Next year come down a couple days early to run around on the lake and hit the fun run on friday as opposed to the poker run. It is a fun lake once you get used to where things are at. The water definitely changes once all the boats stir it up. fiore gave me a ride in the SL44 that was there. The bottom on the SV43/SL44 definitely has a nice ride to it.

Pretty different from the 42 isnt it Gary.

Completely different ride than the 42. Wow was the feeling that I had during and after the ride. Now just set one up with Merc 1350s and a rocket has been born. Mike said he has run that bottom at 174 mph.

The entire lake is filled with HEAVY HARDWARE everywhere you go during the Shootout. It is a an event that I feel would be hard to match up to anywhere else.

Yes we have with more speed to be had.They really are amazing to say the least. Its by far the best vee bottom Ive ever been in and I've pretty much been in them all. A SV43 would be a 160mph boat with the Merc Package and would just be insane.

I gotta get out there next year with the SVX. I think an onslaught of Outerlimits at the shootout is in order!!

Totally agree.

There is NOTHING like LOTO on ShootOut weekend.
If you have a fast boat, or a half-fast boat, or just like fast boats, then it is a 'don't miss' event.

Congrats to BB and the OL team for putting up some very impressive numbers.

Well you know, Desert Storm is just over 6 months away. Seen many a nice OL at that event over the last few years. Mamba and Billet were major hits! Bring em all!

The boat has a few things i have done that I think help it run better.Keep in mind if i had more time my next run would have bin 144 HEADERS a bit small.
