The OL simply costs more than it is worth. Then once you get it, the non-standard power costs and costs. Engines that last only 60 - 100 hours? Rebuilds that cost 100k? If you gave it to me I would not want to keep it going. Very sexy piece. I'll struggle the 38 I am waiting on or take a 42 with 525's. Oh yes, the 38 with 575's and Super Chillers does 106 in fresh water, looks great and handles pretty much all the snot most people want to see. I voted Fountain and also would take the 400 large.

BTW..That is one of my favorite movies. Actually all of them are.

I voted Outerlimits just on looks alone. Chicks will pay more attention to the bling of an OL anyday!

I voted OL. Look good, perform good. Just a far superior build. The interiors are modern, the rigging top shelf. They are not on every corner, like a Fountain is either.

pole should be.... which would you rather have,for
