The boat will ship in a couple weeks and will be Rigging here in Ca. for Season opener March 5th.
The Full Carbon boats they have built run 85 mph with skier in tow. We have to run stock 300xs in F-2 class so no DBR mods are allowed.
I am sure with more setback and taller prop will run in the low 90's.
Infusing Photos. The gelcoat is clear on the hull Exposed Carbon.

Very pretty - How thick is the layup of carbonfiber?

black carbon boats are awesome

is that the fuel cell running along the center?

if so, what is the material making up the fuel cell?

Not sure the total Thickness. The hull has 2 layers of Carbon 1st infusion. I believe 2nd infusion has Mat, Foam Coring and 2 more layers of Carbon. 3rd Bulkheads and Stringers 2 Layers Carbon. They could go much lighter but I wanted it a little over 700 pounds with Fuel and Ballast tanks for our Rough water Races.

Thanks Guys, The Velocity is a original Design from Australia By Race Marine and the plug was done with CNC. Composite Construction does the Lay-ups and they also build for several other larger Race Boats. They send photos weekly.
