Project 27 Velocity 30

[Dunbar 104]

Here we go. Calling this Project 27. Cause I have about that many going on right now. So I thought buying another boat would be a good idea.

To start How it looked as the cover was removed. Next to Black Betty former 6 year project.

Good Luck w/your Velocity. I love mine.
I've not seen an outboard version up close. Looks like a huge cockpit w/out the motor area.

Since it is already rigged for twins the cost effective thing to do would be to find a couple 250's or better.

Cool brochure. I really like the race deck. I am having a hard time dealing with the tall windshield I have.
For power it is going to be twin 2.5 200 efi for a while.

I think it will spank Black Betty. It might like jack plate with a 10 or 12 inch set back. I never tried it but, I bet it will like it. Get the engines tight together [ like 18 inches ]with side mount steering. The front mount set ups won't let you get them very tight[ like 26 inches].

74474 '88 with black Plexi

74475 '85 had a short smoked Plexi like in the brochure

74476 19 inch centers on a 22

[Dunbar 104]

The motors now are on like 28 centers. It is rigged for OMC power now. I have new front mount cylinders so will probable stay with them. I can get to 23" centers

Here is project number 1 Jenni's Mini broke a valve.

You actually put Jenni's project as number 1? I'm impressed......

[Dunbar 104]

Something about 30 mpg vs 15

Weighed the hull 2660lbs with no rigging.

If you're talking about the Cooper vs the boat, it's more like 30 vs 1.5:reddevil:

Car vs truck that we just put an 8" lift and 37" tires. Still got 12 mpg towing, but it is still 100 miles to work and back.

[Dunbar 104]

Mini Cooper is a finished up, with Jenni terrorizing the streets. Now time for more important things, Boats.

Nice new trailer with detachable hitch.

75084Had to re drill the motor mounts that were a 28" on center. I played with the Sea star rams and offset them somewhat. I got the centers down to 20". I did lose some steering range, but should look and performer better.

Being a construction guy, I totally missed the hitch being gone on the first set of pics.....I was too busy thinking about drywall and marking the studs on the floor.:willy_nilly:
