Velocity Plant
 

Hey Fla guys...what's the distance from Orlando to the new Velocity plant??

any idea?

thx
:cool:

from downtown you are looking at like 20 minutes max in traffic... Where are you going to be comming from?

..I'm going to Sea World with my daughter & wife..actually coming up from Ft. Myers early morning...and going back that night....thought I could make a stop.

Is that do-able?

20 Minutes!? I wish I-4 was that good....:D

from sea world depending on the time of day, and the day prob 20 minutes to 1.5 hours ....also from sea world I-4 east to State Rd 46 (exits to the east) first light bang a left (hickman dr.)
should be appox 1/2 mile on the left. easy to find ... I think...

alot to do at seaworld so I have heard ...haven't been in years...could easily consume an entire day there...

although there is always the greenway....not much traffic at all...but a round about way... I would suggest hitting the Plant first then Sea world ...

You are not kidding. What a mess.

Like i said depends on where yer comming from!... Sea world IS another story! it will take you ALL of an hour just to get downtown from there... The traffic is a mess down there!... Like Nasty said try to plan on going to the plant first, THEN driving down to sea world.

..thanks guys!

To BodyShot1 from Kenny at the Velocity Plant. If you start from Orlando take 417 (the Greenway). Although it's a toll road it will bring you right to the plant with no traffic. Lots to see at the plant right now since we're getting ready for the Miami Boat Show. If you need any other information or direction feel free to give me a call at (407) 321 1340. Looking forward to hearing from you.

What day are you planning on doing this also? I might be able to sneak out of work if its on a weekday for a little "field trip" myself!... hehehe

KenDo,

thanks for the info..looks like I'll be up that way Tuesday 1/28 and now staying over in Orlando that night.

I'll give you a call when I hit town.

..just wanted to say thanks to Ken,Libby,Walt and of course Steve Stepp, for taking the time to show my family and me around the plant...yesterday...much appreciated.

..Ken, I'll be in-touch as we progress with the 32'..

Hey Ken/Marty?

When we visited the plant about 6 months ago there was a boat in sorta a separate part of the building. We were told it was a very special model and was just about finished with super special graphics. All we could see was blue gold and green.

Was this finished> Any photos of the completed graphics??

Thanks

You bring us back any goodies??;) ;)

Hey Marty, mabye you can claim the trip as a "business expense":D

410
 

..there was a sweet 410 that was in final rigging for the Miami show...w/KE 675's....that might've been it..???

:cool:

Thanks for stopping by the factory, Marty. Enjoyed meeting with you and your family. Hope you liked the guided tour. I'm sure the rest of your stay in Florida will be a great vacation.

This was not the boat that you saw. The boat you probably did see was the anniversary edition 390 with 675 KE's. Check out the February edition of Power Boat Magazine. They wrote up a review of the 390 anniversary. Gave it a wonderful rating. Let me know what you think. Are you going to be coming down for the Miami Boat Show? The 410 that Marty saw will be there. Regards, Kenny.

Hi Kenny

We look forward to Miami and if we can find you will stop by and say hello.

Take care and Many and Happy Sales...

Oh.. We were the ones with the loan inprocess for the Seashore Marina in Edgewater..

Kenny,

Good luck at the show...& we'll be in touch....

Marty

:cool:

Gdfatha, We will be in the convention center look for the banner. Looking forward to seeing you

Ken Thanks very much for the hospitality that both you and Steve showed me on tuesday. I know that you guys had a lot to do with the boat show coming up in a couple of weeks but it was to know that both you and Steve would make time to talk to me. I have the pictures of your boat and will be uploading them sone. I left your shop at 12:00, and pulled into Naples at 3:20, not to bad for a Uhaul truck.
