should we tell the story of my X-wife's water damaged boat Peter?
now don't bash me 'cause I owned 2 myself and had good luck with them, they were good boats to me, but that doesn't mean I have blinders on...

You can tell the the tale of the soggy banana, it likely will be better recieved comming from you rather than me. I can jump in with any details you are missing.

and that funny has nothing to do with the faded yellow gel or dockrash.
somebody should call 'em and ask if the entire starbord transom/hull is still split wide open from frozen water damage.

Re: Honest Opinions Needed
LOL I ran with this at 80 plus from Still Pond to Turkey Point until it broke down. I'm with Brian too. If anyone was around for the Fells Point Festival this year in the pouring down rain. I left Middle River by Brian's and came out behind Hart/Miller Island only to find 6 footers. Make to the BMC for a awesome time Oh, and two Fountains had to turn back, One had a wave come over the bow and took off the fairing and the other swamped a motor. So I don't want to hear Chit about Velocity's.

Re: Honest Opinions Needed
Hyper are you a spoke person for Velocity ? If you were I would never bye that boat. I own a 28 Velocity and I love it, but let's be honest no one is perfect. This board is for talking about boats good or bad.

Re: Honest Opinions Needed
Hey FFO,what is that statement supposed to mean.No I am not a spoke person for Velocity I am just a repeat owner of the product and happen to have a great passion for the product,and I am not a person to sugar coat anything,I call a spade a spade and what boat would you not buy.Are you a spoke person or a friend of Thorough.
