Sweet :) How do they handle snotty water vs the older 38's? Is there a noticable diff with the full stagger? |

Do you know if they have ever done a 42 poker run with 1075s or the new 1200s? I am thinking that would be the poker run boat to have.

The Outerlimits was mine, Dreamboater is my son. Outerlimits makes a great product, our 37 Quad step was a great rough water boat. It would run 110 mph with 1000 KE's that were staggered. After 110 you would need to use some tab to keep the boat from chine walking. Once you drop the tabs it will scrub off speed. Ted Link now owns it. Go to the Outerlimits forum and read the thead about different prop rotation. A lot of what we experienced with our Outerlimits seems to be the norm for that hull. Our Fountain is smaller not quite as comfortable in rough water. It has run as fast as 114 with 300 hp less per side. The boat is rock solid at those speeds. No tab needed, does not do anything unpredictable.

Isn't that Troy Link? I know Troy had owned the Jack Links 42 lightning with a pair of merc 700's that he recently traded in to Shogren. I heard stuff was breaking all the time on it........

I have drove my 700 hp 38 at 114.8 on the Pamilico. Saw 113 with David Knight on board. 115.00 is very attainable.
