39 outerlimits ride?
39 outerlimits how is the ride?
Thanks Jeff |
Like a 42' if it was 3 feet shorter, or a 51' if it was 12' shorter. :grinser010:
Sorry, couldn't resist. :eek: |
I drove one with 525's, great boat, but a hand full .......my opinion
|
I heard it is the same as a 388 Slingshot. Go figure.

I know that you were searching for an Outerlimits since selling your Cig and I now see that you have now have an Outerlimits avatar. I assume that you now own an Outerlimits...what did you buy and why don't you like it?

hope to see you soon! |
Been in both...i think Cigs best model is the 39 with 700's... I dont think the 39 is one of o.l's best models imho
|
One thing is certain, you won't have to worry about a 39, 2x700 Cig chine walking over 110! Other than that it's all good.

Nothing is like the scarry ride of any 388 Slingshot! And did you get a ride on a 39? I did! And to make that comparison is very insulting!!! Also, how have you been? It's been a loooooooooooooong time, no see. Give me a call. |

About 106-108, I think. |
My 2 cents
Owned a 46 cig, now a 46 OL. Both seem to handle rough water the same, which was good, prob because of the size. Otherwise different rides. The Cig rides with the bow up, and was fun to get airborne, kind of the float feel which I thought was fun. I think because the bow rode higher up, it launched more. The OL rides flatter, very flat, which gives much better visiibility, my wife can actually see over the windshield. It doesnt seem to get the air, and it may be because I don't try to launch it, but I think it is just a flatter ride. THe OL also is wider, and doesnt requre as persistant trimming to keep level. My cig only had a top end of 91 mph, so I cant talk about high speed performance. The OL has a top end of 125, and I've had it 120, and no problems. It runs fast smoothly and you feel very safe. (maybe foolishly). Personally I think they both have nice rides. I think the big difference isn't the ride, but they are completely different boats. The OL has a nice cabin, bathroom, etc, ladies like that. It is wider, and sl more stable. ANd the hulls are lighter, so better mileage, and speed. One thing about the OL ride is the boat is so stiff, it doesnt flex, and nothing rattles, and it feels really solid. i could feel my 46 cig flex in big water. Years ago I had a 35 cig carbon cafe, and it was stiff, and the OL has that same stiffness, which I like. THe cigs however are about being cool, like the original harley. They have the cool traditional cig look, nice dash and cockpit, that no one in the market comes close too. THe girls may like the cabin of an outerlimit, but the cigs are sexy too, and the girls probably think they are cool without realizing it. |

SC Performance just received a new OL 41 w/ 700's seriously for sale
What a nice package - i heard over 113 mph or more if i'm not mistaken |
Which power do you prefer, the Ilmor 710's or Mercury racing 700's?

So true about the 46,s. Although, I don't think the 39 GTX is OL's best boat from what I have read and heard. And, I believe the 39 GTX has been discontinued. At this point, I would have to give the slight edge to Cigarette when it comes to the 39. Either way, they are both boats I would be proud to own.
I agree with this statement...The 39 Cig has a totally different ride...vs the 39 OL which is more of a drivers boat. I'm not a fan of the extremely stiff epoxy laden rides. Fit and finish is the same, both high quality boats. Now..Take a look a 39 Nor-Tech. Speed will be around the same as the Cig, 2.5 longer, wider, more cockpit area and way more cabin area and height..great ride, just as good quality as boats mentioned above with a different edgy look to it.. Drive all 3 boats back to back (Fast boats .com) and you will see what I'm talking about......ALSO if you get a chance another excellent boat to check out is a used 38 PP. As to the 46 Cig and OL..I will take hands down the 46 OL. Best boat in it's class...unfortunately I would sacrifice 5-7mph or what ever the actual speed would be for a softer riding boat. Good Luck in which ever boat you get..keep us informed. Jeff |

Both boats are completely different. I know the 39 GTX was owned by Jim Wiley who also owned XXX and it was maintained well. I have seen it run over 110 and it looked awesome. That being said, I agree with everyone else. The Cig will ride better but slower and give you more cockpit and cabin room. The OL runs flatter and stiffer but faster but has less room, more of a poker run boat.
Apples and Oranges really but both are real nice. |
