The guy put stickers that say level on already! He was really helpful kind of like you guys thanks again everybody. Should be able to post some pics tomorrow if my day isn’t too crazy. Luckily I’m able to keep it in his garage until it’s my garage.

Beautiful VR-1! My first performance boat was a 280 with twin 260s'. It was a handful to say the least with the outboards and a pad. What a great find. Enjoy!

Best of luck with the weather and on the run. Send my regards to the other Velocity guys. Hope to return next year.

Hey have a good time out there! Great looking boats guys I’ve seen pics of both when I was looking to see what other people have done to them. Should be getting out with a friend Sunday but I’m cleaning it up today hopefully

Dredge Harbor is well run and rack storage is a nice option. I store my 280 on the trailer at the marina - like the flexibility to hook up and go! Be happy to meet up with you sometime on the Delaware and go at your pace. It's generally nicer heading north and there are new floating public docks in Bristol to pull up and go to lunch etc.
