007 what kind of Velocity do you own? Any picks

[007]

I have a 2006 260... i'll try to post a couple pics later

[Velocity Kid]

Here is a pick of the orginal stock dash with the small gauges with the gold trim plates, now im going with all new 2 5/8 gauges with a monster 5 inch tach and gps speedo. Should have update pick in a few days with the new gauges and steering wheel

[northernoffshore]

here was mine check out the back the bottom slids out to gain access better than the over weight stock one.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Velocity Kid, Your 22 looks like a '86. It looks clean and in great shape. I love that boat I remember when it was new. Fun Fun.

When I called Steve Stepp about this boat he said it could have been built in late 86 but the hull ID is a 87. It's a All Kevlar lay up, boat is realy lite. Steve said its realy posible it was one of the last one he aclty did in kevlar. Yes the boat is in realy great condtion I got lucky finding this one

[DKerns]

I am lurking here now too!!

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

This one is an '84 nicknamed Blondie . The pic does no justice to the color.

7877

She had warmed up rear riser 400's and #2's. It went 87mph in 1986. She was something special.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Plenty Cool another sweet ride in the '80's. 78 with 400TRS.

7878

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

My Buddy Ronny bought this boat in '86. Took delivery in May. He drove it home to Annapolis for his honeymoon. I winterized it in December. It had 325 hours on it. A few years later he ran it in Trumps National race as a substitute for Kamakazee's burnt boat. He took third place. I saw guys cry with there hopped up Scarabs at local Chesapeake Challenge races. I'm pretty sure it was undefeated with his 330 TRS. I remember when Ronnie made his final boat payment. It served him well for over 15 years. I could write pages on my experiences in this boat.

Sorry I wrote all this and could not find the pic.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Jacques used to come to get me when we were at the Afterdeck. "Jimmy I'm tired of listening to these guys go race them for me and shut them up". He would send his buddies in the boat with me and with a full boat we would pass the Scarabs with their headers and all with this 30 packing 330 TRS . It was in the late eighties. Back then 70 was respectable.

7879

My friend Lilly sold almost a million dollars of Velocities in '86 or '87. Those were the good old days.

I could tell Velocity stories for hours.

[DKerns]

Jim, we have shared some info on some other sites...... I really like hearing some of your V stories!!!

I would love to get my hands on an older 30 someday!!

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

This 22 pitched her owner once. He had to avoid the boat circling until it ran out of fuel. Fun boat. Just always wear a kill tether.

I am pretty partial to my lanyard and vest!!!

[Velocity Kid]

Final have my new headers done. This was my first set I ever built, wasn't to bad. Big difference in performance. These pics are when I just got done clearancing the hatch for the headers to clear

[Velocity Kid]

My new Gauges. Im making up a stainless steel cup holder for were the compass used to go

What power? I have been kicking around looking into a 260/24ft with small block power in it!!

[007]

Mine is a 375 hp 496.... only 80 hours (if not less).... I don't think i've seen any with a small block... would be cool though....

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

My guess is the SB he plans will run nice. In the old days when the BB was first available I ran both. The SB flew nicer in the rough.

600 HP SB out of my 22. Just kicking it around for now. Want something with running power if I do it so I can swap the power from boat to boat.

My motor is comeing out of the boat this week, Time for a repower. The engine has almost 4 years of hard running on it. Looking forward to the new power plant.

Sting Ray?

I guess a 89?

:sifone::dupe:

I agree with Mobilemercman 88-89 30 Velocity!! I WILL have a 30 someday!!! (I Hope)

[Velocity Kid]

That 30 does it have twins or is it a single

[DKerns]

That one has twins.........Don't know of any 30's with a single.......

[Coolerman]

We used to have a 26'. First motor was a 572cid, big cheifs, and a tunnel ram. Made 800hp+ and if you could keep it pointed, would slam into the rev limiter at 100mph pretty hard. Later, we put a 454 in it, made 550hp, and ran real nicely into the mid 80's. Steve makes some really cool boats.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

That one has twins.........Don't know of any 30's with a single.......

There are only a few race boatswith singles. Puerto Rico had a class it did well in years ago.

[Underdog88]

Mines an 89 w/454s Merlin heads, Edelbrocks, IMCO shortys.
It's been a great boat for 3yrs now. I have the motors out now to port match intake/exhaust and some head work/valve job.

Runs mid 70s w/load anywhere. Looking for 80 this spring.

Thanks, nice site.

Very Cool!!

