Velocity VR1 HIN correct??
 

I was offered a nice 29 VR1 from 2005 but I wonder if the HIN is correct. I couldn´t see or take a photo of it because it´s hidden below the rubrail at starboard and the boat is in the water. So the owner send a photo from the papers and the MIC is VMD which translates to MIAMI CARON BOAT WORKS, out of business since 1980.

Can anybody tell me how the typical HIN of a VR1 looks like?

I'll take a look at my 2005 VR 1 later today and let you know. Any more details on the boat and pictures.

Are you sure it's not "VMP"?

yes, very sure. It´s clearly VMD. The whole HIN is VMD29061A405, which makes sense - except the MIC.

Padraig: As a newbie I cannot post a link, as I don´t have 10 posts yet. I have some pictures from the seller but I don´t want to post them as they are not mine. My wife took some photos but she has .. uuhm a different focus. I´ll try to post one anyway.

The boat itself seems to be in pretty good shape and quite stock. Original 496 HO and factory flame painting -so I was told. Isotta steering wheel and bimini, but no trailer.
Asking price is $51k, which is way too much in my opinion. It´s for sale in Europe - Berlin/Germany

Built January 4th of 05...........Umm 51K and no trailer...:bong:

seems to me the title doesn't match the boat, even if the HIN on the boat is correct, its a paper work nightmare

VMP is Initial Marine Inc which is Velocity.... what's the title & registration # look like? VM"P" or VM"D"? may be a typo from the last time it changed hands?

Change the "D" to a "P" & your get Intitial Marine Inc.

maybe it´s just a typo - VMP can quickly become VMD.
But which is correct anyway? When I search Velocity I get VMS and VPW


oops, you were faster...

ok, let´s say the hull is marked VMP29061A405, the year is correct, 29 sounds good to me, #61? How can I find out if it´s really a VR 1?

How can I post photos without a link? As paying member?

here you go..............

Thanks F-2 Speedy. Does anybody know the boat?
There is still a sticker "North Florida Power Boat Repair 904-874-0174"
