Well you are in the South so I can see that. Up here in Michigan my 12 volt fan is enough.

And if the OL beats out phantom, activator etc etc... then they have a real winner.
My point was that these speeds are fairly doable w/ a well engineered bottom and a modern layup.

Of course, mine wasnt anywhere close to $200k.
I dont mean you can't sleep in it, but most spending this coin wont care to.

When designing the boat we focused most of the cabin room on the vee berth area for those that would intend to crash on the boat. It's actually a very large space with great head room from berth to deck. Two people can fit up there and stretch out no propblem.

One of the major benefits of a boat 30 feet and less is the ability to get into places that bigger boats cannot go without damage or needing 4 guys to handle it.

I spend at least a week a summer (aggregate about 1 night at a time) in the cabin not because "I cant afford a hotel" - hardley.

I like to go where there aren't any hotels. 150 miles up lake at Powell you wont find any rooms for the night amongst the canyons so the boat becomes the hotel room on a limited basis.

I traded off a bunch of weight for an AC and heating unit so I can do this with a greater degree of comfort than most.

I also like to come and go as I please day or night fresh or saltwater and like the autonomy of a useful cabin.

It looks to me that there is a lot of horizontal cabin space in this OL, but that its likely very tight from a depth perspective as the boat is low profile.

If I were ordering this boat I would have a hatch installed up front for fresh air and ingress and egress to the bow cleats. I would also have added bowrails so I could get to the front easily and hold on while mooring at an island.

Once again- if you dont do any of those things skipping the weight, cost and complexity was a smart way to go.

Wow, lots of HATE for a killer looking boat that runs very impressive numbers. I think its awesome for a company like OL to build a high end 30' boat, not everyone has the need for a big twin, or the region you boat in doesn't justify anything more. Congrats to them for building it, my good friend is buying one and I cant wait to get some time in it.

What's up with the bow roller design on the trailer? The tradiional split bow stand & split guides of the typical Myco is one of the things that makes it better than the rest; now this.

Interestion detail. Did not see that. But yes I will agree on this. Any particular reason?

That is the way the trailer came. You will not see another Outerlimits on a trailer with a stop like that.
