Outerlimits Offering Don Aronow Limited Edition SV43
 

Just in, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...tion-sv43.html.

Somebody is smiling!!!

Just like he would have done, stay on the leading edge of today's technology and design and prove it by winning an event that is a big one....271 miles.

Don sold the company that puts a #1 on the side. I don't even own a Cig and that seems wrong IMO.

CRT should have stepped up and raced.

I must say, that is an awesome looking boat! love the black.

Excuse me!! Don put the 1 on the side when he won the World Championship. First he did it with a Magnum and then he did it with a Cary.

From the looks of this design, this boat will carry the slash one that is unlike the number 1 that is used by one of his former companies.

I dont really know why either, But it does seem wierd...

hey that looks like one of them Cigarette boats

+1:D

Thanks Tank!

Credit where credit is due. The lines, design, paint and of course performance make this boat absolutely outstanding in my humble opinion. Very, very, nicely done.

Im with you. This is the strangest, scratch my head, wtf I ve seen in a while....

Beautiful boat but its like Corvette making a shelby edition

(hey tank check out under my post count ;) LMFAO)

That cheese grater bottom just doesn't fit.

I don't see the "l" issue, I get it,...it's not like it is the "1" symbol and it celebrates the most famous of his boats that had the "l" on it..unlike the "1" associated with CRT......crap, now I am confused :-)

Still, should be a very nice boat...but 525s???? If he was still here, Mr. Aronow would kicks someone's a$$ if that is what they put in that boat.....needs to be 1350s or nothing .... of course, I can say that since I won't be paying for them. LOL

Dave

An Outerlimits with a 1 on the side. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. I mean, I love the boat and know its one of their better hull designs, but still seems kind of strange. Well, good luck with it!

Sharp looking boat in the black.

I feel post 6 states pretty clear what the #1 was and is all about related to Don and his history, but I'm relatively new around here.

The name DA next to an oval... I think Skip may have a problem with this LOL

If you don't think Don would have utilized technology to it's fullest if he was still around building boats you are sadly mistaken. Don was an innovator. Just look at all the boat companies and different designs he created.

Skip has no rights to the name Don Aronow. Problem solved. It's been a pleasure to work with Michael Aronow and making this boat come to fruition.

Dave, base motor are 525. Power options are unlimited for this hull.

Well as they say, it's not about who is right or wrong, but who has the deepest pockets ;) And 'ol skip can throw a mil at this one like it's lunch

Ok whatever.

Matter of fact if I were skip I would just get together with the mfg's Don designed and take the position that "they" are the only ones who can claim any relationship to DA. But thats just me ;).

Nice looking boat though.

Oh and Matt, nice article. Hope you are well and I'll catch up with you soon.

Back from dinner and I can't believe that the issue is the number on the boat.

Let's remember who we are talking about....Don Aronow!! Founder of Formula, Donzi, Magnum, (partner in Cary), Cigarette, Squadron XII, USA Racing....among others.

The man won the right to have the number one. He didn't buy it or have it given to him. When he was World Champion, he had that number on his Magnum and Cary race boats....see below.

Also notice how many other names are on the boats...the Magnum has Magnum - Donzi and the Cary has Magnum on it. His Formula 233, his Magnum 27 and his Cary 32 all carried the name of the famous 30's rum runner from Brooklyn...The Cigarette.....is it ok to talk about real historical facts here??

His son was a land crew member during those World Championship seasons, drivng the race boats all over Europe to the various race sites. This is something he is doing to honor his dad and relive in a sense, his own history......and the talk is about the number??? Give me a break!! Who else deserves the right to use that number??

As far as the engines, one of the things Don loved to do was beat everyone by using less HP than everyone else had. This boat, from what I understand with the 525's should be just inside the triple digits.....anybody else out there can do that??

You are correct Charlie. The boat would just touch 100 with 525.

Ever hear the name Reggie? :D

A 42 poker run was a fast boat but didn't run 99 or 100 with 525. It ran low 90s.

Didn't he have a 35 that ran 100+ with 525,s?

Paul, were talking 43ft boats here, which is what the new Don Aronow boat is, not 35 footers.

Fixed. :drink:

I'm more confused than the bottom of that boat. Isn't Sonic building an Aronow 47?

That little "1" is what this whole sport is all about, as you know. It's actually offensive that they would use the name on the boat. Im not argiung with you at all. Charlie, we ve always had great conversations but it would be like me starting a cat building company and making a Pete or Randy edition.... it's just not kosher

Or, maybe Don would be pissed that his son sold out the# 1 to one of Cigarettes current competitors. There is something that is just odd about it.

Exactly. And this "dan" kid OL40$xCS676s or watever the hell he is is pm'img me about how Mike has the right to do what he pleases and he CHOSE OL to represent the Aronow name. Im gona go puke. LMAO

It appears that we are actually talking about his estate/son who may be licensing the rights to Frisini/Donzi/OL for Aronow editions. No? It would stand to reason that there would be multiple companies that had origins based upon Don's companies that could make the same claim. I too think it is slightly odd to see a Magnum/Cigarette like graphic package on an Outerlimits, but it is a sharp looking rig.

Honestly, it is kind of sad and funny at the same time. Odd, very odd.

All you had to do was read the press release that Matt wrote. It was written pretty clearly. Back to the topic on hand.

Tell you what Jr, I'll call matt. F the release. Jackoff
