Dude Gen 3's on that, guess you want to get the exhaust out in a flash.
You'll have to give that to me in laymans terms, cause I honestly have no idea what you're talking about, I'm not well versed in all the hot rod boat terms though I admit
does the lower have a cav. plate built on it
I think it does, but I'm not absolutely certain I know what it is for sure. I'm going to try and get the pic tomorrow, wasn't able to get up there today.
Did the previous owner run that up at Raystown Lake?
I'll have to ask him, Raystown is only about 4-5 hrs. from here. The previous owner is also a member of the marina I belong to , and he's had the boat here for about 4 years for sure, but I know he went places and camped so its possible.

Just means Generation 3 manifolds from stainless marine. They are the high HP manidolds. I used them on a blower motor I had. They are thes best out there in my opinion.

Ok, see what you guys think about the lower, standard or short?. It only has the low water pick up, none on the sides. Not sure what to think about the skeg that needs repaired.

Good looking boat welcome to the family. Your drive is a standard length drive like mike said. You will love it I now I can't get enough of mine.

also that lower may be the older case like 1989 , the bullit was shorter on those cases and a noise cone helped them a ton

Thanks everyone, that's good news. I think I'll just look for someone to do a skeg reair and refinish and start prop shopping.

suumz, congrats on the Velocity purchase. With 600 HP, she should run upper 80's when you get it dialed in. Make sure you get plenty of seat time, as Velocitys are a driver's boat. Once they hook up though, they feel like they are on rails.
