1-No,but it has not broken yet.

2-No warranty on the engines,but you did see with you own eyes,they are strong.

3-I cant cut the deck.

4-I will wave a wand over your wifes head but I can not assure you it will change her mind.

Hey ThoroughHustler,

If I sell my boat,it will be a huge deposit on the new 390 you want to sell me so if I was you I would help and not HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,HA,JUST KIDDIN :D

Does ITS effect handling and speed either plus or minus? My twin engine boating experience has been in a Formula 272 w 260's and 311 with 600 HP blower motors (props turning out) and currently a Black Thunder SC430 with 735 HP/SSM#5 (props turning in). Boat is shaping up nice. I am partial to black/silver/teal when color time comes. Thanks, Joe Murray

Since the Velocity rides on the pad, it doesn't seem to need more stern lift. We haven't done any twin engine boats with ITS yet, but it does seem to help with speed and handling in the single engine ones. I'll try to post retail pricing for the different engine options on Monday.

Does this boat only come with a windshield or can it come with a fairing?

Looks AWESOME!!! More pictures PLEASE!!!!

What about price??

tiufb 08-07-2005 06:12 PM

Re: 322 Spy Photos
 
It will be available with a small plexi windshield like the one on the hemi boat. No fairing yet, but it has a very high freeboard (the same as the 410) so you may not need one.

So your saying it's not going to have a windshield like the 29'. Or can you get it as an option?

Is it going to be available without power?? I've noticed that they sell some boats new without power.

Made it to the lake yesterday for preliminary testing. The cockpit and cabin still need to be finished, and more prop testing done. I'll post interior pictures and some speed results when everything is wrapped up. This boat has twin 496 Mag HOs, and is going to Gifford Marine in New Jersey. The owner is Bill Gifford, who is a former offshore world champion, and a true enthusiast.

Look great,can't wait to see the cokpit and cabin pic's. When do you think gifford can expect delivery?????? I'm going up there as soon as it shows up to talk numbers.

Re: 322 Spy Photos
 
I think the LOA is 32'5", I'm at home and don't have the specs. The boat feels quite big for a 32, large cabin with nearly stand-up room, and a very deep cockpit. The boat should leave the factory at the end of the week.

Still not quite finished, but getting close. The boat will have a small plexi windshield also. The cockpit looks a little plain in the pictures, but the lay-in carpet should help.

This is the enclosed head compartment with sink and shower. I'll post inside pics once it's completed.

Re: 322 Spy Photos
 
I will post pics of the engine compartment also, I didn't get around to it today. This boat has the tilt back seat like the 320 did to give access to the motors while optimizing cockpit space. The boat was ordered with no trailer by the dealer. So far we have only run Bravo 1s, but now there is a set of 5 blade, round ear Hydromotives on it. I'll let you know how they do.

Wish I had that instead of the full height bulkhead I need to climb over. Although I'm sure it adds a lot of strength to the boat.

Hey Brian OR tHONG boy,
No Banjos this weekend,And I dont have to push the numbers because no matter what they do it wont compare to the to my 320,and if you do the math the price,the speed you would spend about 230,000,00 to even come close and it still does not have the sleek lines as the 320.Check your E Mail

We're still sorting out the windshield, the first one was too tall. Steve tested with the 5 blades today, no real difference in speed, and time to plane was about the same as well. Here's the engine compartment pics.

how does the back seat work does it flip forward

Thong Fellow 08-26-2005 05:55 AM

Re: 322 Spy Photos
 
Yes it does if you look at the picture on the left you can see the fire boy tilted forward,and a small angle bracket on the left side. I guessing thats what holds the back of the seat.
