How fast are these boats with say a Merc 250 EFI. Thanks Mike
Mine is a 1990 and is cherry. I'm the third owner. It's been bulletproof for me for five years. I've absolutely loved it. No issues, no problems, We straightened a small hook at the tail end of the bottom when I bought it and it runs and handles great. The Regal years were 1,900 lbs compared to the pre-Regal years of 1,500 lbs. This would obviously make a top end difference, but I walked by a 26 Baja Outlaw two weekends ago, so I'm happy. It's been a great boat.:thumbsup:

I dont get why it wont run in the 80s. nice wide pad, notch I keep looking but i cant find anyone running those speeds in a velocity with that same superboat/challenger setup.Quote:

But I am looking all over for a post with a Velocity that runs close to those speeds with these engines. I am not opposed to buying one of these boats instead of widening the pad and notching the transom on my challenger.Quote:

Well I can see Intimidators running those speeds with that power, only because I have at the Mulica River Run 2 years ago. But that boat is super, super light and I just wonder how it does in a chop.
A superboat running those speeds with that power, I can't see it.
24 degree V, no real pad. BUT, it's a wave crusher, so maybe if you really break it loose.
Here it is, with a 300X and a Stepp Hull 83-85 MPH. I can't see 90 to 100 unless its a Kevlar Hull Velocity.
I should also mention, I can fit six people in my boat and still plane off with no problem...
great posts, keep it coming.. :thumbsup:
Great boat, lots of room for a 22' boat. Regal years were heavier but more accomodating. Fairly heavy for a 22' boat (1900lbs Regal years) compared to many other 21-22' boats (21' Checkmate Pulsare = 1375lbs). Without a doubt one of the most fun hulls to "fly" on the pad. It's a variable degree dead rise V that turns into a Pad bottom as you travel aft along the keel. Chines are cupped downward and the boat turns on rails. It can handle lots of power; a few guys ran twin outboards and some guys stuffed massive big block power in the I/O version.
Like everyone is saying, the V22 is bigger, heavier. Stepp ones were 1650 lbs, Regal closer to 1900 and the SB 21 is more like 1250 lbs.
Also, the V22 is wider, 7'10" vs 7'6" and longer, 21'8" vs 20'7".
The pad is wider so there is more wetted surface area when running.
And if you look at the attitude of the boat, SBs fly the bow more, it's harder to get the V22 to fly the bow, which means more drag, less efficiency and slower speed.
