What do you own?

I wonder where this 2013 red 220 with the 300XS ended up. Really good looking colors IMO ..............

I agree, that red one is very attractive

There are more pics of it on the Velocity site:

Maybe I'll strip all the seats out, take everything out of the cabin. Take it to sea level, salt water with a strong tide in my favor maybe it will see 86. Haha. Had to edit this. I need to lose 50 pounds of bodyweight too, lol. Would like to see more pictures of everyone's Velocity in here.

I sold mine last year to a Nozzleman. I now have a 290 SC with a 496 HO.

Here are some pics of Nozzleman's 2004 with the new-style deck. It has a really nice cabin

No GPS yet. Only Livorsi speedometer. I see 80-82 which I believe is off. I've never really tried it alone either. Just got the boat last season. I was running a 4 blade BBlades Mercury Revolution prop 14 5/8 x 24. 1.62 gears. The Stainless Marine hydraulic jack has 4" of setback. I've seen 6200 - 6600 rpms. Probably slipping a lot a 6600.

Big Johnson, I have been meaning to ask you, how do you like the Velocity compared you your old Warlock?
I know they are quite different, but are you happy with the switch?

I actually love every boat I get in! Was going to get something like a Superboat, Shadow, Intimidator, Activator for something different since I had a Velocity before but this had the 300X with only a 100 hours on it. I always loved this engine. The Warlock was fun and fast. You didnt need to do much to drive it. Just push down the throttles play with the trim and hang on to the wheel. The old Velocity had the V8 Johnson on it. It didnt feel as fast as this boat but it was a great boat and a lot of fun too. Wish I had the money to get a different boat every season. It's hard to get what you paid for a boat. I like the smaller boats since I trailer every weekend and take weekday rides here and there too.

Great reply, thanks

And yes having allot of money for boats would be awesome,
I have had as many as 4 at once, but I sure was broke then,
I am down to just 1 right now, but I am always trying to figure out what I want next....
