Outerlimits SV 43 Testing
 

Great day of testing the SV-43 Raceboat. Powered by 8.3 Whipplecharged 509 CI Outerlimits Powertrain engines.

I need one of those now.

Looking good Fred. Didn't hear you guys running today.

That was yesterday. No testing today. Just boat building.

Hey Bud:

What type of belts are you running on those 8.3litre Whipples?

KAP

We run Gates Belts on there.

It sure was fun, although it would be nice if I actually got to watch where we were going, kinda miss the thrill of going that fast when I'm glued to the laptop!

you didnt want to see where u were going. thank god for high tide. lol

Some still shots of the boat

looks great! you guys are hauling some serious azz......

That thing looks GREAT!!!

How fast did it run? How much hp?

Thats Awesome!! Gotta love testing & tuning that way........

Sounds GREAT!! Good luck and kick some butt!!!

Where was it done? I saw a Nuck plant in the background.

Mount Hope bay in Rhode Island. The nuke plant is not a nuke plant, but they are cooling towers under construction for a coal fired power plant.

Will it be in key west?

That thing looks fast even when it's sitting on the trailer!

Man you guys build some nice boats!

I was going to say you guys went the short way across mt hope bay east to west:eek:.Fred do you guys run to bridge to bridge south to north it seems longer and you got the channels to stay in for deep water. but at high tide and those speeds your using 2 feet of water so your fine. haha. looks good for 180!!!

Looks good and sounds better
How about some numbers??????

next year i am going to make it a point to visit the outerlimits facility while at my beach house...you guys make incredible boats...

i admire them everytime im in bristol / nargansett bay...

In the video, that was 150mph at about 70% throttle, on the limiter. Geared/propped for key west and semi rough water. We were extremely tempted to change the gear ratio and rip a 170mph+ run because it would've easily, but we decided to wait until after KW.

Motors are Outerlimit built 509ci (for Super Vee) setup at 1300ish, extremely conservative.

Yup, and since we got a few days of testing and racing around the bouys, were actually prepared this year! No more last minute stuff.

Ya when we put the boat on the trailer, someone that lives right there came up and said, holy crap, you guys are lucky that its high tide! When we went by, you could see the rocks on the bottom!

Should try 1500hp's and beat Reggies speed record

That is very impressive to say the least! WOW!!

Maybe after KW, this boat is more than capable of it. As of now, winning KW is the only goal.

Who's driving/throttling the boat for KW?

Joe and Mike. And as Dustin said 150 is nothing for this boat!!

Very Nice...
 

Boat looks and seems to run great...

Any update on the big quad power going in your Cat...???

Its very, very fast ha ha

Will be running in KW at the poker run, I think thursday.

I like the sound of that:coolcowboy: man 190 or 200 would be sweeeettttt. good luck down kw. Art

I thought Joe was running with Peter

Awesome!
Very very impressive. The guys at Outerlimits know what they are doing, and you know how to make them go even faster.
Great job!

Thats what I thought...just need to make sure all of the hatches are secure this year!! :lolhit:

I remember last years boat...finished it right before the worlds....glad they got to do some testing on it this time around.

i guess your limited to 509ci in that class?

Yes

Awesome machine!!
