I agree with 78CIG24, by changing a few logos, there comes an identity crisis to many, particularly without the DA history in the case of Outerlimits.

OL makes a quality product, from all that I've heard, but this is similar to Chevrolet winning the Nascar season then bringing out a "Henry Ford" tribute edition Chevrolet to honor the man who started it all. Would that make any sense or would it ever happen? I'm thinking no.

No one on either side has put down the quality of Mike's product, in fact just the opposite.
OL should take it as a compliment that people around here think enough about them and the path they take that they actually voice their opinion.

This is just the reaction you get when you are on the top of the list of boatbuilders.

If no one reacted they wouldnt give a shiit.
Not the OL thing, it's the Dan/OL thing and the reactionary bash fest that's ruining this thread. Agree with you on all other points.

How long did he own the company ?
And how long did he wait to compete with them after he sold it ? If in fact thats what happened.

It was a Cary secretly built under the name of a friend's Florida boatbuilding company to Aronow specifications since he was under a no compete restriction to the purchaser of one of his former companies.
Always the innovator,Aronow named it THE CIGARETTE after a fast 50' commuter hull built for New Yorker Gorden Hammersley by the legendary Gar Wood.


How many times did that happen ?