[Velocity Kid]

Sweet thanks for the brochure picks

[Revd Up]

What engine set up is that? It's very nice and clean

It's a 502. I Had Tyler Crockett do some work to it. Brodix heads, CMI exhaust, Holley Fuel Injection intake, different cam, and reprogram the ECU. Dyno'd at 569 HP, so it's problably pretty close to a Merc. 525 .( They usually dyno at 540-565hp)
I've run it for 2 years now with no problems. I have run it hard, many times, in some pretty rough water and feel pretty comfortable with the set up. Figure I'll run it for another year and then maybe have him bump it up a bit more. I can't wait! :biggrinjester:

That appears to be a newer 260 (24ft)???......... What kind of numbers are you seeing out of it with that power. I had a friend with pretty much the same setup in a 280 that would run 86+ GPS. Sweet setup you have there!!:sifone:

[Revd Up]

Thanks, it's a 2005 260 (24ft) It usually runs between 82.5 to 84.3 depending on conditions in fresh water. Probably a little faster in salt water.

[Underdog88]

Underdog, looks like the dog likes going fast!! Brave Dog!! (Third Pic)

She'd ride up there all the time if I let her. That day we had the lake to ourselves and was like glass. She jumps up as soon as we come off plane. When we come out of NWZs and she hears me fire up #2 motor she climbs down to this.

Thanks DKerns, she is a blast to drive.

[Velocity Kid]

Here is my 22' with a 496 HO.How fast on GPS?

[Revd Up]

Thanks DKerns, she is a blast to drive.

I think all the Velocitys are a blast to drive, Definately a drivers boat. Makes you a better driver. I wouldn't have it any other way. Who wants to sleep at the wheel?

[hessdk]

With a labbed 30" Bravo she runs about 82-83 MPH. BBlades is tweaking a 28" Maximus for me. I am looking for a much better hole shot and a higher cruise speed. I may lose a little on top, but Brett is going to aim for the same top speed.

[Gordo]

I'm with "Revd Up."I used to own a 1988 23' Velocity(Regal) w/ 454-Alpha.
Was a fast boat. Then I added a 200HP NOX "Pro-Shot. It was my first "chine-walk" experience. I learned alot in that boat, (and lived to tell about it). Years later I started racing APBA and was hired to drive the 41' Velocity, "CGS Ferocious". Fast boat, but what a handfull. I believe my Velocity made me a better driver, but the rough ride probably caused spinal damage.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

You didn't blow the Alpha up with the Nitrous??

I've seen Nitrous pull the threads out of the outdrive bellhousing. The GPS would read 68,69,70 push button, 79, 80, 81 on a 22 BB alpha

[Gordo]

..."The GPS would read 68,69,70 push button, 79, 80, 81..."

<laughing> You've been there!
Almost exactly how mine ran.
To answer Velocity Kid, Actually, the engine let go before the drive did.
A saying all engine builders know well, LEAN IS MEAN but not for long!

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

LEAN IS MEAN but not for long!

Yea, like 4 or 5 seconds maybe:sifone:

[Griswald]

Too lean, too long......too bad!

has been my personal favorite.

[Velocity Kid]

Yea nitorus is a fickle thing on a boat but not imposible to run

There is no hiding the lunge as you hit the button

[Gordo]

Ozarks Shootout years ago

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Tailwalking is fun. not very fast though

[Gordo]

There is a certain spot on the course that is right in front of a cove, that always has a "hole" that is well known by anyone who has ever ran the Shootout. It is just before the radar guns, where you are at top speed and trimmed to that "inth" degree. then you hit the hole. No coincidence that the local photographer is always set in the same spot every year.

[Velocity Kid]

After 4 years of testing and beating on the orginal shorten Alpha with little over 640 hp, and a few hard nitrous passes, and lending it to differnt people so they could try it. I final had a upper gear failure. A part of the gear tooth broke off and took ever thing else out. Over the winter I came up with some new stuff for the upper and lower that should increase strength by 25%. Im going to up the HP this year to over 700 hp to see if it will handle it. Should be interesting.

[Bodyshot1]

ours in better days...

[DKerns]

When is that thing going to be back together??

[mikey]

Here are some pics of my old 22. It was known as the Joker back in the day. Mobilemercman would have a lot of info on this boat. He was the guy who rigged it. The boat lives in the Bahamas and was for sale on OSO but have not seen it for a while. This boat was awesome and took everything I put in thru and then some.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I would love to have it. That will always be on my funnest boat list. If I could get a hold of it now I would put Lathams power steering in it.

When it was new in the late 80's 80mph was fast. That little boat surprised many people as it went past them in the bay.


Ohhhhhh, the good old days.



I could tell stories for hours about that boat..... Relax...

[mikey]

And I have wanted to hear those stories. In Lake Cumberland you will have to tell me a few.

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Mobilemercman would have a lot of info on this boat. He was the guy who rigged it.


