You cant go wrong with a 280 Velocity. Had one for 11 years and loved it, it was just time to go bigger for the big water.

Driving a Velocity, especially the 280 is a little different than a standard V hull. I found out the hard way, it likes speed, my first trip out was in 2' to 3' waves. I was going slow and we were pounded, my wife almost made me sell it. I took it out later and hammered it, and low and behold about 55mph it smoothed out like nothing was there. My optimal cruising speed now is from 55 to 70mph, that will smooth out any inland lake. It's a good thing it only takes about 4 seconds to hit 55mph.
