The time has come. I know two different hulls,but quality vs quality? The Velocity has a 496ho will do a solid 72 or 73 on gps. The Savage has a 525 and will run about the same. has anyone here owned both? I know the Savage will handle big water much better just wanting all the info before I pull the trigger as this saga has been going on for a couple of months now I have all the pieces in place to purchase. The Savage is a 2006 the Velocity is an 08. any info will be helpful. I will be doing most of my boating in sw fla the Gulf and down in the Keys.Thanks

Two words, Steve Stepp.

The Savage is a true V hull if I'm correct it probably goes mid 70's with that power, they make a decent boat but I'll keep my 290SC.

Did I miss something? Thought there was a done deal on a 290...

Sonic is a heavy boat and rides deeper , Velocity probably ride higher if you can get it up on the pad . You may get the same top end but , 525 will use more fuel , have shorter expected life span and be more expensive to rebuild

Don't think the 496's can't get expensive I blew one then blew 80K to fix it. Heee!
