i love my 22 velocity .. great boat
Attachment 324297Attachment 324298
Yea it runs well. Mid 70s. I have a new prop coming for it see how it does come race day
Think 11" of set back is ok on a 22' .. I have a 7" bracket and a 4" jack plate I want to run .. Putting in a floor and transom and rebuilding the boat now and would like some one who knows whats best on this... thanks

Attachment 356236I had to do the same. Good luck!
how much worse in the rough will it run..?? should i just use the jack plate which is about 4"... i will probably end up running a 2.5 but could end up with a 3.0 litre eventually ......I would like to eliminate the well on the transom and make that a flat piece and can do it with the bracket . my last 22 only went 62-64 mph with a 4 or 5" jack plate so it handled pretty good for all around.pics are my 1st 1..Quote:

Of course you can be too high so you have to find the sweet spot but that made a huge difference for me. Boat handled the sh*t when it was 2-3" bellow the pad. Now I'm about 3/4" above the pad and the boat almost drives it self. Best I've seen was 86mph 10gallons of fuel and by myself. It's an 80mph boat all day.
also .. who runs trim tabs on their boats ... are k planes overkill and not really needed.....????
...Very, very few 22's came from the factory with tabs. Steve Stepp will also tell you, they are not needed.Quote:
