50 foot boat is massive to my eyes. Maybe Im bucking the trend of bigger and bigger but we have a 42 OL and a 42 Fountain in our shop right now and they just seem so freakin huge on the trailer. Ill take a 28 foot boat that runs 100 over a 50 foot boat that runs 100...huge difference in the thrill factor. Very cool boat in the ocean though :D

Even a 42' gets small in the ocean, especially if it's a Fountain :drink:

Approx 11,500lbs. On the triple comment with proper hull design and proper wight distribution different things can be achieved speed being one of them. A newer 52SL with staggered 1075's runs conservativley 120mph and the triple version conservativly 135mph. Both full caboin loaded to the top boats.

At that price it is prime candidate for an Arneson conversion boat and Whipple stage 2 or 3 on the 600's. That is a reliable, bulletproof package. Kinda curious as to what that thing would run with a couple more HP and Arnesons. They ever put trip Arnesons on a 51?

Heck, if you sell all 3 bravo's you get 1 Arneson FREE!

I trailer everywhere also. Adds for some additional versatility and less wear and fuel use of the boat using a trailer IMHO. You just have to be comfortable trailering the long load. It has some drawbacks, but I prfere it over high & dry storage or lift slip. Im Longer than most 18 wheelers hooked up. Gooseneck prob is better than off the rear, plus it allow for a tighter turn radius. I figure Im over 19,000 lbs loaded, boat, fuel gear and trailer. Then add in the truck.....

agreed...the number that was thrown out before sounds way to low. my 29 footer weighs 9300 wet. excuse my negligence but outerlimits doesnt have an anti-gravity hull design.

From what I was told there were no calls resulting from this thread. :(

A local guy bought it so it looks like all 3 of the owners OL's are staying in NJ.

We still have the 42X unsold so if anyone is interested please contact me.

I'm sure whoever is buying these boats could give 2 sh!t's less if the boat weighs 11k or 13k.... Especially w/ the performance #'s these OL's are putting on the board!!!!

There's no 51 on our website and no info on the 52SL yet?? I guess you dont have to believe it. And the boat in question is not a full carbon boat.

Whats also amazing to me is that the old 37 stilettos have a reported dry wieght of is 10200pds. That boat is 13 ft longer and just over 1000 pds more

doing quick number crunching...if the boat has a dry weight of 11,500 (dans weight number) that would mean it carries 3,000 lbs of wet weight using the aforementioned 14,500 from the website. ehhh these numbers look sketchy to me. that means 20% of the weight is fuel. doubtful.

something like that has to have huge tank and at 8lbs a gallon. I could see it being feasible.
