I only have experience with the RH, it worked great for me. Regardless of what they say putting the load on the top bearing on a standard B1 case is harder on the drive. For that reason alone I...

Velocity never put any hook in the bottom on purpose. The 26 mold (the same mold used for the 280) is an old mold. With old molds there's maintenance needed to keep it servicable. Most, if not all...

I was throwing a 26P lab Bravo 1 @ 5600 - 5800 RPM to around 85 mph on my '96 Velocity 26. At your redline...

Pat,

That boat is the sister ship to my old '96 26 :) You'll love it.

BTW, with the 502/415 motor you should have no problems running in the low 70's, mid 70's on a good day. My old 26 ran a...

No, it's not in Ormond by the Sea but I'm in Ormond Beach :)

The boat is in Pensacola.

Thanks guys.

This ain't my first rodeo so I know the cash in hand thing. Just looking to see what the prevailing thoughts are.

I tried to scale up the images but that's as big as they showed up.

If you look at the bottom of a Velocity, especially the old 30 (new 322) IMHO that's exactly what you'll see. That's not in any way a slight on Steve's adaptation of the design and like you said, he...

Vintage used boat pricing question

I'm looking at a very nice older Donzi 22 Classic and I'm having some difficulty getting my arms around the price.

Here's the details:

1987 Donzi 22 2 Plus 3 (Classic)
2001 Stripped and...

Thanks for filling in the details. Like I said, I only had a story my dad told me years ago. Obviously I had my dates wrong but at least I got the lineage right ;)

I'm also pretty sure the Brunswick Marine has a 5 axis CnC setup that cuts the hull and deck plugs instead of using the older, manual method of building plugs by hand.

Yes, it did. The owner of Checkmate and the original owner of Baja were in business together back in the 60's. In fact, the owner of Checkmate was a boat dealer that got into the boat building...

I think it was a '96 but the bottom design through that period was the same so unless it was layed up with a different material any 33 from that era should be very similar.

That doesn't sound like a problem. I helped rig a 33 Powerplay a few years ago with twin 502 / 600's and we ran 91 mph on GPS all day long.

Hi Mike,

Yea, I dropped out of the performance boat stuff about a year and a half ago. Sold the 28 and tied the knot (not related, the wife wanted me to keep it but I needed to cash).

Velocity doesn't use vinyl for the major graphics. It's all layed out with tape and painted. The only files they might have would be for the Velocity logos. I doubt they would send you the files but...
