Just for the record my 30 was set up at lake-x in1985 with twin PFM 750 turbo motors . Their records showed 103mph and noted problems with 1 motor . I changed over to super charged 572'" motors and uped the pitch on the props after that . Ran it for 10 years , just the facts

Yours as you probably already know is an x-race boat . Mine was built as a race pleasure model with a full cabin . I only had 3 man in the front with a normal back seat . Had to add the back 3 for saftey reasons . A local x-racer Art Lilly played with that one of yours . Any others are or were probably race boats too .

I am not banging on the Aerotech but I am tired of Velocity not being recodnised for its speed and ruff water capabilitys and the Velocity name not being associated with the big boys in boats because in reality if Steve spent the money like other people have he would in deed be more well known but he did not and everyone thinks that Fountain and Outerlimits and ETC are the fastest well tht is not the case they just out spent cheap old Steve Stepp.I have owned several and all boats in the same size and power range have been put to shame including a few Aerotechs and many others.

You are correct with the rot on some. Boats have a very good lay up, however when they rig them, they seem to be little lazy with sealing drilled holes. The new models have no wood or very little, so I think it's not a problem any more. Bob
