Even my wife drives

Great Pics!...:cool:

the ramp in Brigantine NJ..nite before the AC Race...

Here is my 260 just sold it and ordered a VR1. Going to be a long 6 weeks

..welcome aboard, "tj"

good luck with the VR1...s/b a blast!!

:cool:

Tell us about your VR1, what motor is it coming with?

Most every thing comes std that I want. the Eng will be a 525 Mercruiser ITS gimbal The boat is being setup to Henri at Performance Marine in Oakley, Ca. He had setup another one that I road in but sold it before I could make up my mind. Couldnt belive the ride compared to my 260, which had a HP500. Pretty simple graphics. Blue big V. Sorry if this isnt the correct description of the V. Red outline following the V and fading stars behind the V. Just a little red White and blue.

Does anyone have pics of the new 36 with staggered Ilmors? Thanks Clay

not too clear, but....

Yes , Pictures of Staggers
 

I do have all the pictures of the 36 with Staggers , but I can not post them. I may have to pass them on to Velocity Mark for posting. I took about 10 pictures of it at the Miami boat show. It looks awesome and will run like a bat out of hell. The viper motors are something that will have to be reckoned with.

41 in St. Cloud...:cool:

Well it has arrived wet test at the factory 88 GPS. Short test when I picked it up. Great ride. Taking it out tomorrow first time. Henri at Performance Marine in Oakley, what a great guy to do business with. He makes you feel like you are buying the boat together.

Re: Pics
 

TJvelocity,what power are you running in the VR1.I have a290 being built for this summer.Still trying to decide on power.

Nice looking boat .....

Re: Pics

Velocity4ME,
Its got the 525. Nice Balance.
Had a great day on the water. Boat ran flawlessly.

Re: Pics
 

tjvelocity,
what prop are you running and what rpm is it at. 88 mph is fast for that kind of power Also how doesi it plane out and accelerate with this package?Thanks for the info......

Re: Pics
 

Velocity4ME,
Factory provided a Hydromotive Labed 29 and it turns 88 mph 5450 rpms . Put the tabs down and a little throttle and it will come right out of the water. Then bring the tabs up, rpms at 35 trim her up and feel her accelerate. 35 no trimmed about 50 mph.
I plan to get a power prop for Tahoe. Thinking a 26 or 28 Bravo one.
Enjoy your boat. Doesnt the facory provide a prop with your boat.

Re: Pics
 

I will be installing my own power in the 290.I had a 280 with 500hp and a28 bravo1 on it.Ran 80+at 5200 rpm.How did you get the 525 to rev past 5200?Is it the 525 efi.

Re: Pics
 

Factory test and setup. I can only go by their word for the rpms but the GPS telltail shows 88. I am taking it a bit carefully so havent topped it out. Besides when left seat is occupied by other half the scream factor effects the throttle response.
