Velocityet, When I Stated "cheap Material Under The Seats" I Was Referring To The Wood Used Under The Vinyl In The Gunnel Padding And The Rear Bench Seat And Engine Hatch. The Plywood Was Not Glass Encapsulated And Therefore Had A Habit Of Rotting, But I Still Loved The Boat.

nd is cheap on gas, and you can tow it with a car. 239-437-9480

I would like to thank all of you who posted to this thread! The good and the bad. You have convinced me!
Boating is supposed to be a fun experience. But this Velocity site has convinced me that not all people that boat are out to have an enjoyable time.
Seems like a few of you think that because someone else has a different opinion than yourself, that they a personally insulting you.
Grow the F%$# up.
It's their personal opinion. You know the old saying;
"Opinion's are like *******s, every has one!"
This thread was one person asking about a certain boat, and everyones experience with that model, year, engine specs, ...
This is a place to share info, not personal attacks. If you disagree with someones opinion, fine, state you opinion based on facts, not personal bias.
I will say one other thing, this thread alone has convinvced me not to buy a regal or a velocity. Guess why???
I don't care for the owners of them!!!!!!!!

I am not sure what liking or not liking the Velocity owners have to do with buying a boat but if you have questions about Velocity boats .... call or visit Steve Stepp at the factory. He is a good guy and will take time to talk with Velocity owners with or without problems and with potential customers with questions.
Good luck with what ever boat you end up with.

I'm the one who started the post...My '88 with the tired motor (600 hrs) ran mid 60's all day long. I replaced the motor last winter with a 540. So far haven't run it, got a Cig this spring. I can say that the boat is built like a tank and I have had no complaints about it. Solid, quality built and people can't believe the thing is almost 20 years old. We'll use it this spring as a day boat and use the Cig as a weekend boat. I post speeds with the 540 when I finally get the engine broke in.
