That would look like total $hit. Who cares what cigarette owners like? The Outerlimits is a wider, sleeker boat. The whole point of pushing the envelope is evolving, who wants some boxy iconic look when you can have sleek, aerodynamic lines. The decks wouldn't fit. An OL size for Size will dwarf any similar vee bottom, it's just an all around larger boat.

I'm not discounting cigarette but quit comparing the two, they're not in the same league, you're talking about boats that can't run stable over 110mph versus boats that are stable at 150mph. Two different breeds.

I think Cigarette builds a great boat...

I just prefer Outerlimits, hands down....

When was the last time Cigarette ran in a shoot out? Nuff' Said...

Congrats to Outerlimits, Mike and Joe, for their accomplishments.

What your saying is exactly my point pat, the Outerlimits bottoms are far superior to the cigs, but some people like the square, masculine, hardcore offshore looks of a Cig. So what I'm saying is if OL made a boat like that and called it a 42 Classic. It would pull a lot of Cig guys over to OL. I think from a marketing standpoint it would be a success.

How would it look bad?? It'd look like a cig with Outerlimits performance

It would be wide and angular. The OL's Flare up...versus the side lines. The 50 is more angular than any other boat they've done, That's about as jagged as I think you're going to see...and the 29

I see what your saying. If there were enough people asking OL for such a boat or style, I bet Mike and co. would look into it.

Then in say 10-15 years, you'd hear Johnny Wannabe at the docks say "thats one a dem Outerlimits boats huh" and the news would report " an Outerlimits boat was observed driving way too fast on the lake today".

It would make the offshore world really interesting if Reggie's speed records fell to the likes of an OL PLEASURE boat.....when you look at the speeds of pleasure boats vs. Reggie's Race boat of the day compared to what is being built for the weekend warriors now - well IMHO, the speeds of today are knocking on the back door of a record and more stable

I am a big cigarette fan but you have to give it up to Mike, Joe and the rest of the crew, they go hard with every build and they have raised the bar.
