The twins do not chine nearly as much as the single Velocity's. I wouldn't be overly concerned with this as it happens generally in only smooth water at highly trimmed top speed - drop a little tab and it settle down. I never saw this below 85 MPH in my 320. Take your time, keep your finger on the tab switch, watch the water conditions and you'll be fine. Don't be spooked about the pad - the boat goes up on it by itself naturally - you'll feel it start around 55 MPH. Disregard misinformed comments about "falling off the pad" - it's a non-event.

I remember the 30' had a fairly sizeable pad (in width) and that hull would really get up a fly...I remember the boat we had would really fly with tabs at 2-3 and drives at 6-7. What a fun boat. :evilb: :drink:

Yes you're right that the 320 was made from a shortened larger hull (it sure looks like the 41'). The 30' hull was a better behaved hull (actually using a smaller more proportionate pad) and that's why Steve decided to use it for the 322. None the less I really enjoyed my 320 (but I don't want to swap my 390 for your 320 Bill!):drink:

The pad on the 320 is around 12.5" wide as compared to the old 30 was 16.5" so the old 30 handled much better. And you are correct on where the 320 came from. Bob

Will this boat even run 85?

What set up was your 320? Top speed?
