35' Velocity??? 1995
 

Anyone know any info about the 35' Velocity? I guess there were 5 of them built in 95, but I didn't know Velocity ever made a 35.

dammed 41'

Re: 35' Velocity??? 1995
 

ahh, so it was built just like the 36 is now. A shortened 41'. Anyone know how they handle?

I think the end analysis was a stiff ride. I don't think the pad size location relationship CG was right.

I believe this boat was #2

check the date here on the Canadian border. It had just arrived and Mark was sure as he!! gonna take it for a ride. We went out on the 23rd too! It was snowing the next day. :eek:

Re: 35' Velocity??? 1995
 

of course I was into it as this was my ride at the time.

can you say "perfectly trimmed Velocity"? :drink:

what's a nice 35* Christmas cruise in a new hot rod without snowmobile gloves, a cold Molson and a Santa hat? :eek: :drink:

I thought the Seaway authority guys out there taking out the shipping channel markers were gonna sh!t their pants when we went flying by them. :p

Perfectly trimed Velocity :D :drink:

Re: 35' Velocity??? 1995
 

hard to believe that was twelve years ago this Christmas. :eek:

Re: 35' Velocity??? 1995
 

Yes, I see you do speak the language... :cool:

Re: 35' Velocity??? 1995
 

There is a car dealer in Canada that has one for sale with one popped engine,he did say that it would run 85 to 87 MPH with 525sc carb motors.I have also heard that they were a handfull at speed but you cant always believe what you hear,because most people cant understand that you have to drive a Velocity not just point and go. :cool:

I've had my eye on this one. I just can't leave the 280 it's the best balanced Velocity out there.

Re: 35' Velocity??? 1995
 

that's the one and it's been for sale FOREVER

Re: 35' Velocity??? 1995
 

Yes that is the boat and it has been for sale for a couple of years,it is a little rough and like I said before has one popped engine,need I mention a high Dollar engine to rebuild.When you get the bill for rebuilding your face will look like this :eek: I can remember seeing Steves face /AKA Vicious it looked just like that. :D

Yep, I was talking to Pops one day at the factory (Steve Stepps father) and he told me that the 35 never really worked well. I've seen one up close and they just don't look proportioned, probably due to the fact that it was a cut down 41. The transom was really tall, on a trailer you had to reach up to touch the rub rail and I'm 6'3".

How about a picture of 2 Velocitys trimmed out and going by a fountain. :evilb:
