Fountain & Velocity Pad Bottom Question

[Racerguymiami]

Anyone know off hand the width & deadrise angle of both the Fountain and Velocity

 

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

Which boats specifically? In general the Velocity pads a flatter and most models are different. The Fountains pads are closer to the actual deadrise and similar on most models.

Looking for the pad width & deadrise

 

[old377guy]

seem to recall pad on the Garbrecht Excalibur (Executioner) was 12 degrees

 

[Bobcat]

VR1 23 degrees on the 2002 model

All I have on hand is a 38 fountain 22 degrees.

Thanks guys, got under a Fountain today. V Pad was 16 in with a 22 degree deadrise.

Whould not know that I doubt it!33' Fountain is late model boat the old ones had no step!Velocitys are fast I pefer Fountains:willy_nilly::USA:

Velocity was around before fountain. Velocity was actually the first offshore-vee over 100mph. The velocitys are over-grown allisons, whereas the earlier fountains are less so. The 2 hulls are not the same.....

We had a 26 velocity for a while. Steve Stepp is cool guy and I like his concept. But.... I'll take a late model 42 Lightning over any vee-bottom, any day of the week. Those things just run......

For sure. They both have pads, notches, and are V's but, aside from those words they have nothing in common.
