With that Velocity someone has spent a lot of time and money to dail it in for max speed without a lot of power . It was custom built light to be a race boat and rigged to go fast offshore . Should be a fun rough water boat if you don't need a cabin . Rumor is it can be bought reasonable .

Thanks - that is the big question, do I need a cabin or does it make sense to have a 39 foot boat without a cabin? Most of the time my cabin is just for storage.

Not having a cabin is hurting the resale , bravos will limit how much power not the hull . My guess is if you modify the motors up to 650's you should get around the speed you seek without killing the drives .

The x is low in that boat so a 1 inch shortly and a 5 blade would put it in the mid to high 90's and with a head and cam kit to put the 500,s up to 600-650 hp 100 -105mph is absolutely obtainable.

At one time there were quite a few Velocity owners up around here. Pretty tight group, did a lot of boating and runs together, was a part of it as well. The one thing that I never fully understood was the general feeling amoungst the group that all other brands were chit, and the owners were the same. More than a decade later the general attitude seems to be the same. Never understood it then, still don't. Maybe you guys can explain that to me.

IN YOUR NAME WE PRAY "AMEN"

I can't speak for everyone BUT " I " have never liked the look of FOUNTAINS or any other brand I've been a VELOCITY guy since 1995 and i allways will be. As for you and your boat personally.(Let us pray)

For the record there V22 the MAINSHIP was the "WIFES" boat she just needed me to be the captain because of the sheer size of it. "I" wanted to buy your 280 and i allmost had her talked into it when she found the MainShip online. Since we moved to FLA the plans have changed a bit.
1-Find a Job
2-Save $$ for a Home
3-Save $$$ for a 41' VELOCITY
Just wish the timing was better i would love to have Joel Ross's boat thats back up for sale.Miss the Velocity get togethers we used to have,but if your ever in MELBOURNE FL be shure to let me know so we can catch up.
