Who is bringin their V22 to the Romp!!!!!
Just got back in from another night run, the boat is about as dialed in as it gets. 78-79 alll night long like she is on rails!
The white Velocity is now owned by Jamesgang. The red one was my pal Steve Franza's. The Hydrostream was my '86 Valero YT. chris
More pics
Hey Chris great pics. I remember all those boats like it was yesterday. I towed the Velocity up to Morgans the other day for some gel work. Going down 202 I passed buy Bobs dad doing yard work. I think he did a triple take as the boat went by.
Chris, great old shots!!Quote:

Kent.......... That boat was from Greenwood Lake NY. Steve raced it a few times in A-class offshore in the early to mid '80's. Most of the time though, he rode as navigator in Werner Kenzil's 21Shadow (Borderline) A-class. The Filipone twins, Mike and Phil, also from Greenwood Lk. ran a Sanger Alleycat (Double Vision) raced during that time period. They're both S&F members, and could tell you more about Steve's Velocity. I have another good pic of that boat upstate framed on my wall. I'll scan it into the puter when I go up again soon! chrisQuote:

Hey Bio, regarding my response to Cutwater's post, One of the Filipone twins was in the 30' Velocity in the pic I posted on your thread. They would know more about THAT boat as well.Quote:

It would get you from zip to 110 in the blink of the eye. Great acceleration. Drink you broke though. Good times.Quote:
