Nice boat, like the 29ft with a single doin 80+. jeep says 5000lbs with tow package

Today I traded my Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with 5.7 hemi
for a 2012 3/4 ton Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins diesel......that should give me more safety margin...thanks for your input

Better to have to much tow vehicle then not enough. Congrats on the new truck

Congrats on your new Water Rocket!
I too owned a 2004 290SC with 496's and Loved the boat......it was generally faster than shorter boats equiped with same power. (The bottom is exactly the same a the 2005 APBA Kilo record holding VR-1)
I used to compare driving my pad bottom 290SC to that of a Corvette on water. Definelty a drivers boat!!...and a very safe boat as well!!.....the only boat I would attempt a high speed radial turn in........that's for sure!
I was finally faced with upgrading power in my 290SC or jumping up in size and going with twins!!

I now run SSR#1 with 525's and couldn't be happier!!

Have Fun with your Velocity!
