You do realize that just was my opinion right? I'm certainly not stopping anyone from calling and inquiring but I'd be stunned if OL said yes (labor/material shortages would kind of force them to focus on complete, higher dollar builds). Would they do it for a client like Doc Jansen that wants to build a new race boat, absolutely!

The poster was asking the question in order to build a boat his way on a budget. Buying a rigged boat then selling off the engine package defeats the purpose of keeping it on a home built budget.

Just to clarify my idea with what I was saying...I wasn't trying to try and cheap out on an OL because I don't think that's possible. I was just saying that if a guy were to have a 1000 HP blower motor and an imco say outdrive power package and want to put their own stereo in it then would they be open to either installing the customers power package and stereo components or sell it as a "bare hull" for the customer to finish. It just seems like a huge waste and opportunity for damage buy getting the whole boat rigged and then pull everything out and install your own stuff. I know the only way to tell is to call but was just spit balling an idea is all.

I think lots of Rage/activators are built that way. 100-130mph depending on how wild you are

Can it handle two 450's as well? Im sure one is planned right? Would the 29 with 450's bring back the Reggie "Kitty Kitty" war of cat vs V? LOL, Kidding

What have the larger inboard powered 29 boats had, was the largest a 600 boat or was it a 700? The dude that had a background in hydraulics and painted it in the Gulf livery colors? That was a 700 wasnt it?

Maybe the 300's kept that boat under $500K? Every little bit counts!

Pretty sure it was Ilmor power, I am friends on Facebook with Peter, sure builds some nice stuff.

The 29 Velocity doesn't have a 3 foot bustle counting in that 29 feet. Peter, the guy above from England posted once that it really was a 26 foot boat, his words not mine

Rage builds a very similar boat... you can probably buy a hull setup from them. the finish work is top notch

It might run decent with just twin 450's. Anyone remember what it ran with 520's?
