    I've got an 89

    Its a Regal Velocity but it runs just as fast as the Stepp Velocities. I'm the origional owner, I've had it for 16 years its still a solid ride after all this time.

    1990

    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.

    Mike,
    I would think 70-75MPH.My 1988 Regal Velocity runs 65-70MPH with a slightly modified 2.4 200.I actually like the cuddy on the Regal Velocity;but I am sure it makes the boat slower than a Stepp Velocity.

    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.
    Is the Linder hull that much faster?

    Well my Challenger will run 80 soon but here's the thing. You can read on this site about lots of superboats, intimidators and shadows going 90-100 with 250, 300pm and 300x's. 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.

    vnemous the reality is that a 22' Velocity is quite a bit bigger boat than a 21' challenger so it isn't quite as fast with the same power

    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 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.
