I don't work for Outerlimits, I've just had a few of their boats...

I have no reservation running 80+ in 3-4s from KW to Miami....I do it here on 40 mile runs all the time in the North-East...

I never took the inside to KW, running on the Ocean side was more fun...

You like nor-tech, great, the 42 GLASS Bottom Legacy is one of the best wave crushing boats with steps they make...so I'm not bashing them (nor-tech), I'm just saying, you have a nor-tech, I have an outer limits, I feel my boat will and can do anything yours will at the same comfort level.

It's a design flaw in the design because they did exactly that, I know where they cracked, the front section....

IT IS A FLAW..no matter how you slice it..

Cig stepped to the plate and sent me new tanks, I have nothing bad to say, but don't say it's anything but that..you put tanks in a boat and push the limits of what you can fit...and it cracks, because of the "design"....

Jesus you can't say anything here without absolutely everything being said attacked.

We're all boaters, we all are a dying breed in this sport...because the sport is suffering heavily from financial woes...why does everything have to be some kind of attack. I find it more often than not with Outerlimits than other brands...

Apparently unless you're on everyone else's side with just about everything, you cannot even comment. I like Apache, Cigarette, I'm just saying, if you want speed, and comfort, great..this is basically a pissing contest about which brand is better because each owner has some bone to pick with the others. You own what you own, I own what I own, in an Outerlimits thread, I'm going to support them, I own one because I've pushed it to the limit and it has done everything I can throw at it.

I'm not a calm water runner, I've never turned around because of rough seas...and I've been out in some pretty hairy stuff...I'm glad a straight bottom runs better, but I prefer to run faster with the same power, in comfort than others...IN THE SAME SEAS...

I had a straight bottom, Stepped is the evolution and OL does it right...get over the lets attack every goddamn thing about them...

dude, breathe...im not attacking you.. at least in my opinion its not a design flaw if only some of them crack, it could have been bad metal or welds from the tank company. Crane had some bad cam cores a few years ago, doesn't mean the design was bad. Boats also delam, doesnt make it a bad design, just bad layup...

No matter what anything man made can have issues, I'm glad Cig stepped up for you, may not have been a home-run for cig.. but my 2000 is still tight as a nuns C

How about bladders in Ol's? Like I said before, no one boat builder is perfect.

Only handful's of OL had bladders. It was a customer option, not standard. You have an issue with bladders contact ATL not Outerlimits.
