Our new Velocity 290SC
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXlxsAezg8g
The build of our 290SC started 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-was over reving), 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.
Steve Stepp and the entire Velocity Team represent the true essence of the industry and sport. A great family!!!!
Need Help! I plan on towing the boat with a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland that has the 360 HP Hemi and tow package. Do I need load leveling hitch or sway bars?
We will tow infrequently as we live on a lake and will keep the boat on a boat lift.
One more thing. Does anyone participate in our Poker Run on Oneida Lake (see link below)?

Congrats on your boat. I dig the grafics and the smoked windshield. I have only had mine out for a week long vaca when we got it at the end of last summer. 525 should be mandatory.... wish mine had that power. hope you enjoy..
