Steve & Kenny at the Factory...
I know it's been said before, but I thought I would say it again. The guys at Velocity are first class!!!
I bought a 1990 Regal Velocity 30' out of Long Island, NY and Kenny offered to have me have the boat dropped off at the factory for them to put their eyes on it.
Sure enough, the boat got here this morning, and both Kenny and Steve were all over it. By the time I got there, they had already a list of suggestions on how to get it reasy to run and setup to the max.
Even got to BS with Steve for about 15-20 minutes, about Allisons, running the Still Crazy boat back in the 80's and even scaring the crap out of the Mercury Prop engineer when Steve suggested to him that he could add a little cup to a $5000 prop with a hammer...
Great morning.
Thanks guys!

Although Steve did laugh in my face when I told him I was adding a pad to the Sonic and extending the strakes
Do you know if they still have the molds to your boat??
Awesome stuff Jeff.

you are right , i was there when Steve had a original 30 up side down cleaning it up and getting ready to pull a mold off of it , my bet the new bottom is even strighter and sharper then the old ones.

The greatest thing about the Velocity is that you can really feel the boat climb up on the pad and excellerate once the hull frees up!! I loved both my 22 Velocity o/b and Regal 230 Velocity/454 Mag. Both were great boats!
