forget air scoops, did you notice what we chopped off this boat, they may be taller than the canopy.

Thanks guys for the thread. It tells me who cares about the quality of their work! Very nice job but you know that. I wish I could afford one of your boats! Maybe when I grow up.

QUALITY FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END!

Well I'm sure you'll come up with something. I like the molded ones on the 48 pleasure cat in Powerboat mag but if the motors are as tall as you say they are that probly won't work on this one.

To all expecting photos, they will be coming. The boat is currently in the booth receiving a fresh paint job, and will resume it's place on the floor for final assembly on Monday.

However, the engines in the race boat will be manufactured in house by Outerlimits new engine shop.

This is a full service shop providing services from rebuilds to full efi motors. The possibilities are endless. All of our engines are hand built using the finest componants and are carefully tuned on our in house Dyno.

Stay tuned, this will be a busy week

The secret is out! The motors Outerlimits are building will be spectacular and really make this SV43 move!

Here are some Saturday progress shots. Paint booth, making some lines for the engines, and finally the engines themselves.
