22" Velocity outboards

Both seats are great ideas! Nice work, guys. Now I'm gonna have to do some tinkering this winter on mine!

Will a stock 250 efi with bobs lwp get a 22 velocity into the 80's? Thanks Mike

I think not !!!

BIGNICK's Velocity with a 300 Promax runs 84mph

There is a Velocity 22 for sale in the Maryland area currently if anyone is buying.

And his is a Stepp hull, but with the newer deck. Wonder what it weighs, dry hull only, compared to the other data I found...

Does anyone know what a stepp built 22 weighs completely unrigged? no interior etc...

High Velocity - great idea on the custom-fabbed rear bench.

I converted my stock rear bench to be able to stow some gear. The seat itself was actually built separate from the base, but screwed on from beneath at the factory. I separated the two parts, cut an access, cut away a protion of the middle support, painted everything white, screwed on a piano hinge and fabbed a strap handle. Now the bench does more than just tilt forward to expose the bilge. I can actually store a few things under the seat. It works well.

I had to build a new seat for my boat and did the same thing!! It is much better with some extra storage!!
Seat , Base, Both upholstered. Now I just need to paint it white like you did!! Gives it that "finished" look!!

thanks tom. your the man

What's that seat weighing in at??? It looks pretty light. My old one was heavy, I used 3/4 plywood and resined it to seal it. It was very heavy.

A few posts late here but I do believe Amityray is not running a low water pickup so with the right lower and prop set up he should see mid 80's i would think?

As far as the lower unit goes I'm running a torquemaster without the low water pickups. Why....because they're not needed. You're going to find that the prop needs to be run 3-4 inches below the pad to get any kind of bow lift. And a sportmaster is about 4-5 mph slower when buried that deep. It has much more surface area being dragged through the water and drives the slip factor way up. I'll give you a perfect example. My setup has a 300pm with 12 inches of setback and its a regal velocity. I ran a best of 79.6gps. That was at 6200rpms. My buddy has a stepp velocity with a 300x and the same setback and prop. He spins his up to 6700prms, the result is the EXACT same speed. The only difference is he's running a sportmaster. His setup should run 4-5 mph faster but he doesn't. Its all in where you run it in relationship to the pad. And if he raises it to take advantage of the sportmaster design he loses most bowlift and alot of speed. You have to realize that these are heavy boats, they are NOT Progressions or Superboats and you will never see much higher then the very low 80's unless its a lightweight or has alot of horsepower. (Like alot more then a 300X).

I agree, I wish I could run mine a inch lower than I have it now but I am not going to drill new holes in the transom to do it. The prop I run has a pretty good cup and that helps make up the difference a bit.

Hey Ray, what prop are you running on the TM?
