Cool project.
I've never had it for these bigger boats but they are starting to grow on me.

How much fun is it removing dry plywood core?

I'm the same Pat...I still won't have one any time soon but the bottom of this Velocity looks like the bottom of one of our boats. It's quite interesting...and apparently very fast.

I don't think he enjoyed the plywood/grinding portion of the job.

Great rough water boat. Have you weighed the hull? What top speed are you hoping to achieve with the twin 250's

We haven't weighed the hull and likely won't...it isn't a pig..I was on the end of the winch putting it on the trailer lol. I'm going to say our expectations are 80's....but I wouldn't be surprised if its faster. It won't be the fastest LC...but it'll be for real....eventually lol.

I'm waiting on pictures...there is core in the cockpit now...he's on a mission...

Awesome. I have a fondness for big boats but my reality is no place to store it. So I will admire from afar.

So, how did you guys figure out it is a velocity?

Searching OSO...the transom/pad/stepp/notch are unique to the 30 Velocity....

After having trouble getting the corebond to kick due to colder temps, slightly panicking, this ended up working fine

Hey...most of those motors will be providing fun to the boating public long before you and Jamescole are having wheelie contests...
