22" Velocity outboards

[86 apache 22]

Dave, you're the reason you can't hit 80 mph with that PowerPlay. You're no light weight either. You need to go to 3.0L motors for more torque to push your mamath belly.

Anyway, will marine batteries take the shock if you mount them toward the front, I know a few guys have done it on SnF???

Politics and politics of Ed's weight. Two bad subjects to talk about when pounding beer. Ed is a great guy but dillusional, he hasn't seen 230 since the 8th grade.....case closed.
And for you, PP Dave......If Ed wants his and E's boys to grow up in a country with weak or NO national security, that's on him. For that matter, if he doesn't mind working for 50% of what his gross is, thats his choice. Or.....If he wanted to vote for the candidate whose platform defined socialism, that's also fine......LEAVE HIM ALONE ya big capitalist bully.
By the way ED, Nothing wrong with socialized medicine just check with the european countries that have had that wonderful system in place for the last half of century. Speaking from knowledge because I have family and friends through out europe but what do they know.

In short, I personally respect your vote unlike our friend Dave but if I were you I'd prepare by selling your 6.0L truck and your very republican oil burning 3.0L and replace them with a Toyota hybrid(and BTW that's great for the U.S.), and a 13 foot alum grumman with a 5hp electric motor.
Woops...if the latter is too happen.....here we are back on the weight issue, ya gotta lose a few, a few 25's, HeHeHe!!

Hey....lets talk religion next, LOL!!!

Alex, eloquently said. Unlike our friend Ed you have a grasp on the English language.

You see, Ed is constantly making up new words (see above).

back on topic please...

If you need the pad and want a bit of the extra weight of the Stepp Velocity, it would be interesting to see how wide Ragu went when he had the Super 21 "padded" for speed. I am sure that he was pulling some ideas from the Velocity as he had been a prior owner of that hull.

Buizilla,

How about a little insight into why you are so focused on the Stepp 22?

[tigweld]

I dont belive Ragu had Rob change the pad, only added the notch to his 21 supper.

Tig is right. Pitt said no one widened their pad just notched the bottom.

Mike,

When you bought my Super 21 you knew that the reason was to bring the hull home to where all Super 21's ultimately return, Long Island, and do one of the finest restorations that a Super 21 has ever seen. Super's always return, and stops at foreign ports like mine are just wrong turns.

That said, how wide is the pad that you installed on your boat?

Greg, I just cut a notch, the pad stayed the same.

[Greg G]

Got it Mike, I thought you widened the Super 21 pad as well as cutting the notch. Thanks

[HighVelocity]

How far is the average notch??? My 22V appears to be notched at least 6-8 inches, and pad has to be about a foot wide.

If you go too far with the notch I would think you loose control??

[Greg G]

Confused again........Do all the Stepp Velocity 22 hulls have the wide 12" pad plusthe notch?

[cutwater]

Greg, I think all the V22s. Stepp and Regal, have the notch AND the 12" pad.
