What is Outerlimits fastest hull?
 

have been told the new 43 is the fastest hull they have running 125mph with 700's, it seems the smaller boats would be faster.

The SV43 with Stock 700's runs right around 120 under perfect conditions. A usual day speed of 118. With Ilmor 725's its a low 120's boat. As of now, until the release of the SV29, that is really the smallest (in production) boat we build. My 40 has run a best of 113 with 650's, usually around 110, and is actually slightly slower than the SV43.

my way 3:coolcowboy:...50 with turbines - i think he was around 190-195

he was commenting about the efficiency a Vee bottom......

How much of a diff is there between a open and closed cocpit version in terms of efficiency?

How is the 28SV boat comming along? Sorry for the hijack.

The SV29 is coming along. Its taking time but will be an awesome boat. Like all other Outerlimits, we will not be done tweaking the boat until its perfect. Between the open and closed versions they are close to the same. The open boat is lighter but the closed boat is more aerodynamic so they almost cancel out each other. I would say the open boat may be a mph or two faster. At higher speeds it could be a different story.

Thanks for a swift answer:)

I am confused about something. You call the little one an SV29, the website writes 28SV, Are you guys experimenting with different lengths?

No the website is wrong. The boat will be called a SV29.

The 43 raceboat ran over 160 no problem. Stock 43 with 1075 little prop work ran 145.

And much north of that!:D You coming to Billy's run in CT Bill?

ya what is the date?

July 23rd. Should have alot of Outerlimits!

I think i can go may have a wedding, will check with wife.How is your boat running ? use much

The 40 with my engines on pump gas ran 140.Bills 43 with my upgraded 1075s will run 150 plus on pump gas making it the fastest V hull on Pump fuel!

a 43 on pump fuel running 150mph on 1075 power is unbelievable, do you have a pic of that boat

Its running great! Been using it every weekend since we splashed it! Hope you can make the run.

Jeff Immagine when I get some real headers

Sharkeys has pics of boat 2009 N.Y pokerrun. Fl powerboat does. It the pleasure boat on outerlimits web. silver blue with green stipes

It will be in a major boating publication soon.

Is there a Kilo attempt in OL's future?

In regards to the SV43, is that with any upgrades to the motor? You mention stock, but want to make sure that doesnt include a Whipple ECU upgrade. Regardless, thats smokin fast!

It will run with stock 700's 118 all day. With Whipple upgrades its in the low 120's easily. A 44SL with full cabin, generator, tv, ect runs 110mph with stock 700's.

Not relevant to this question, but Mike Fiore, Bob Teague and I topped 120 mph in a 52-foot Outerlimits in a test for Powerboat magazine. I believe it had twin 1,400 hp Sterlings. The OL 52, for those who haven't seen it in person, is a huge V-bottom—tall, wide and (obviously) long. I don't recall the weight, but I also don't recall it being particularly "light."

Given the sheer mass of the boat and its stability at that speed, it was impressive as any ride I've ever taken.

So thats not including the stage one upgrade, right?

Bone Stock from Mercury Chris.

That was an older non-epoxy 51 an absolute beast in big water.

smokin!

The boats are fast, handle extremely well, and can take big water without question.

You're welcome.

Trade those egg beaters out for turbines and I think you're onto something :drink:
