A Velocity VR1 (28' boat in race trim) set the APBA Kilo at 80mph with a Innovation 425HP. I do not exactly know what class this was for though. I would figure a Velocity VR1 with a 525 would hit 90 or so.

I remember looking at the 280 (26' boat) with a 415hp Merc in it and it would hit around 70-73 or so.

If OFFSHORE ONLY was a condition for discussions on this site, it would be a pretty lonely place.....

This site is great for marketing for Joker and Tuff. I've had 3 phone calls from Canada this week for info on our boats. I'm sure other mfg's prosper as well. Thick skin and backing up your product has it's rewards.

The right thing to do...

I love hearing about new & improved products as discussed on OSO. With all the free marketing going on, why don't THEJOKER and TUFFboat pony up the cash to become authentic Offshoreonly Advertisers??

I keep ads running all the time on OSO. The only reason they are not on now is they just expired and I'm finishing up a new 28 and I'm going to put up new pictures on the ad. I've always contributed to this site since 2000. Yea maybe I should step it up a notch. I'll call Steve and see what I can do.
