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

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
