thats like asking why is Jimmie Johnson faster than Dale Earnhardt.

looks like the 41 ran 115 as JD stated and link below. That’s a full 10mph faster with a cabin. Like I said hp for hp..I still think OL has a faster Bottom. Not really trying to start a war. Going on the numbers.

Outerlimits SL 41 Hits 115 MPH On Mercury Racing 700 Power
Are those stock Merc 700's in that OL...? Last time I checked Merc says the max RPM is 5200...

no it’s not the kilo boat. It’s a brand new race boat that I believe debuted last year in KW

At the end of the day weight is weight. Says the OL is 9,300 lbs dry. I’m curious to what a 42 Lighting and a 42 Fountain weigh. Anyone know?

Both of Vinnies OLs have been very nice. Can’t wait to see what’he builds next.

Years ago shogen posted they were in the 12k range I think with number six drives. Crazy how light OL's are prettty cool.
