More cockpit room mainly. Probley handle big water a little better also.

And I also run a 5 blade prop. You guys will love the 28' class. The look and feel of a big offshore boat but still easy to pull and load and un load. And you still only have one beast to feed, winterize and service..... Welcome to the big singles club!!!!

The velocity does have a shorter (length) cockpit then my Baja, but I like it because it makes the nose of the boat longer and I like the look. Besides, from where I sit in the driver seat I have plenty of room. The others on the boat should be happy they aren't watching from shore...lol

I agree about one motor to feed (gas and parts). Just finishing a new blown 509 and can't imagine having to build two!!

Love the part about the OTHERS. haha. everyone wants to ride. and no one wants to pitch in. or help clean when its on the trailer.

what kind of HP you expecting out of the 509?

Not sure. In the 650-700 area. Hoping for low 90's. according to Steve stepp (onwer of veloctiy) said a true 650 hp will be upper 80's

Damn you guys! I need more power!!!

:-)

Raise the kidds rent and more power will follow.

I think i just need to rent a room from uncle Tom... Then I could pay for 540's picking off his money tree
