I owned the first of the 32's to come out of the mold in 1996, now Hypers boat. The problem was that Velocity did not build a dedicated mold for the boat, but instead built it in the 41 mold by moving the transom foreward. The short lived 35 was built in the same manner. The base of the problem was that both suffered from the fact that the pad which they were expected to run on was not the pad portion of the 41 hull design, but a portion further foreward, not large enough to support and balance the boat at speed. Thus the inherent chine walk, which is, by the way, more manageable with the addition of large power. The power allows you to man-handle the boat and run more conservative trim and drive settings, while still attaining speed and control, as opposed to having to run on the edge of any reasonable control. (Hence my name choice of Ragged Edge) R&D and testing is the best money any manufacturer can spend for the benefit, and ultimately the safety, of their customers.

The 39, while still made in the 41 hull mold, is reduced in length only by virtue of it's lower profile, it retains the complete, as designed, bottom and pad. And due to it's low profile and center of gravity is a good performing boat.

The new 320, '07 - '08 design and earlier of the same, is a recreation of the original 30 of the past, Regal/Velocity days, with a new modern top deck. The old design was a good handling hull, and I understand the new is the same.

There you have it, Velocity 101 as I know it, based upon a long term relationship with the line.

I agree with that, lots of power and conservative trim worked best for me.Over trimming at very high speed just made my boat unstable and tend to get unsafe

I agree,invatation only.

Are new guys welcome too?....

You could hold in the Thousand Islands, and disguise it as "capital F" F@U&+A:& Fest!!!

Ah I see, You guys want to start nut busting but as soon as you get it back you cant handle it and you break it down into a secret little club like your 5 and its a "i know him so he can come but i dont know you so you cant." Hey guys grow up. By the way Hyper, i enjoy your two face deal, You tell me to call you no prob as you say its "Its just guys razzing". SO I "razz" back and you get your "thongs" all in a bunch. SO much for hey see you down there and the info great bunch of guys we have here. You have my number Bill call me if you think of anythign else youd like to say or do a 180 from what you post on the board. Im not sure its me that needs the growing up. Like i said everyone can type and be Keyboard Cowboys but have the nuts to tell me just give me a ring if you feel so strongly. And just for a 2 cents worth it was one of your own that said most are just Keyboard Cowboys so dont blame that one on me.

There is no 2 face deal here,we are just razzin but I have got to tell you,there are alot of people that do not want to put themselves in a bad situation like someone getting hurt,which is what is going to happen to you if you do not learn to respect that boat of yours,I do not want to see anyone get hurt especially trying to prove a point so the best thing to do is to not put anyone in harms way.Alot of us on here have known each other for many years and have built a trust factor especially at the wheel of our boats.You I am sure will not understand what I am saying or maybe you will I do not know but that is how everyone thinks it should be including the coodinator of the run.

Bill its just RAZZING come on get over it, So we cant bust acorns on here anymore is that what you are telling me. You cant tell me how bad i drive or how bad you drive with out getting all bent out of shape, come on its messing around. PM AIRTIME, KNOTRITE, SLBOATDRINKS and there are many more that have boated with me up here. Let me know after that how insane, dumb careless ignorant of lack there of common sense i have with a boat. You need to take a load off or something.

If you guys are that anal and have your belts a couple holes to tight and your trucker hats with the little air holes for vents to small and are cramping your brains then i feel bad for you. Cant have a good time and mess around then hey V-Fest must be great with pocket protectors, high water pants, and silent choice exhaust. Let me twirl my finger and jump up and down for joy at that one. Guys have some fun let loose, but some butt on one another (even though direction is all towards me) but i dont get made im play along. Hey maybe its not the "In Crowd Style" and if not doesnt seem the in crowd is worth being with.
-Mike

I figured you would not understand,you can razz who ever you want including me,I do not care,all I said was about not getting in to a bad situation.Period
