Ilmors will not make it a rocket,man,sorry? Don't bring that ride to the Chesapeake, you might get that cape ripped off. Cool boat though.

Curious, what will be ripping the cape off. I was up there back several months ago and was not impressed with the turnout of power with about 100 performance boats in the "Jamin on the James" I had Ilmors and had 95% of the field covered and I was not that fast. Rocket Man is probably faster than me by several mph. I guess it is all in perception

OK. I meant Northern Chesapeake. Don't get me wrong, I think the boat is awesome. I fully appreciate the uniqueness of one-off rigs like this. I think I speak for a fair number of Velocity owners who frequent this forum (many who have owned more than one) we admire the fact that Velocitiies are distinguished from other manufacturers for many reasons but mainly for not having ventilated hulls and can run as fast or faster than like powered boats. We just want to see one roll out of the factory with some big merc. power and some #6's to compare to those million dollar rides.

Raptor, I have to agree with you on that one. I would like to see someone come out of the factory with the 1075's with #6's and see what the boat can do. I know that Ben's new 390 with the new Merc 700's is very impressive with the NXT drives and they are still dialing it in. I would expect to see numbers close to the 39 OL. Should have news within a week or two.

Great idea. It would be nice to get the gang together for a good time. When you get all velocitys together, we always have a great time.
