Got me thinking about it, but I really don't need 2 boats and I am located on Florida.
Wish I was closer.

Nice! what prop are you running?? I too have a 22 Velocity with an XS and have been playing with props to dial in my boat but I have a 10" bobs HD jackplate on mine so i have a quite bit more setback than your setup and a much heavier interior with all the speakers and so forth. GLWS!

Ben, I notice this 85 velocity runs at around 85mph that was the top speed that I got out of my 1985. Having read previous posts I notice your velocity runs in the 90,s Is it mainly less weight that is making the difference? thanks, Frank

My boat is definitely a little bit of a lighter lay up but is a ply wood core, the bottom is blue printed, I have a little more setback and don't forget the X is also faster

I may be going down to Florida to pick up a boat. If it helps with the sale, I could bring it down. Its a great boat.

Grab a flight to Westchester, or Stewart airport. Small air ports. Easy in and out

Wife decided that one 40' Sea Ray Motor Yacht is enough boat to take care of.
GLWS boat looks real nice.

You can always hide it behind a tree. Then tell your wife you owned it for 4 years. Where has she been. You remember that one������then smile. A piece of jewelry usually helps as well

That is a really nice package for $20,000. The hull colors look awesome, are those factory?

Edited post. Engine turns out to be a 2011 that was bought new and rigged in 2015. Selling this boat for a friend so didn't have the correct info on the engine was going off of when I knew the engine was purchased. Has very low hours and is in mint condition, has been run in fresh or brackish water since new except for the last run we had it on in long island but we cleaned it up and flushed it out immediately.
