If you are looking for the cleanest and one of the fastest 26 Velocity look no further!! I know this boat from new, this boat is in like new condition and has been kept in a heated garage since day one, the boat has seen 105 MPH with a set of Mach props, anybody that knows this boat knows it will run mid to high 90's ALL DAY, the last Velocity run on the Chesapeake speaks for itself, how did those (BIG JOHNSONS) sound when they were going buy you?? And they went buy every boat in that run !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've seen this boat on 3 of the Velocity rally's and you won't find another one like this. It looks like a brand new boat.

Bob,
Good luck with the sale. What size Velocity are you getting next?

Links,
I ran up front all day on the last Velocity run and never saw or heard the Big Johnsons go by me!!!!!!!!!

Bob's boat is a wonderful 26' Thouroughbred and no doubt would have been a leader at Velocity Fest (with Hyper's very fast 30 Thoroughbred) given more favorable conditions. The real leader after ALL the boats got together at Fairlee and restarted - Joel Ross and his 41'! There were two 26's keeping pace however with the big boats for the run north - Paul was one of them.

Paul, What boat were you in? The only boat that beat us (I was on Bobs Boat) to Hart Miller out of both groups that left was a 26 I/O with Sid Gorman on board!!

This smiley best describes this boat......First off it's Red......it's evil fast......and it dances over the waves!!

Drag Car acceleration!! And the sound is friggin' intimidating.......I say it sounds like a million pissed off killer bees. (no pun intended....as in the 28 Apache from Jersey w/2 Big Johnsons)

Good Luck on the sale Bob.....somebody is going to get a sweet boat!!

By the way.......what are you getting? Going after the fastest pontoon record?
