Cut-Down 47-foot Outerlimits Cat Makes First Sea Trial
 

Late breaking news, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...sea-trial.html.

Has the running surface been changed??????

Running surface has not changed.

Is that an Air conditioning compressor to the left of the engine, white and down low?

Nice boat....and tow rig

This boat is unlike anything else out there!! Can you say clear carbon!! Boat is unreal!!

wow! that looks amazing!

E85 and 16#'s of Boost. I like seeing E85 used in boats!

Looks Dialed...
 

Can we expect some follow up numbers once Mike streches her legs...

1750hp and All Carbon, should be damn near 200mph...

Looking forward to seeing additional pics and maybe video of this bad girl running...

Thanks MT...

Great to see the Big guys catching on to E85 !
Gonna drive the Ethanol haters crazy when they see the results these guys get.:drink:
I've been luvin it all Summer w/boost.

Evidently you're not having the problems with Ethanol others in the Northeast are..

No E85 to even be found in CT!


The boat looks sweet!

BTW, Matt you have the first picture labeled as it being a "37"... you dont want to insult the new owner. ;)

it sure looks like a small sanden compressor to me

Thats one cool boat...

First sentence states 37' boat....

Bad A$$.

Also Stripper poles on the deck with led walkways. Congrats to the new owner!

Corrected. That's what rushing at the end of the day will get you.

Kind of cool story about yesterday: I called Mike Fiore for another article I'm doing. Didn't get him, so I sent a text that said "Call me." A couple of hours later he sent one that said, "Call me back." Another hour goes by before I can call him, but when I do he picks up the phone and says, "Hold on a second, I'm backing the new 47' cat into the water."

Some days it pays to pick up the phone.

That boat is beautiful and what a mean looking rig to pull it around.

Thats what it is, gotta have AC :coolcowboy:

Here's another image

Boat looks good Dustin, the E85 stuff is cool! :cool:

Rumor at the lake is that both motors burnt up on this thing. Anyone know the truth? People love to talk and was just curious what, if anything happened. I know we don't have E85 up here.. Get us the scoop Matt! :drink:

Anyone know if this is true? Matt?

I would really hate to hear that for the owner after all this time and effort! We are all anxious to hear test results!

Hope it's not true.

The 1750's were replaced with Merc 1200's I think.

Dustin, Is this story true about the engines?

Maybe just temporary until the tuning is worked on?

I was anxious to see how well the E85, that much horsepower with Whipples, and a Carbon OL Cat ran.

I am sure you will figure the combintion out.

Thanks

growing pains...anything new....power...one off boats ...take time to dial in and get what u expect of it...have to admire these guys for always moving forward...always pushing the envelope. Not many companys doing the constant re-tooling that OL has been doing. And when they figure it out ol40svxxx will be on here waving the OL banner for all to see. Keep up the good work

I agree. Dustin is very good at what does as well. I am very impressed with Whipple superchargers!
