In 1978, Steve Stepp created the Velocity with the world’s first offshore pad bottom hull and Stepp transom. This design allows a boat to plane quicker, reach higher top speeds, and turn sharper than conventionally designed boats. As evidence of the remarkable innovation of the Stepp design, every major race and pleasure boat manufacturer is now using some part of Steve’s original design. Stepp has improved on his original innovation, and todays Velocity’s use a modified design that continues to make them the most advanced on the market. A base model Velocity runs 10% faster and gets 10% better gas mileage than similar boats produced by the competition.

The most demanding and grueling test center in the world is the offshore racing circuit. There simply is no better place to test a boat’s speed, handling, endurance, construction, and rough water capability than in offshore racing conditions. Any vessel that has not been through this is just a boat that floats. At Initial Marine Corp., every model is designed, tested, and re-tested on the race course to achieve maximum performance and safety.

Consequently, the model you purchase will perform effortlessly throughout the entire range of speeds and water conditions with maximum comfort. Velocity is the world record holder of E & F1 class, outrunning the step or ventilated bottom boats with the same horsepower.

Purchasing a competitor’s boat will leave the buyer with two options: either second best or spend more money on more horsepower and options to get the same speed. When it comes time to purchase a new boat compare the competition to Velocity. You will find there really is no comparison, and if you are ready for the top performing boat on the market, you are ready for a Velocity. back to top
