Re: Velocity 1500 lbs less then Fountain???
Haven't touched it since the first week in October but the last time out it ran really good! Been busy as heck and I just moved to Middletown so I guess we're neighbors now.
Just waiting for spring to come around!
How about you? Motors done?

That's as good as it gets!
I am going to run the power the boat came with and we shall see how that goes. If it gives me any trouble I will remove the entire drivetrain and start from scratch. In other words I will lose the 2006 season. But, on the other hand when I am finished, I will have a very dependable boat. We shall see.

Panther and I have been going back and forth on Velocity / Apache for a long time. He is a friend and we'll continue to bash each other even when we're on the boats screaming back and forth or the boats are under wrap. I know it's not fair, you can't compare a Velocity to a slow, Bravo (Imco) Breaking, need to over power relic river bucket like an Apache
Best thing to do is lighten up, I think the OL guys bash Reggie much harder than Velocity guys do.

They're all just boats, we get different brands for our own reasons...

I have to agree on the thin layup. Me and Bodyshots 32 Thoroughbred hull is practically transparent on the sides. The bottom of the hull is pretty solid though.

Actually when I was looking at boats it was down to 2, the 36 Resin Bucket and the 41 Velocity. It was a coin toss but considering I can't afford to keep fixing drives nor afford the maintenace on bid power I opted for the velocity. But I still want to be just like you, you're like my river hero
