And no never did get the prop wizzard to finish the job. Work pretty well, just need a little bit more TLC. I think the deal is the wizzard cut the diameter down and on this hull with the high X it should have been left alone. I think come spring I'm going to try some Lab Maxes directly from Merc Racing, talked to them late this season and what they have offered to do for me seems real fair.

This looks like a great Velocity and a very nice deal! Someone should come grap this up!

Most comparable 32 Skaters are not equiped with sixes, $40k paint job and do not have wind protection. Buy the drives, paint and trailer and the hull is free. Or build a new one for $500k complete.

In a few weeks we may be repowering Byond Reason with big power and going to market for more money. If interested less power now is the time.

Sorry but a Skater with Sixes and Velocity with Bravos are not even close to the same price. New a Skater is 300-400% the price of a new Velocity. Used is the same.

KC you might think about going bigger than a 32 . When going over 100mph size matters . A 36 or even a 40 would be more stable at speed . Plenty of deals available on either model . Dave at MDG rigged a few 36 Spectre's with 650 bravo's that held up pretty good . Capible of speeds in the 120-130 range and are also fairly reliable and reasonable . There are a lot of good deals on just about any boat , even ones with 6's and big power . Good luck with your next project , hope it turns out as nice as this one did .
