[Chris]

Yes- looks Navy to me.

[MacGyver]

Look at all the tie-down holes in the trailer frame.

[TEAMBAJA]

Did Velocity ever do anything for the Navy?

[Jassman]

looks like that boat that they did an article (PowerBoat Mag) on a retro re-do...was for sale for 99k..

Only the Gov't could find it economically justifiable to put a trailer on a trailer.

Could be worse, the tow rig for the boat could be on the trailer too :26:

I cant access ebay at work, go to ebay motors.... boats and type navy, there are a couple listed. one claims to have been built by fountain, butt doesnt have a beak/swimplatform or anything else fountain looking about it.

[Chris]

They're taking it to an Air Force base and driving the whole thing onto a C5B and flying it at about $40K an hour.

I don't believe Velocity ever did any Navy projects. Fountain did some but mostly they're built by commercial watercraft construction concerns- not pleasureboat manufacturers.

where is declassified... and is it for sale?

[phragle]

see the beige spots on the side?? if you look at the govt surplus auction site, when those come up for sale, the military has to render them 'inoperable' first. they do that by first striping the boat, then they poke lots of holes in the side with a forklift. doesn't do much for structural integrity....

They used to swiss-cheese them with a .50. Kind of expensive compared to the forklift.

[Hollowpoint]

Yes, NAVY.
We see stuff like that on occassion around here. Over the years, I think they have used many hulls and engine configurations (I've even seen some with 3 and 4 outboards), and most of the time, it's hard to tell what kind of boat, unless you strictly look from the rubrail down.

Funny you noted the forklift deal. The boat I saw had wavy sides and it looked like somebody had filled the side w/ glass and bondo.
