me if i'm wrong or exadurating.
VV you put 650 or 700 hp per side, 1.5:1 ratio drive(XR or Imco)if you have the $$$, 30" or 32" Bravo blades.
You may not go over 100mph but you'll be the first on to a 100mph.
Hyper's 320 pulls like a drag boat. It's a ton of fun when you pull up on a big old fountain with monster motors. They look over like your nothing.
Bill sticks um to the dash..... later..... and by the time they wind up we've already stopped and and cracked a beer.
In a era where most people arew running over a 100 why not be one of the fastest to 100. It's alot cheaper.
Good luck and make sure you tell the wife.
My 280 is called "Unauthorized Purchase" and the would be Ragged's fault.

Lotta bling out the for women. As for the power. i've learned that if you paint it the same as your current setup she may not notice the extra 400 hp.
Any chance a you draggin that 320 east to lake norman?
