Looking to make a move up and happened to take a look at Velocities website. I noted the 29 had a single in it. Question is whats the perforamance and ride like. Seems with a single it maybe a little light which can have ill effects on handling.
However I do like the idea of staying with a single.

I have a 29 SC 496 HO, which out of the box runs 70-71's. I did add the CMI headers and increased 3-4MPH. I have experienced absolutely no Ill handling, and the ride has been fantastic. You probably would not want twins in a that boat.

I am currently building a 32 with single 700, so my 290 is for sale. The boat is perfect, with only 60 hours.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Don't know if this will help, but my brother has a single engine 32. The boat handles great. It runs in the 70's with a mild 572.(GPS) I would not be afraid of buying a 29 single.

I'm hoping that they will have a couple at the Chicago boat show for me to look at next week. Do they run a pad??? I'm assuming so based of the speeds of the boat.

All Velocitys have a pad bottom.

I may be putting my '05 on the market shortly. 290SC,525HP,ITS,12V/AC,CD/MP3/DVD/LCD. Boat was at the Chicago show in '05 right after I bought it. It is yellow fade and blue boat on page 6 of the pics thread in this section.
PM me if interested.

Modern Marine in Schoolcraft Mi. was a dealer for them but i don't know if they still are or not. I would like to check one out also from pictres and what I have read it sounds like a great boat for my family.

They are an awsome all round boat. The high freeboard make them particularly suitable for a family.

Modern Marine is a dealer. Bought my VR1 from them. They had a 290SC in their showroom a year ago. Very nice boat. Same bottom as the VR1 with a higher freeboard.

So whats the difference between the 28 & 29?? Integrated swim platform??
