Waveform,
Yep, my velocity has the built in cooler in the center seat. When i sea trialled it it was running 67 mph on the spedo at WOT w/ 3 men and 3/4 tank of fuel (we'll see next spring w/ a gps on how accurate that was).

Hey Guys,
I just purchased my first Velocity, it is a 1988 Regal Velocity w/ the 454 Bravo One. I was wondering if anybody had any tips or suggestions for me to address right off the bat. Some specific questions I have are 1) This was not the Mag version so it does not have the Latham steering ram and trim tabs, are these something I might want to add later on in the future or should I be fine w/ out them.2) Which prop is the best to put on, 4 blade?? and finally 3) What should be my top end numbers in relation to RPM's - MPH? Thanks in advance for any advice!!!

Wave,
I'm planning on G'ing up the seats today after I get done I'll post a few pics for you.
Thru,
Thanks for the greeting and good to hear there's another in the area. I'm planning on pulling the motor and checking the integrity of the transom, I've noticed a few stress cracks below the gimbal housing :0
