Thanks to Dave of MDG Perf. I have a surveyor lined up for next week.

CU is talking about this one.
http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...d.php?t=174561
It is about 1 hour away from my sister that lives in PA. I'm planning to see it this weekend.

Pat, if your heading south on the GSPway and you want to stop over for a laugh or two, give me a shout. Superbabi is sitting in the driveway with no motor !!!!! :D

I think this is where J C Performance is supposed to come in. Come on Jeff. Make Babi do 100. Your the man for i!!

Hmmm...
If I buy the boat in MD it has a 650HP/540cube that I will replace with my 502Mag.
We could bolt that 3.3L supercharger from the 600sci on that 540 and make well over 800.
That might get you there...:D

Better make sure you yank that 650 hp motor before you drive it, or that 502 will be for sale. :eek::D:D

Good luck in your search, Pat. ;)

Now you talking Pat....................Faster is always better !!!!!:cool-smiley-011:

Pat, why would you swap out the 540?? You won't get much more than you would for the 502. Just my .02:cool-smiley-011:

Good Question.
Well, my insurance company will only insure a boat up to 500HP. I cannot change insurance until the all the claims from my accident are closed.
My buddy Bob got one of his teeth broken off. It was capped but the dentist is not sure if the tooth will live or not yet. If the tooth dies then Bob will need an implant.
I am not going to ask Bob to close this claim until everything is right.
Besides that, I like the stocker I built and 70mph will do just fine for next year...:cool-smiley-011:

Well at least store it in the garage till your ready!!

Once again, if all you guys got was some bumps, bruises, and a broken tooth.....you got lucky!!!!! Maybe you can get the ins. co. to get him one of those gold implants:p

Pat same story with the Y2K, Insu.co will only insure the Y2K up to 600 HP.

I put a deposit on a 1999 28 Velocity without power today.
Hoping for delivery to CT on Wednesday...:D

Congrats Pat!!!!! When is the "rigging" party??? I'll bring beer and my favorite lounge chair!!:drink:

That's great!

Thanks Guys!
I'll take some pics this weekend...:D

Pat I'm sure your very exited about your new boat. You will have all winter to rig her !!!! Best of luck.:grinser010:

pat
do you still have the trailor from the 24?

Congrats Pat!!! Cant wait to see it on the water!! If you need any specialty rigging components, im sure we could help!:D

WOW !!! 2 velocity owners in the superboat forum!!! wtf!!! are we gonna get kicked out:eek::eek::eek: good luck with it pat tripps

Pat,
That boat rules! Hopefully you'll run slower than before so I can keep up! :D:cool-smiley-011:

Congrats Pat!

Did you get the pics I e-mailed?

Yes.
I will start a thread to sell off what is left of the Superboat in the next day or two.
The trailer will have to be the last thing to go though.

I'm not sure how fast she will go with my power; I'mm guessing 65-70 tops...:D
If you push on your throttle a little harder Chris, I'm quite sure you'll be just as fast if not faster...:D

Yes, and thank you...

Well Tripps, it is official!
I got a call from our marina; the boat has been delivered and paid for...:cool-smiley-027:
I know that some might want to get rid of me, but I still have a Superboat too. Oh, it's for sale...:eek:

Pat,

Congrats on the Velocity! Do you still have your swim platform from your Superboat? A guy on speedwake may be interested in buying it.

Dave

Thanks Dave.
Yes, the swim platform is now for sale.
I would rather not arrange for shipping. That has proven to be a real pain with the sale of the interior.

I'll let him know you still have it. He is in Texas though.

Pat,
You're confusing me..push sticks forward=faster?
Whoa...that's deep.
C

Best of luck with the boat Pat. Your Family...... you can't ever leave. ;)

Your bud
Rick

Thanks for the kind words Rick...:ernaehrung004:

You guys couldn't get rid of me if you wanted to. Besides, I may just buy a 30' Super one day. I actually came pretty close before buying my Velocity. We'll save that story for Zuperfest...:eek:

I left work early today to pick Henry up at school so we could go have a look at our new boat before picking up baby Jack.
He and I were both vary excited crawling around inside...:cool-smiley-027:

Good luck with your new ride,always exciting having a new toy around(just in time for christmas) Did you buy the one from md

Thanks Dave!
No, not the 1995 in MD.
I bought a 1999 without engine and drive from Ducky's Boats in PA. She is rigged with all the goodies, solid engine mount, K-planes with indicaters, twin ram full hyrdo steering, Kevlar hull upgrade, and...

Pat,

Congrats on the Velocity & hey just in time for christmas .Very Cool :ernaehrung004:

Pat, just think how she would purr with a 600 sci blue motor !!!! As it turns out I can locate one for ya !!!!! :grinser010:

No thanks G.
My need for all out speed has been curtailed some...:rolleyes:
I have got to spend some $$ on the house next. For 2009 I'll likely be building a new power plant.

I was talking with T-Mone last night and now that I've got a trailer worthy of making trips, we'll definately be exploring more. The Lake George Poker Run next fall will be on the list...:drink:

Thats what I like to hear!!:drink: You wont be the only 28 there either.:cool:

Congrats Pat... Any Pics???
