Very good looking boat. What is the top end? One of my all time favorites.

Thanks Keith, selling for a buddy. Can't let the white one go.

I was ready to open the safe and jump in the truck, what a bummer

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
