Hey BLACKCAT083,I have had dealings that were not good and that is that.I think it is great that they have apparrently changed there ways for the better but when you get burned you are a fool to put your hand back in the fire.But in reguards to there 390,it is just priced to high.

Both boats have been for sale at or around that price for a long time . The market today has a lot to look at in those price ranges . Many of the boats that sell are at major price reductions . The 390 with big motors and Bravo drives is a bad combination in my view . Ask Velocity Tom or Velocity Vector what selling their boats was like . You can list them for any number you want . On those if you want to sell them , knock off 40% and they will go away .

I've seen it to many times , big motors breaking drives . It might work on a lake ? After you have to come a long way home on one motor and get to buy a few drives ? it kinda takes the fun out of boating real fast . That Velocity claims to have over 800hp , your stacking the deck against yourself from the start . You will have to baby it and hold your breath anytime you go out . Boats like that will have a hard time being reliable . It would be neat for a little while , till it breaks !!!!

Hey Ray I hear you are looking for a Skater possibly,I know where a 40 is in Florida that you can probably get cheep if it is still there.Let me know if you are interested and I will see if it is still there,I would like to buy it but I am concentrating on buisness more than anything at this time,let me know.

Getting ready to put in offers on 2 different 41 Velocity's first . One has 900's and 3a's and the other is an x-race w/600's and 6's . If they turn me down , I have a couple older 40 Skater's I am looking at . Would rather a 36' but that is still a little out of reach . I told my wife a Skater might just be what I need to cure my sickness . When I can afford it Steve will be building me a new Velocity that caters to my insanity. Gives me a goal to keep working toward .

I was just about ot get over the shell shock of selling my 320 till I read this. Thanks Ray you are always trying to help a buddy out. I did sell it to a nice guy that will take care of at least. We all know it's not about the money we spend on our penis extensions, "That's what my wife calls a powerboat" it's about all the fellowship we have while we are doing it. The memory's and stories we have, no one can take those away. The drive we all have to get that little extra out of each one of our boats keeps us going. I have driven across town to save 1cent on a gallion of gas but when the guy say's, K.C. "That part for the boat in black is $10,000.00". I ask, "How much is it chromed". I have learned one thing since I have been boating. I keep getting older and the chicks stay the same age.

Hey KC , you and I both know a boat is an expense , not an investment . Hope that post about your sale was alright , seemed like a good example how tough the market is . I am just into having the most fun I can with the time I have , I am not getting any younger . Sorry I missed you on my way back this year . My uncle got sick and had to cut my trip short . When I roll through next year I'll be hoping for a ride in that new cat . This is the first season for me without a boat in a long time . I will be on the water again next year , just not sure in what yet . And I don't want to know what I spend on boating , Heck if I did I'd probably quit !!!!!!!!!!
