I bought the 22' Velocity with a 454 / Bravo 1 from NorCalLmo that was for sale on RDP ( http://www.riverdavesplace.com/forums/showthread.php?145796-22-Velocity-for-sale&p=2345466#post2345466 ). I don't really have any pics because it was raining when I got home and I wanted to get it covered. I will say that NorCalLmo was fantastic to deal with. I couldn't get my storage unit until tomorrow, so she has to sit in the driveway tonight. LOL.

I will try to take some pics tomorrow...and hopefully take it out for a shakedown run. More to come...

Looks great Scott, congrats!:thumbup:

Do you plan on taking it to any DLB runs or big cat?

I plan to take it on DLB Runs....I will have to be the first time leave each stop since I will be the slowest boat. LOL.

Are you going to put some power in it her?

I don't have any plans at this time, but who knows. I am going to run it the way it is for now. I will see how it works out this summer.

It is a good platform to start with. The Stepp Bottom (Steve Stepp) is supposed to be a very efficient hull. The 30' version of this boat was the first offshore v-hull to break 100 mph.

Nice!

Now you can dump the canoe.

Where are you going to store it? Indoor storage?

I may have to move my boat into storage, I have to move into a different house next month and I don't think the boat will fit.

The Canoe will STAY!!! :D

Ultimately, it will go into one of those warehouse indoor storage places. I am putting it in an self storage unit for a month or two, so I can go work on it when I want. I have room to make RV access at the house, but don't know if I want to store it outside.

I'm in Roseville. 30 foot indoor storage is $181.00.
Spaces are by the foot.

Didn't like the guys attitude when I called them.

I have I foldable to tongue on my trailer and he said they don't do foldable tongues. I'm like dude really? all you do is pull the pin and fold it.
My boat is 21 foot with the tongue collapsed and he wants to put me in a 30 foot spot.

Also he says they need 24 hr. notice to get your boat ready (out). What if you decide on Sunday morning you want to take your boat out? then what you can't get your boat?

I told the guy Goodbye. Sounds like a racket to me, I have to think about.
I may not have a choice but to pay for storage. :grumble:

Indoor storage:

There's others places but I haven't called around.
One storage place on Richards Blvd. in Sac wants $250.00 a month! And your boat would be in Downtown Sac.

I keep mine at the one you listed the website for. They tell people they need 24 hours notice but I can usually get mine out within an hour or two.

Good chance we will be seeing at each other at the boat storage. :)

Stupid phone, this was supposed to go on the other tread. Don't know how it ended up here.
