Trent

Anyone know the story on the name choice ?

Certainly, It doesn't belong to famed
rapper Canye West ?:rolleyes: :D :D

spend some time around pokerruns and the name comes into play.. it was done as a joke... the owner is married with 2 kids and his wife finds it as funny as we all do.. shes kinda one of the boys!!:D

here are some photo's to add

Nothing aganst you and your rig ,But why did you haul it when they have that new matching semi to haul it? By the way lucky you.

were does the exhaust vent out?

i dont think they are dumb now do you ?:evilb:

I'll go out on a limb here....

There is no Vee Bottom catching this Cat...... :evilb:

That cat from OL is sick. Best boat at the show just from looking at pics, so can't make any final judgements. So what Vee's did OL have at the show?

I know for a fact he is not the owner....:cool:

I think the vee line up was a 51GTX, 51 sportyacht, 47GTX (in the water), and a 46. I can tell you if i'm right on Sunday!!

I towed the trailer from the trailer mfg to outerlimits and helped put it on the trailer for miami, then Bills new Pete pulled it down and I brought a 46 limited to miami for the poker run.

Holy Crap that this is awesome, it looks like Outerlimits has raised the bar once again.

Bad azz.....cant wait to see it this summer.

The whole line up for the show is explained here: Outerlimits Show Boats


If you can get passed the 1st photo, just scroll down to the article. :drink:

I have some questions for those who looked at the ol CAT.

1. OInly 3 steps?
2. Aluminum rams on the rudder not stainless?
3. Enclosed Cockpit with no escape hatch? 6 people seating with no escape?
4. Cockpit inner liner? All the water runs to the rear of the boat. How do you get the water out from underneath the inner liner?
5. 1800hp turbo motors in a pleasure boat? Is that a 2 hr motor?

I have more questions..

I for one have not seen the boat in person since it was up at the factory upside down.

But first, let's remove the word Liner because obviously you have the impression that it is a floating floor typically found on a center console which I can assure it is not.

I am not sure how many details Mike wants let out about the build on his boat just yet...

So to keep it simple, it is 1 solid piece of lamination on the hull, and it is one hell of piece of artwork that just looks great inside and out !


1. Only 3 steps?
Red is a tough color to view, but so far I think I counted about 8 steps. You may only be looking at the 2 ventilated ones that reach out to the sides...
If the photo I see is correct, it has a whole lot going on under there just like Mazzo's Vee

3. Enclosed Cockpit with no escape hatch?
There are two very large hatches on the top.
This is a pleasure boat and has a center console down the center of the 2 front seats.
There simply would be no room to get to a tunnel hatch on the bottom of the hull, let alone try to get 6 people through it...
My gut feeling is Mike has the canopy designed to take the impact to the point that if it were to be upside down, no water would be getting in.
The Lavey people seem to have done a great job with theirs when they dumped their Vee hull in Destin.
When the divers arrived they actually asked them to give them a few minutes to collect themselves. The Divers didn't realize that the canopy had no water in it..... :eek:

The two hatches are gasketed and dog down mighty tigh, maybe thats why no escape hatch. Considering the entire canopy was fabbed from one sheet of carbon fiber I would "assume" it is mighty strong...

I met Bill Pyburn at the OL booth yesterday and he said that he has not tested the boat and didn't allude to Mike testing the boat yet either. He also told me that the power is producing over 1800 HP per side. He may do the Miami Boat Show run with it next week if they can get it tested, dialed in, and ready and he will defiantly be at the Sarasota run at the end of March beginning of April.

I think Sharkey has all the pictures that were posted on Boatfreaks.Org. If not, you need to go there and look at the total build which will show you the entire design of the boat. Those should explain some if not all of your questions.

Its not a Turbo:D

1. Michel peters did the design work on it,, it is one of his bottoms do a search on tencra,callen,spirit of Norway,victory,platinum, and see how many wins.
2. its stainless
3.there is a escape hatch in the tunnel the carpets covers it up... and taken out before the boat is going to go fast
4. this is not outerlimits first boat i don't know if you have seen but they have built some nice boats in the past.. there is a ton of ways for water to pass. i have seen 1st hand before the liner was put in.
5. the motors made more than 1800 (i was there watching the dyno runs) the motors will be detuned but not much, there are 3 pairs of these motors out there with much more than 2 hours
whats your other question's
James

And getting more as more people attend the show... :drink:

I just added another Slide Show that gives more detail of the paint work. Thanks to Scott B.

I guess the owner had a budget and not could afford those things and I even heard he doesn't know how to swim:stupid:

Wow ..the boat is beautiful.

Now who will be the FIRST to put TURBINES in one???

Simple: AMF !!!:drink:

hey my wife don't swim either :bunny:

beautiful rig...can you please bring to Chicago this summer?

We will do our best to make it. The boat came out absolutley awesome. The tooling on the boat is amazing

Bill, Awesome piece dude! Nice chat'n w/ ya the other day! Good luck w/ the boat. Tracy

LMAO :evilb: :evilb:

so we're not supposed to push you off the dock and joy ride your cat?

:drink:

I have to agree, after taking a close look at it on Friday - Bill, your cat is killer! (pun intended there btw... ;) ).

Your 47' is my fav. from the OL camp, and I thought was going to be tough to beat - but that looks to have possibly changed now. Best of luck with it!

Mark

Thanks for the compliments, OL is trying hard:drink:

Thanks for the ride in your 47OLGTX. Great boat. Your OL cat is over the top!!!:evilb: See you in Sarasota.:D

Are you going to have motors ready?

Might I concur! Had a great time and I've never had that kind of ride in a V at those speeds ( Hell I've never been that fast in a V). Thanks again, see you in Sota.

What power is in the GTX? Just curious
