Velocity VR-1 Hull in Rough Water
Anyone have any experience with these hulls in rough water? Just bought a '06 VR-1 and im curious as to how they handle rough waters. I live in New England and generally take my boat out of the mouth of the Merrimack, which can get pretty rough at times
Would have posted in the Velocity forums, but it dosent seem to be that active, so I posted here

What he said. LOL. It does take some seat time and knowing how to read the water. It is pretty much a sit down boat however I like to get my but off the seat and brace my feet against the foot rest, my back pushed into the backrest. It raises me up a little so I have better view and allows me to use my legs to cushion the ride. My bolsters are not stock so you will need to experiment. Before I got the VR 1 I had a 280 and I think the VR 1 rides better. Also you will learn that many times faster is a better ride.
