Dan, I don't have an issue with bladders, but heard that ther were multiple boats down because of it and was merely pointing out that no one boat builder is without flaws.

How did Skater handle all the issues they had and continue to have with their fuel tanks as a result of ethanol. Did Skater pay for the repairs or chaarge the customer. Was it Outerlimits and skaters fault that the govt mandated the use of ethanol.

The boats if they have an issue, yes would be down for a few week repair. And yes not every boat is perfect. None of the new vee bottoms have a bladder as the fuel tank is either aluminum or integrated with the hull.

Just curious but how exactly do you integrate a tank into the hull?

That's great and good to know. Thank you.

And when we looked at ordering one for an interested customer when they first came out Pete told us that the first one (a race boat) was running 110-115 with 525s, who am I going to believe you or Peter? C'mon Jay

I'm not speaking for mike, but I don't think mike cares too much about OSO. He has a quality product that he continues to improve, always at the forefront of technology, and continues to have new boat sales. OSO represents a very small portion of the high performance industry and even smaller portion of people with the capabilities of purchasing a new OL. This is not to say Dan doesn't need PR help, because he certainly does, Dan call Jess... She'll help you out... But OL hasn't suffered since dans joined.

It's part of the monocoque grid system that Outerlimits utilizes in the 43/44 hulls. The grid is typically made out of carbon then coated with ethonal resistant resins to enhance durability.

This guy works for OL? Wow......absolutely wouldn't allow that if I was Mike. Maybe Mike doesn't know?

Dont know that answer, but Im sure you do...LOL...Let me ask this... why dont you hear any problems from other quality companies, like NT, Sunsation, AT, Hustler...etc.. where the lightest piece of equipment used = a faster speed..is not that important approach to them...these other companies I listed feel are giving customers something that has always worked..dont change it rule of thumb..somewhat old school...and ok by the masses..where OL...is always pushing the envelope, speed is priority one...nothing wrong with that at all in my book...my point is simple, stand behind it. No excuses..if you are told this is one of the best technical laid up boats out there, ...do as you represent. Jeff
