I enjoy seeing other V's on the ocean around Belmar to the Highlands area.

Step-Up said hello at the dock, which led to a friendship and fishing swapping intell.

My opinion, Wellcraft could have done things a little differently here and there to better build effect, but it's good.

Redneck, I get it. It's really not about how fast, but I do find it a fun discussion point.
These V's aren't speed boats, but like a " sleeper car" that has enhanced engine, it's entertaining. Is it Destroyer or other that ran a CC V to 60mph +. Wow that's flying for these boats. My sweet spot running the ocean is 3,000 rpm rough 3,500 chop, 4,000 flat seas. It is fun to know we can push 50mph ........and if the V21 was rated for 225 or 250 I would have looked for that vs the nice used 200 HO I run now.

Totally agree with you been just over 50 mph in my V21 it handled it just fine but felt like the end of the line for the Welcaft ride we all appreciate. I wish I had artistic talents I'd draw up a "Cartoon comic" style version of a bunch of tricked out Vs playing in some bay.

Red - I lose track of who's who on this site.... you the guy who fishes salmon and saw 53 mph ?
Running a big prop, around 21" and have the motor shimmed ?

Yeh, if the V21 was rated up to 250hp, I would have checked into finding a used 250 assuming the weight comparable.

When I compared them to muscle cars I didn't mean cause of the speed I meant they are beautiful hulls that never go out of style Is like a 67 gto not he fastest in the bunch but the nicest The wellcraft is not the biggest fastest But it's the nicest for sure Even buy today's standards , I went to the boat show last year in raritan center and was on new boats and I still like mine better 1978 now if I could just get the steering good That's another site

Personally I like the 65 GTO.
