Re: 39 Velocity
 

Steet, indeed I am a Velocity brotha'. Being familiar with a vast array of manufacturers, designs and propulsion I must say that I am quite impressed with the structure and design of the velocity line of vessels, having trashed a few other maufacturers boats either deliberately or coincidentally.

Re: 39 Velocity
 

I went for a ride with Kenny at ST.Cloud races.85 mph with twin 550 v10s.That would be the 41 in Trippin's avitar.I am also a fan of the Velocity.So far i've owned a 22 28 and now having new 290 525hp built.They are all a blast to drive.......Every one at Velocity treats you like family when you visit also.

I've been running a 41 for the past 8 years in the big water of NJ. No breakage and only one small stress crack. The boat has a total of about 400 hours on it, 190 on the pair of 600s that are in it. The 390 is the same exact running surface of the 41, you'll love the boat and the way it handles.

8000 pounds ????????????? W T F ?

Never mind...Lost in the translation.

Re: 39 Velocity
 

Well my wife and I took a ride over to Sanford, visited the Velocity plant and took a test ride on a 2000 390. What an amazing machine. Kenny and all the people we dealt with at Velocity were simply awesome. We have been spending the last couple of weeks learning how to drive it and having fun. We took the boat on the "Unofficial (The Poker Run was canceled due to local politics) OSS St. Pete Fun Run" and smoked everyone except the cats and "Smokin Joe" (A 42 Scarab with tripple 1000s and #6 Drives).

Looking forward to meeting all the Velocity Brothers out there.

Re: 39 Velocity
 

You have made me proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You need a set of Mikes hydros. on there

Re: 39 Velocity
 

Props:

It has stock Bravo 30s has anyone ever tried labed Bravo 32s. It is running right about 5300 with the 30s.

What other prop setups has anyone tried?

Thanks

Re: 39 Velocity
 

I had a set of labed 32s on my 390. Still nothing like a hydro.

Re: 39 Velocity
 

I loved the top end performance of the Hydros but it's tough to beat the all round performance of the Bravos, well at least a set of perfectly labbed Bravos with the diffuser rings cut off. Speed difference might be 1 mph now that I have the props set exactly the way I want. I'm hopefully going to try a set of 5 blade Herrings this weekend just for kicks.

Tom:

Do you still have a set of those labbed 29 Hdros?
