On display is our 290SC started build in Nov 2011 finished Jan 2012. Poker Runs did a test / review on the boat on Lake Monroe one week before the Miami Boat Show.....84.9 on GPS with two people turning a hydromotive Intimidator P-5 Lab 29" pitch at 4900 RPM. I sent the prop out to lossen and pick up more revs. I have also a Hydromotive Quad IV 28" pitch(was sent out to tighten), a Mercury Maximus 28" pitch Lab, and a Hering Bravo 1 Six blade 28".
Our experience with Velocity was over the top. Kenny Hohwiesner provided a level of customer service that I thought didnt exist anymore. Kenny is driven from the heart with his love of boating. An amazing individual with exceptional attention to detail. Kenny typically does the work of three people.....a very high level of energy.
Kenny convinced me to upgrade to the HP525.....I am glad that I did. His assistance through the whole design process was invaluable.

And oh yeah, 85mph is really booking for your combination!

Send some pictures / Prop Talk / Motor Talk
Thanks....Send some pictures of your boat. Our x dimension is 18.5.....What is yours?......Also what are you running for a prop?......We dis extensive prop testing which may or may not be helpful to you. Have you considered the new Mercury Racing HP565?....
We live on a lake in upstate NY (21Miles X 7 Miles)...The boat is kept on a lift during the summer making it easy to test props and hold some fun parties.

I don't know what my x dimension is. I measured from the propshaft to the bottom of the pad and my propshaft is about 3-1/4 inches below the bottom. If the x dimension is driveshaft to bottom distance, we just need to know propshaft to driveshaft distance to compare.
Sounds like you have a great set-up on the lake! You'll have to post more pics of your boat.
