Not only were they there to help the OL crew, but went out of their way to help Nortech or any other manufactures states one thing to me . CLASS ACT. The camaraderie, the professionalism not only to offer parts but get right in there and lend a helping hand is to me what makes this sport so great. Excellent job...OL

Re: Sunk 51 OL
After getting to meet these guys (Mike and the CREW) this year, I am seriously looking into an Outerlimits. Oh I didn't say I don't get great service from MTI or that I want to get rid of Superman. I guess I need to get a CC anyway, might as well be an Outerlimits.

Re: Sunk 51 OL
Assuming no water enters the core materials from the inside of the hull (assuming balsa)- I really don't see the big deal.
Drain out the water, drain engines(pull heads if necessary), replace necessary electronics.
Completely fixable.
I know it cost money- but the boat isn't junk.

I agree with you completely. Terry and Trond are great to deal with. I have built several motors for Nortechs and can't wait to do more. They are truly a custom boat builder. Whatever I have needed for the motors, they came through. People who know me, know that I am a huge fan of Nortechs.
The only experience that I have had with Outerlimits was my previous statement. I have never built a motor for them, though I would love to (hint, hint, hint). For them to jump in there and help me like that just amazed me. Eddie