I glassed bulkheads in, foamed and glassed the 80 fuel tank in and rigged it so I could not break it.

Thanks Mikey

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I get in late Thursday and leave Monday. We will have to get together over some Tequila. I plan on bringing my own bottle. Since it is a dry county there.

I can't wait it should be a blast . Weknd long dock party. We will be staying in a Houseboat. Who about you?

[Bodyshot1]

as soon as we find an extra 20k laying around...Vin works on it, on occasion, but the further he gets into it, the more sh*t he finds..it'll be completely new by the time it's done.:beatdeadhorse5:

It should be a great time. I have been talking to Brandon and it sounds like the housboats are going to be great. The team is also staying on one so we might be neighbors. I guess for this trip I might have to check a bag for just drinks.

[Velocity Kid]

DKerns sorry to hear about your 406 blowing up. That deal was brand new no time on it. I still have those new ported vortech heads if your interested, you can put those on that 350 short block and intake I sold you.

No worries the check is in the mail.I'll stand behind what I sell.:lurk5:

[Velocity Kid]

No worries the check is in the mail.I'll stand behind what I sell.:lurk5: It's a shame it even had to get to that point. Theres that old saying: You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. He's lucky he didn't put a rod threw the bottom of the boat.

[Velocity Kid]

Looks like I will be down for a while. I bought 2 go pro cameras and mounted them on the back of the transom and watched some things going on that I want to change. So now im in the process of changing my transom assembly around reinventing it so to speak. When I'm done I will post picks. Should be worth a few more MPH. If anything it will be a cleaner look

[RumRunner]

Dwayne,

How's the move looking? Lake actually has some water in it now :)

[DKerns]

Dwayne,

How's the move looking? Lake actually has some water in it now :)


Doug,

The move is looking good!! In the final negotiations on the house. The movers gave us a date today. We will be flying down to make settlement on the 19th of June. We will be back down there on the 21st and will have our stuff there the 22nd. (If you can follow that!!)

The motor is done (with some minor changes) and I am just waiting on some odds and ends. I have surgery on Thursday, so it will be a week or two until I get it together and in the boat (I hope). I plan to have it up and running before the move so it should be ready to go when we get there.

I will be in touch soon!!!

Dwayne

[Velocity Kid]

I'm testing a new gear ratio with a Fat shaft in my Alpha this weekend. I don't have the new transom assembly done yet but its close. Should be interesting

[Velocity Kid]

I'm testing a new gear ratio with a Fat shaft in my Alpha this weekend. I don't have the new transom assembly done yet but its close. Should be interesting I just got back from testing and a big differnece in rpm and speed. I did back to back test switching out lower foots one with the fat shaft and one with out. They both have the same gear ratios both set up identical. The fat shaft went faster and had more rpms. Now Im wondering how bad im flexing the stock shaft?

[Bobcat]

:seeya:

[Velocity Kid]

LOL :rofl:

[OneBadInjun]

Velocity Kid, Mercruiser has already done all the testing for you decades ago. The end result is called the: Bravo One outdrive.

[Velocity Kid]

Velocity Kid, Mercruiser has already done all the testing for you decades ago. The end result is called the: Bravo One outdrive. Hmmm every time I bolt a Bravo up to my boat I go 10 mph slower. Maybe it just has to do with aplacation and the fact the bravo weighs more and takes more HP to turn it and has more drag threw the water.

[Velocity Kid]

does anybody who has the fastest 22 I/O velocity and how fast is it?

[Velocity Kid]

I had my I/O Velocity running today. It's a awesome boat. There this mircro boat thread on another web site that I read for entertainment. I think it would be great to all get together like we do here on scream and fly and have a micro boat fun run. There doing a great job running as fast as 88 mph with big cubic inch small blocks in tiny 18 foot boats on race gas. The ole Tripple Digits would come out of retirement with it's new pump gas 406 small block and run. I would even bring my Velocity out and do some exhibition runs with it. I would sponsor a Micro boat get togther here in NJ supply food and drink and set it all up and have a great weekend of boating. Also my new business RLC Boats is having the Alpha 100 mph club. Im getting all the details worked out along with other sponors and should be done soon. We will do a real radar shoot and see who is realy running as fast as they say. Any Scream and flyers don't know what a micro boat is, it's a 24 or less foot I/O boat.

[OneBadInjun]

one call to steve stepp will inform you of what you want to learn about running fast in a 22 Velocity with a small block. Steve, Gene Whipp, and dozens of others back in the 80's(and 90's) already learned the do's and don'ts. Velocity worked closely with an engine builder called Hercules Engines out of Daytona,(and a few other hi horsepower small block builders) that was a 22 Velocity engine option way back then. He can tell you the best sterndrive to go with as well.

