never.

1. It isn't made for that type of application, it isn't a high reving motor and is designed to push big heavy boats.

2. You can do two Merc 300R's which will be much better for that size and style and both 300's weight about 200lbs less than one 600.

I’m sure it would work great in a single app. Counter rotating props mean it wouldn’t prop walk. And it’s got a 2 speed transmission which would make it speedy.

But you’re right about the weight. And the $/hp is higher than twin 300s, so I doubt you’ll see many people do it for that reason.

I would assume it is a reference to Velocity breaking the 100 mph barrier in a production boat, the 30’ with 475 hp Merc motors back in the day. It was used for marketing back then. A reference to a brand breaking barriers and being fast.

Exactly

Just like the 1 on the side of a lot of boats

Well I think it's an incredible accomplishment to hit 82mph in a 43ft luxury boat with twin 450R's. That's a boat I'd be very happy with. Hard for me to warm up to a boat with three outboards and I flat turnoff when I see 4 or more outboards. To me, any V bottom 33ft+ in length with a cabin that can be used and can run close to 70 with twin outboards is the sweet spot, so I'm blown away at the speed numbers for this boat considering the size.

Great accomplishment I agree for sure, nice lines except for the windless exposed (JMO). But keep in mind it is 8'3" wide and dry is only 7200#. Not many 42' boats on that big of a diet. I wonder about the rigidity of it, but then again in the age of technology it may be just as solid as an old battle wagon from one of the other big 3 out there, I have left the names of the innocent out for protection lol.

Pretty sure its the same hull mold the old 39/41 comes from the added length is just the bracket.

Weight was 8400 lbs? Scott had a thread on Facebook where everyone was guessing. Either way for what the client wanted it is a nice setup.

Great looking and it runs 82 on twins, winner!

I'd omit the 100 mph stitching and put the anchor in a locker then add a bimini top!

Wildman_grafix

Hmmmmm funny it doesn't have a Bimini, maybe not done yet that is surprising. Like Scott has said, want a fast one with the suggestions, call him he will build it! LOL.

Its like most of the boats built now from all brands, they are ordered and built to what the paying customer wants. Velocity has been kicking the 29's out the door like crazy, have to give it to them. They are doing well and that is good news no matter what we all think or would want.

I like the look of the boat and don't think the outboards look out of place. Who is involved with velocity now? When I owned my velocity years ago Steve and Kenny were still around, but then heard Velocity was bought out. I saw a velocity 26' bay boat a few years back that had a mass price reduction. When I asked the dealer why the huge price drop I was told that velocity had closed down. Glad to hear they are still around making fast boats. My 280 was fun boat.
