Too bad about the whole Velocity thing...mine fits in the criteria and I spent well under your budget. Plus it's only a couple 10ths off 80 and will run 75 any day of the week loaded down with stock power. Lol...

No offense to velocity, or anyone that has one. Yours looks different than the ones I've seen that are newer. When did they change them?

That is a great looking boat

This boat is by far the most boat in your budget:

For the record I'm open to mid 70s boats that don't need much to hit 80...I.e 32/35 fountain.

You pretty much said it right there, 32/35 fountain hold out for a clean one, under 35k shouldn't be too hard, I know a couple guys one who recently picked up a 32 fountain that is very close to stock, (76mph) extremely clean 28k. Another guy I don't know as well picked up a 35 with hp 500s I believe for 26-30k also very clean. both with trailers. I must say getting above 70 with stock power makes a lot less headaches and less expenses all around especially if you have the need for speed. light upgrades, like having your props sized and done, exhaust upgrades, extension boxes should get you to 80 in a 32, if its not already there.

Mine is a 1990. The earlier Steve Stepp boats and some of the Regals (as with mine) were more classic looking in the lines. Early to mid-90's (Thoroughbred/Velocity) Steve changed the decks a bit to reflect what the current ones look like today. They do still make mine, but the deck is different and they call it a 322.

Only issue with this boat is when it comes time to freshen the motors or if something breaks. Your in Big $$ more than likely.

Budget boat that could come with not so budget repairs.

Great looking boat...and the motors make me salivate, but I have a feeling that's sans trailer....so probably another 5-6K.

302Sport 08-09-2013 11:00 AM

$3k will buy a trailer for that boat as its stupid to go blow $6k on a new trailer for an old boat. ill almost guarantee if you showed up with a check for $32k you would own that boat. It's worth a call plus that boat will eat a fountain and $hit out the sunsations you are looking at.....

fantastixvoyage 08-09-2013 11:23 AM

Its the flat deck that gives it such good lines. Sharp boat, didn't realize Velocity had that in their lineup before

I agree it's worth a call for sure.

I had my eye on it before our current boat deal. It's nice but the lady wanted no part of an older boat and it makes life a lot easier when she is happy.

I agree, that is a great price but that is a boat you buy when you have $60k. Get the boat and trailer for mid $30s and keep $20k plus for WHEN something breaks.
