Re: Fastest Non Step V-Hull
My uncle has a 1990 30' Velocity and it is a good bang for the buck as far as power needed to run fast, But you do need to know how to drive our you'll get hurt very quickly.

Re: Fastest Non Step V-Hull
One thing that also helps the Velocity's for add'l speed is the built-in setback into the transom. This helps to raise the X dimension of the drive because the water has a chance to rise back up once it leaves the pad area. This was what Steve coined the "Stepp" transom. (I.e. the pad ends before the transom or the very rear of the boat.) I believe the Fountains were built this way too.
What fun is that???

Re: Fastest Non Step V-Hull
I think what Paul is asking is, what's the record for a straight bottomed V. Not which hull is faster. What is the fastest a straight V has run?

I did have my boat at LOTO once. That was a true test. On a busy Saturday afternoon, we were running 55-60, jumping cruiser wakes and dodging SeaDoos. What a blast !

Re: Fastest Non Step V-Hull
Fastest I've heard....
22 velocity - 123mph
260 velocity - 111mph
280 velocity - ??
390 velocity - 117mph
If you do a search on here for fastest velocity, you'll find a thread about it. Doesn't mean they are actually the fastest though.
