I had a 1991 Thouroughbred (280 Velocity) as my first performance boat. I really enjoyed it and I hope you will also. They are a drivers boat and faster than most in it's size. Enjoy!

Congrats. I sold mine a year ago and keep asking myself why. Owned a 96 280 with a 600hp 515bbc. If you drive it smart and smooth the drive will hold up OK. Only broke one. This group has the best knowledge base of any page. There's 280 owners here with everything from 330 to 1100 hp. All you questions will get answered. I owned a Velocity for over 15 years it's a great family I'm not leaving even though I'm just watching for now. You have to check out " 41 upgrades" what a build.

Congrats and Welcome! Depending on the water conditions will determine your tab needs. Definitely go for the full on hyd steering. My VR is my first with it, the difference is night and day. Get some pics of your new toy for us.....

As vicious22 said, there's a ton of Velocity 280 expertise and experience here, and while there will always be more than one opinion, you can count on people wanting to help out. Congrats,enjoy the boat and heed the advice of the guys that have been where you are before and you'll get a great set-up boat.
