Vicious22 your 22 outboard was on my short list when it was for sale. Clean rig!! Beautiful boat.! What kind of power were you getting out of those v-8s' and what speeds? I have just 10 hrs. on my 280s' and turning 14.5x26 machs? at 7000 so far. I haven't gps'd yet,but will have # soon. I am going to try some 26 bravo's next. Any prop suggestions will be appreciated.
I ran a mazco RE4 14 1/4 x 28. 2 guys 1/2 a tank of gas 1' chop running high and loose It would spin 8000rpms. the speedo pick pull out of the water at about 93/95 mph. It idled at about 1200.....a tad bit high strung for the family.

I know your boat It was owned by a friend of mine here on the upper Chesapeake bay. If I remember right it didn't like bravos....but give em a try.
Pricy but the Mazco RE4's are great blades. Good luck

Thanks for the info Vicious. Did you or your friend who owned my boat set the feet to turn in? I was wondering how it would effect speed and docking. I have read that out for better handling around docks and in for speed. Just wondering if anyone had experimented with the 26' hull and had any info. Thanks Bob.

That's a 41' Velocity without the swim platform (flat transom). Last I knew he was running a couple a 550 or 600 HP 502's. Sounds like he's worn them out and they are getting updated.

my '87 22' . yamaha powered. the back seat was really heavy and one piece, you had to remove it to gain access to the batteries. I made this set up for convience to the back, it also took off a ton of weight. The back transom area was weak from regal so I put some reinforcement back there too.
