39 Velocity
#1
I am thinking about buying a 39' Velocity. I would like to here any pros and cons about this boat. My wife is pretty hot on the Hustler Sling Shot. Performance wise they seem similar. Which one do you think would be a better rough water boat?
Thanks Frank..

I have been running a 390 for three year all over the country in poker runs. Flat or rough water once you learn to drive a 390 no other boat with the same power and size will out run you! Im building a new one wright now it should be done by the end of May.Just in time for Jacksonville in June.

390 Hands down. The 390 with the same power will outperform the Hustler and guaranteed safer. I have seen a 388 upside down in our lake from a high speed turn. You will not see this with a 390. I know from personal experience

Thanks for the input. Has anyone ever broken a stringer or anything? I understand they weigh about 8000 lbs. The lighter the better as far as I am concerned. But strength is a concern for me. We like to run hard!

You will not have a problem with that boat breaking/Velocitys in general are very well made and a ton of fun to operate,once you learn how to run it be prepared to kick some serious butt on all other equally powered boats,buy the Velocity.
Hey Velocity Tom how is the new boat coming along,they called me the other day and wanted to know if I had a interest in your old 39 FOOTER and I said give me a good number and we can talk,if not I will continue to look fo a 320,so if anyone comes along one please let me know. I also have a gorgeous 280 that I will sell,trade or whatever,just ready to go bigger.
