anyone have any opinions on the 23 regal velocity. i have the opprotunity to buy one which seems to be a reasonable price. just looking for opinions good or bad thanks

That boat was built by Regal. Stepp got the company back in 92. If the boat is super clean and garage kept it could be a good buy. I have only seen a couple that wern't wet look closely ate the transom and stringers.

I bought a 1988 Regal 230 Velocity new in Dec 1987. The boat had a 454 Mag/Bravo One and would run upper 60's all day long! It was a blast to drive and you could really feel the boat when it climbed on the pad. It was easy to tow and had a usable cabin for a relatively small boat. You could easily overnight/camp in the cabin. The hull was based upon Steve Stepps original 22' Velocity but with a Euro styled top deck and molded swim platform. The lack of quality materials for the cockpit (seats/combing panels) was their biggest downfall. I've heard of some quality control problems with the layup by Regal but I never had any problems with my boat at all.
