Just heard the same thing... 101 and going. This boat is embarassing everything else in its size range........ i mean jesus christ.:evilb:

Just Read this entire thread! What's with all the pissin and moanin? It's Real! It's New! And it's Fast! Good Work! Nuff Said! Rich

It is worth sying that we don't know what it might do in any kinda big water asyet? Time will surely afford us this information.

Very impressive!

Can you please post the final gear ratio of the drive once that's been altered, prop pitch and prop diameter?

101 with a stock merc 600 is very impressive! Nice work guys!

What Management device is that on the dash?? Does not look like a smartcraft unless it is a new version of it.

That's the ray marine E7, pretty nice piece. Works with engine management data, navigation and syncs with iPhone. You can watch the engine data on your iPhone or iPad :)

Can you post a video next time you run 101 in that 29' thats UNBELIEVABLE!:angry-smiley-038:

MEOW..:evilb:

There are a few boats that size that run 101+ but not with 600HP??:ernaehrung004:That is great if it does fastest I whould say!!Tough crowd OSO:party-smiley-004:

Awesome boat for sure by OL... But if I was in the market for a 200k boat, Id just somehow find a way to buy your boat Stainless, I mean come on, I know I wouldnt have to think too hard about that one. JMO:party-smiley-004:

You can buy a SV29 well south of 200K and you couldnt buy Stainless' boat for 200K either. The new 29 is a very fun boat to run.

How far south?

Holy chit. I haven't checked out this thread in a few days and am shocked! upper 90's and now 101?
Incredible. great job. Flipside for me is it's pizzing me off now. I have a 600sci - GREAT MOTOR, but you guys are making me hate my boat!!!

Two different boats...yours and the OL. No need to get upset over.

Yes I low that about Stainless's boat, that's why I said find a way, meaning come up with extra $$, so yes how far south, with the 600? And I said it was a great boat!

I'd like to know base price, simplest layup/build w xr drive, all white interior w no power.
Figure I'd just have to add my own power and exhaust.

Seems your theory is wrong the boat seems to be hauling some serious tail and putting up some very nice numbers especially with the power it has!

Agreed. Texomas physics theory was biased and baseless. -He has an old school heavy boat with twins for sale. totally different animal.

I hear ya. but same motor! My boat is great, but man would be nice to be able to run 100+ all I have to do is switch hulls. lol.

for 34K in today's market, a 28 foot 22 year old boat! :eekdrop:


I was just a little bothered by his baseless accusations as well as stating the bilge was painted black to hide the oil? If the boat is not to your cupe of tea then fine but all the assumptions made by him were a little ridiculous. Bottom line is outerlimits did a great job with their 29 and with the speeds they are achieving it will raise the bar on the high end smaller boat's being built.

Seems to me at the show they said base price was 150ish with a 525.

Not unreasonable. Save a few dollars w the ilmor sbc V8 too.

Ok at 150k that is a great price for this boat!!!

Ol
 

150K is right in the ball park for this size boat built with carbon and a 525. I highly doubt this will be a 100MPH boat with a 525. I see whipples dyno sheets on the 525-600sc comparison and how they look to be similar.

Here's how they vary in real life.

One 32 doug wright (34 with bustle) stern drive cat with merc 525's 125MPH dialed in with two people onboard.

One 32 doug wright (34 with bustle) stern drive boat with twin 600's. dropped in the water with a set of props and four people onboard. 137MPH and pulled a whole lot harder than the 525's getting there.

I think the OL is a great boat but if you're comparing this boat with a 525 versus a 600 your comparing apples and oranges.

Can't wait until someone else builds a new boat. Had enough of this one.

LOL! I lost some coffee on that one!

Then don't click on the thread - DUH :lolhit:

It is quite funny. 27 pages dedicated to a single engine 29 foot boat. It MUST be winter. :D

I wouldn't necessarily say it's because of winter, I just think it's more of the fact that in reality I don't believe there has been another v bottom in the same size to reach the same speeds with the given power. A lot of the pages have a lot of bs.

BTW It's always boating season down here in Florida

A 30' Phantom (the pleasure version) with 525 hp will run that fast, do some research. Fact not fiction. I would love to see a new 30' Phantom pleasure version race a 29' OL, both boats with an undoctored 525 Mercury motor; about a three or four mile drag race from a 50-60 mph start.

oh ok I wasn't aware of that.

No problem. The OL is a very nice looking boat, runs great (according to posts thus far) . I think they built a nice product with the 29'.

I agree, It's going to be interesting to see what kind of number the boat ends up topping out at.

If you have this magazine, there's a nice write up on the OL SV29 with HP525 SCi

With a full cabin?

I hear you....I'm just trying to get to 80 with over 600HP....

Yup! Those speed numbers are sick! My 22' 6" (true length) does low to mid 80s with a 525.

Sour grapes
 

Dont worry guys, hopefully sometime within the next ten or twenty years or so Cigarette will create something new and you will be able to talk about that. With any luck it will be a 29 as well and then you guys can talk up why it runs 15 mph slower (with a stripped 1/2 cabin and the same power), but hey... I'm sure the rigging in the Cig will be sooooooo much better! :lolhit:


A 30' Phantom pleasure with full cabin will run over 100 mph with a single 525?!?!?!?! :eek: :bsflag:
