Maybe its just me, but this statement of the boats performance would be better off with a phone call to the company than announcing this publicly. Not very professional!
:(

Whatever happened to the guy that owned that boat, i think his name was Dan Campbell?

Not a Velocity....just another "popped" boat, most likely from a west coast manufacturer. It's not all that easy to build and manufacture a boat. If you don't have the cash to do it properly...

OK, simple question. The Conquest Cats, the Jesse James 35 in particular, has a more "aggressive" entry from the running surface - meaning, it looks more aggressive and/or sleeker in entry design as...

It seems this sport, or whatever it is supposed to be now, is dying a slow death. One by one they are all going away.

Ahhhhhh....very good! I remember the day he first ran that boat (Lake St. Clair) and it was awesome - his kid and I were best buds back then. When he bought that boat he also had a lil' donzi,...

The original factory built "single" engine Magnum 27 was.....

A boat called Screamin Yellow Zonkers, doubt many know this boat, but it ran really well. Guessing it was early 70's. Anybody ever...

Thanks for the update...but in this day, it would be nice to see this project on a blog of some sort. sinking or not, things happen, but publicity and promotion is ONLY a good thing when chasing a...

In the mid to late 70's, most of the 28 Cigs/27 Magnums had only a chicken bar to hold on to with throttle mounts and a 3 man bolster. There was the Flying Machine, probably one of the more popular...

Well, from what T2x indicates, it sounds like this design may have developed from a lot of theory and not modifying proven efforts. That's scary (and expensive). Why is their such a tight lid on...

C'mon, Rich (T2x)...tell us how the O/B going inboard were supposed to work. And curiously, why didn't it? In theory, sounded good. Or did it work and never caught on?

So why no molds? Wouldn't it be easier once you have a design fine tuned to make a mold?:confused:

It is my interpretation that these boats are built to the specific customers demands and all to date have been race boats. I saw some cockpit pictures earlier in the thread, just do research, or...

For those of you wondering about the economy, it's not all doom and gloom, its just that nobody reports the good stuff. Up here in Michigan we just did the Detroit/Cobo Hall show and sold 135 boats;...

I would think that they need to be designed into the running surface and if they are put on as an afterthought, then you create problems

Why would someone purposely put a hook and/or rocker in a...

TRISTAR, thanks for the input, although I would like to hear more about where, how and why these molds came about. It is interesting to know the history and then the realization. I think Pantera is...

Huh? OK, whats the story here? Rework? Are these molds from Mystic? or Pantera?

WOW, awesome! Is this a stretched 36? Staggard or side by side?

Bill, ya are one hell of a guy - when the going gets tough, the tough get going! Chip, start the healing process; talk to someone who can help you through the emotional rollercoaster you are on,...

Going testing!

How in the heck do you upload/post a pic?

Velocity has been around for a long time and the boats are designed and built by Steve Stepp who is an ex-racer. It is later model and performs much better (according to you) with less power. ...

It's amazing how sooooo many people think they know what this guy is going through...what and why he did what he did - With his ego and status, this must be the most humiliating situation possible.

What is the idea behind the Statement hull design?
