No I don't no the guy .. All I was saying is that if you were a spoke person . I would not buy a Velocity.

I agree with the mesh look vinyl materials. I haven't had any experience with cleaning it or how well it holds up or even how much more expensive it is, but it sure looks nice.

Hey FFO,what kind of boat do you own,I own a Velocity and love it,yes I have some issues and Steve Stepp knows what they are you can bet your as8 ON THAT,so tell us what kind of boat do you own,a BAYLINER or a turbine powered 200 MPH MTI.Also if you are a friend of Thorough,sorry about your luck.

PS If I was a spokes person I would not bash here I would have already fixed the problems and moved on to the next task at hand. :mad:Also I see you own a 280 Velocity maybe you need to also check to see if they used that 18.00 dollar tube of caulk.And if you want to Question me as to my knowledge.Bring it on. :mad:

Re: Honest Opinions Needed
 

Hyper First off like I said I am not a friend of Thorough . Second I don't recall me saying anything about your knowledge and I don't care. Last if you no so much why didn't you apply for the G.M Job at Velocity ...

Re: Honest Opinions Needed
 

Why would I want those headachs,I have enough of my own as I am sure it comes with many problems and not enough pay to compensate.I am self employed and know there are lots of headachs to deal with besides I thought you were going to get the job as GM,Spokesman and President.

I don't chime in much but I do know this to be totally true. I have a 24' that's been through hellish conditions and is still in one piece. That day I would not have dared to take it to BMC. But we too in a 32 Sunsation that day turned around at Pooles Island. Couldn't pull it off with the the equipment. Hat's off to the brave like Rick who made it that day.
We did finally make it that day by automobile..

Thanks shawn. You and Gizzi are awesome. Although I think they were more like 8 footers later in the day when you guys came through.

Alright back on track.
On the newer models, Velocity is using Auto loc engine hatch actuators. They are way to slow and to light weight for the task at hand. After a couple of problems with mine, I replaced it with a Hardin Marine actuator. It is much faster. Super heavy duty , polished, and has a foot more travel (24") . I would recomend using the Hardin Marine actuator as standard equipment.

Re: Honest Opinions Needed
 

I agree with Revd Up,the Hardins are a much nicer and much faster than what is currently being used and the extra height would be nice also.Good call on that idea.:cool:
