I traded my 22 Velocity in and partnered with friend. Velocity is building a new 220 for us. It will have a Merc 525EFI with an ITS drive in it. My old 22 was a blast. This one should be impressive.

Sounds like a nice package!! Keep us posted!

Are you sure that's going to be enough HP to keep it on plane?

That should be fun!

Congrats! Are you having your layup done with S-glass and vinylester resin?

I will aske them. it is already out of the mold and in rigging.

Really? When I talked to velocity they said they wouldn't rig a 220 boat with hp500 let alone a 525. Prolly aren't so picky now, just happy to sell a boat. I'll be interested to know how the set it up and how it handles. Keep us updated!

The Engine is in. The x dimension is 5 1/2 in higher than my old one. They are having to raise the engine cover to accomodate the engine. The nice thing is it is easy to get to the bilge. I will try to post photos.

Yeah, post some pictures of your windshield. I was looking to replace my broken windshield on my 2004 Velocity 220 and Steve said that they are now using a newer version on a 22 thats being built since the company who made the original version has folded. That was probably your boat he was referring to.

I like the idea of building a little rocket. Put the long tabs on it to help keep it down in the rough. I just went from the Dana 900's to the 1000's and it does make a difference in rough water. Nothing better than whipping the twins when they think they have you beat.
