Thumbs up Factory Tour and Oh Deere's Boat

A big thankyou to Kenny for his hospitality and time spent giving my wife and I a tour of the Velocity factory.
Velocity makes a quality product and has been listening to the concerns of customers about styling and keeping with current styling trends and methods.
This is evident in Oh Deere's boat. Interior pieces coated with a cool carbon-fiber look, and the four bolster set-up will be great for safety and comfort of passengers.
Boat looks great, Doug !!!! Sorry we could not connect there, hope to get a ride at the Pirate's Run. Are there any tax advantages related to the color scheme you could make me aware of ????
Also, wife loved the feel of the ultra-leather cabin and the room of the whole boat. Can't wait to feel the performance too, as I am sure you are more than anxious now.

Thanks Kelly. They really have done a great job on the boat, with everything I have asked for. They plan on testing this week. I will be heading down to run the boat in Sarasota, which should give me some great feedback. I will leave it at the factory for more testing for a month. It may take a bit to dial in, as it is the first boat with 700 NXT single. As for the colors, I will have to ask my accountant, or hit JD up for some coop funds. Will definitely catch up at the Pirates Run in June. Always nice to have a womans perspective on the cabin.

Don't need to see the pic's...I got to see Oh deer's ride up close last thursday. it's one of the sharpest I've seen. Congradulations, I can't waite to here the #'s once it's dialed in.

The one on one tour was awesome. Picked out my new 115mph 390. Sorry Hyper

You New Englanders should drag them down here to the Chesapeake for a weekend TF will make all the arrangements

Has the boat come north yet and what are the numbers ?

Need to know if I should pull along side it or not come late June.

Last I heard was that it is still being dialed in and a new prop from Merc was to be delivered today.
