Im looking at some boats and was just wondering what the difference is batween the two styles of Velocitys If anyone can help me out with some information that would be great.

VR1 is basically a cut down, lower profile velocity 290. It will be faster but have a smaller cabin.

Tbe 290SC and VR-1 are the same length boat and hulls are the same. The 290SC has a raised deck for cabin headroom. This also gives more freeboard (higher sides) in the cockpit. The SC also has a bathroom. VR-1 is a little lighter, faster, and sleeker.

There is also a 280 and 260, what Velocity are you comparing with the VR 1?

The VR-1 is really a sit down boat given the much lower freeboard. While the hull is the same as the 290 it definitely "feels" different. Although the 390 is not a sit down boat (except for racing), the 390 and 410 also feel different and share the same hull.
