I still have your Velocity 280 down here in Bradenton Beach!

70's Thunderhawk with a 25HP Envinrude longshaft. My dad bought it second hand in the early 80's for putting around Passamaquoddy Bay mid coast Maine. I was in my early teens and was in heaven for having access to a powerboat!

My 1989 10 meter started out as a red icbm and this is what I did to it

I remember at least at the dealer I went to frequently that all the 'Brunswick' boats they had were kind of ranked in order of - Bayliner, Maxum, Arriva.
My very first boat was a Baylliner 2050 Capri that I bought from that dealer in 1989 for $14,500. Kept it three years, traded on my first Baja (a 208 Islander) and they gave me...$14,500 trade in, lol!

Tri-hull...love it!!!

Had a 70's era16' Browning Mustang with a 70 Rude very similar to this one. Family loved it! Sold it and the new owner promptly destroyed it.

I remember someone on here did the math on that boat.

Knew the design, cruising speed, divided by a 2 hr tour and came up with them driving it on the beach 15 mls from its home port!!

Hilarious.

Guessing alcohol was involved in figuring out the equation!

Classic Trip & Stuff. Way too much trim for conditions.

My first boat was a 17' Hydrostream Vassarette YT with a 2.4 200 on it.

My wife called it the "Death Rocket" lol.

Many moons ago, I had an Australian Bullet with a 2.4 and my brothers named it the “Death Boat”.
