The laid back windshield or one like the Velocity has look much better. What would be a price point for a 28' with everything included but a motor and drive and all wiring back to the motor completed?

I like the idea of a unrigged hull completed minus drive and motor or you do options to have all rigging run and a drive on it all that is needed from the customer is a motor. I think there are a lot of people that have good powerplants that want a newer boat and wouldn't have a problem buying...

The biggest issue I see, which was pointed out earlier, was the cost of a new 24'. I'm guessing a new 24' is going to be in the $70-90k range. For me thats a lot of money for a 24' or even a 28' boat. New boats in general are getting so expensive that its more appealing to buy used. I think...

I'll trade you straight up my 22 Velocity with new motor, floor, and interior for your 42 Fountain.:D

80 mph seems like a nice number with 2 reliable 502 500hp motors. I know everyone is used to hearing 150 mph cat speeds and 100-120 mph v hull speeds but 80 is still plenty fast especially in the wave conditions you are describing.

I took it as no matter what you try to do a terrorist is going to be a terrorist and no matter how much we try to help other countries or put our beliefs on other countries there will always be terrorist. If you are a terrorist you should be killed. We have way to many people on death row for...

Whats been done to that boat to make it stable at those speeds? What size motor is in also?

Is it real marble or stamped concrete to appear to be marble?

I have heard of one running 110.

I didn't know a 365hp bravo boat would run 80. I would have suspected it to be around the 75 mark. Did all the boats you drive to 80 have hydraulic steering on them? I do know the stock 330 MPI with the bravo went 69. I am also running a 1.36 ratio drive on this boat instead of the stock...

I really haven't played with the tabs while running hard. According to Steve, I shouldn't use the tabs for all out speed. I will probably try them out next year now that I have some time on it.

Yes, it has Kheifauer (spelling?) tabs but you don't have to use them unless you get in some bigger water. I talked to Steve Stepp about driving this boat and when I ran 77mph I was way over trimmed and chine walking pretty good. I later found I didn't need much positive trim and when I ran it...

A little story on how Velocity came to be mine. My previous performance boat was a 24 Python that I had rewired, put a new transom in, new motor, new gauges, stereo, and buffed out. The boat was almost back to new except for the interior which I had planned to redo this past summer. Long...

Cool story. So how do you get picked to do this?

I saw the fountain. I tried to talk him in to it but teh fire damage is a little scary. I also found a 96 sleekcraft in LOTO for a good deal. I have sent all listed so he can look at them. The 27 fountain at the broker is realistically worth about 15-18 not the 21 they are asking. I have...