[DKerns]

OneBadInjun, you are correct, Steve Stepp is very informative and very helpful in setting up his products. They had some 100 mph 22's in the early 90's with the Hercules packages!!

I'm trying to figure were am at and if im off the pace with the fastest 22 or im way head.

[DKerns]

There is a 22 in Pa. that runs on the Susq. river that is in the one teens.........at least from what I hear!!! But its not a 22 foot, small block, pump gas, alpha boat!! No matter what, there is always something faster!! I am sure there are people out there that have fast stuff and don't touch a computer or surf the web!!!

Does anybody know this guy? I would love to see that run. Theres another rumor a guy in SC running a 22 velocity suposedly going 116 mph. Im just trying to put all the rumors to rest and know what the real deal is. I'm looking for somthing faster, Im looking for 22 foot velocitys that are fast.

[DKerns]

Why?? Whats yours run?? The one in Pa. is a supercharged 468.

Should start a new thread asking for info!!! Here and OSO!!

[ThruHull]

I just read an article last month in performance boat magazine about a project Tyler crockett did on a 22 Velocity that was supposed to be at a 100, not sure what the final result was.

[Velocity Kid]

Why?? Whats yours run?? The one in Pa. is a supercharged 468.

Single carb pump gas small block. I have more left in it and more changes to do. I like to find these guys for 2 reason, put the legends to rest and you always learn somthing from these guy with realy fast boats. I'm always looking to learn and I can never get enough info.

I just read an article last month in performance boat magazine about a project Tyler crockett did on a 22 Velocity that was supposed to be at a 100, not sure what the final result was.Cool do you know what it had for power?

[DKerns]

VK, I have the Hercules Video here. You should try to find a copy. Do you have any documentation of your runs........GPS (not the 120 glitch pic), Video, Radar runs............etc. etc.????

What size prop are you running with your new setup??

[ThruHull]

Cool do you know what it had for power?

Not right off the top of my head, but I will see if I still have the mag. I know they lowered the engine to get the center of gravity down and were running a shorty.

I have a few videos one of me racing a 100 + mph stv some fly byes. I'm sponsoring a micro boat shoot out this year so we will see how fast people are running. Im bringing out the Velocity and the Sting Ray. I would have loved to met up with you with the Sting Ray but your engine broke then the move. No biggie. Im sure by next year I will be down your way we will hook up for some fun runing

[22 velocity]

I owned this 22' Blue and white Velocity for 20 years from 1986 to 2006. I sold it to a guy in Tampa Fla and now the boat is in the Virgin Islands. The boat was a 1985. It started out with a 3.4 300 hp merc then I added a 3.4 EFI powerhead and finally in 1999 a promax300. Through years of tweaking,tuning, props and setup, I was able to get it from 66mph when I bought it to 84mph,when I sold it. It truly was a drivers boat. Frank

[JERSEY DEVIL]

Hey Guys,
I scanned an old 1985 brochure some of you might get a kick out of it.

Welcome Wet_rat. Someone will get a deal on this one. How many hrs has it got on it. I hope yours sells before I put mine up. I can't come close to what your asking.

[Underdog88]

[Underdog88]

We like Lake Norman and Charleston SC for boating(so far) always ready for new water. You go to Kerr Lake?

[wet_rat]

No visits to Kerr, just opt to go to LKN where there's bars and more go fast boats

[Revd Up]

How bout this one???? :driving:

Wow, that is huge air. Nice boat V.V.

[Velocity Vector]

Thanks Reved UP I hurt for 5 days after that one.

I got a purdy 2007 15000# cap. aluminum Myco custom fitted for a 320 Velocity for sale. I 'll most likely keep the tool boxes but all else goes /twin spares/surge disc on two axels/drive guard/ladder. Just got 18.7K invested in it looking for 14K OBO or trade for a 320 Velocity trailer of lesser value and lots of cash.

[Velocity Kid]

My 22 Velocity is coming apart this winter and getting re-done with new power and a new Alpha drive set up. It will debut it in spring 2011. I'm going to bring it around the country to different places and shows and races to show off the new drive system and the speeds it runs. I can't wait to show up to some local lakes and rivers were some of these micro boats make some outlandish speeds claims and see there eyes get real big when I show up. Should be fun. Will post pics of all the updates. Everything will be recorded and documented

[Bobcat]

looking forward to the pics and story.

[Chummy]

What kind of power is going in it now?

[Velocity Kid]

What kind of power is going in it now?Another small block chevy, less cubes and more HP still on pump gas. Steve Schimdt is building the motor, he has a new combo he came up with 412 cubic inches 730hp on pump gas. But when its time to finalize the engine combo he could have somthing even better. Just have to play it by ear.

[502/525hp]
