Other Veles, UL-19 or any 3831 equipped boat notables
Since I am a big fan of the Dynamite 3831 motor I have created an addition to this thread below I have added some other notable speeds that I have found on the forums from a Veles 29 and or a 3831 equipped boat such as its predecessor Miss Geico 29 or Black Jack 29. I didn't add any Zelos 36 speeds with 3831's since there is already is a Zelos fast list that covers them already. If anyone wants to be added please post and let me know your numbers. Thanks and I hope this reference list helps someone down the road with their setup.
Other speed reporting's from a "stock" Veles 29, UL-19 or any "other" 3831 equipped boat if anyone is interested. I'm not saying that I recommend all of these props but just wanted to pass some info.

Veles touch up paint option.
For anyone looking for touch up paint for the Veles I have found a combination that looks decent. It's not an exact match but close enough for me. I mixed some Testors Sublime green with Gloss Bright lime and It blends in and matches where I have to really look for the spot in order to find it, so I am ok with it until something better is found. I believe this could be made an exact match if one wanted to keep mixing until you mixed the exact shade. In the below picture with me holding the two bottles together you can see the spot that I touched up with it.
