We'll have to try and get together this summer and make some noise maybe up the river at jimmy bucket's or out to kelly's .....keep up the great work
Sounds like a lot of fun Lightning jet.

I made some big moves recently. The new motors have been ordered and we MAY be making the trip to the dyno in March! I'll be showing you guys a combination that is kind of unique with two 652HP small block 427's.

You Velocity guys in Ohio need to come to the Buffalo Poker Run in August. I am tired of often being the only Velocity there. Last year I couldn't make it and while there were 102 boats.... there were zero Velocitys!

Cockpit transformation coming together.




Transom fixes and associated graphics to blend in and modernize.
