Thank you!

Maybe I should bring a mahogany runabout to the Romp too

Highvelocity- I would strip my boat down for the romp, but tehre is nothing in it I can take out

If we can all make the Romp it should be a good weekend, I am planning friday-monday, Hell i'll tow the boat up with the Mack so I can pick up a load of steel on my way home if i have too

Whys everbody gunning for me Im driving around in a 34 year old boat that weighs a ton with a 12 year old fishing motor. Looks like the back and passenger seats are gonna stay home and Im gonna have to loose 100 lbs before June. Back to the gym

Micky Just in case I have access to a 22 Velocity O/B hull if I need it

LOL Mike I know, your boat is like a shell with a big motor...LOL

HAHAHA I had a choice to make when I was building the boat. Make a custom back seat and have Don Frost cover it to match my front seats, or buy a nice brand new leftover motor, I think I made the right choice!!!

Vnemous- I am not gunning for you, but your boat is running speeds the I have to strive very hard to match, and the boats should be very close by the time the romp comes around. I know your going to put a wooping on me, but I will have a ton of fun driving the hell out of mine to keep up

I am by far not the fastest Challenger around. I bet if the water is just right (not to ruff) you will pull me with that 12" pad. But I would really like to know which hull would be better in some 2' stuff

PS the secret to my speed is my light weight cowl

[mikeylarge]

I definately agree, It is all in that cowl!!!!!!!!!! To run in some 2' stuff I need my dad in the passenger seat and almost a full tank of fuel to keep this thing planted, then I can keep my foot in it

[vnemous]

I need to be light and on top of it

Hello all Velocity freaks.

I am from Sweden and a while ago (2 months) I bought a Velocity 22 here on ScremandFly. The boat was a Steve Step Kevlar from 1994 equipped with a 300x.

The boat is in very good condition and I am very happy to have here in Sweden.

The first thing I did was to sell the 300X and bought a brand new 300XS.

Now I am asking for som advice.

1. I have read somewhere that a Torgue Master fits the Velocity step hull better than the Sport Master. What is your opinion about this? What will I go for TM or SM?
2. Which ratio should I go for? 1:62 or 1:75?

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Regards Patrik.

Soonest possible I let you see some pics.

Tistronskar- I am sorry I do not have any experience with the setup's that you are referring to otherwise I would try to help you out. A few of the other guys hsould have some good input for you

Highvelocity- THe lightweight might help my speed numbers but I think this is the key to my boats performance

I just browsed through this thread once again and I remember reading how doubtful it is that a v22 could make it in teh 80's with a stock 250 3.0 merc and a sports master case. I am striving to get myselft into the 80's with a stock 225 merc and a fleetmaster case Just to prove a point!!! only 3.2 mph to go and I am there.... I bet if i take my pops out of the boat and run it low on fuel that would be 1/2 the battle to achieving those numbers!!
