Hahahahaha!.......... I was waiting for your Cigarette hating comment you cool aid drinking pool shark! Its crazy that in a size boat that Cig doesnt even make, the 29 OL is STILL being compared to the godfather of performance boats......

A direct comparison and the full fanboy-effect that would soon follow will have to wait until there's 50 nearly identical Cig 29's parted at every dock (compared to the one or two 29 OL's). And just think, if Cig made a 29 there would be so many more cool guys sporting Cig license plates and wearing Ciggy jackets! :party-smiley-004:

BTW, I recall you inquiring about some OL apparell.....did they ever come through for you???? Haha, I thought not.

Not only did OL come through in spades with my gear (shirts, jackets, pants, socks, hats, sport-coat, license plates, coolers, etc) so I can hang with you guys, but they are also custom making me an OL logo Speedo with an enlarged schlong pocket and built in penis pump! I'm gonna 'hang' with you Ciggy boys yet! :lolhit:

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:

My previous post never mentioned a 30' Phantom running 100 mph with a 525, that would indeed be BS. The comparison was a 525 match-up.

You are correct, the 30' Phantom will not run 100mph (it is not in any of my posts) with a 525, but no one made that claim, nor did I make that claim. Re-read my post without inferences.

Do you have any real world data on that? Not trying to doubt what you are saying but I have been around a Phantom or 2 and there is no indication they are THAT fast?

Sorry, but the post before yours were talking about this 29 OL running 101+ (and I'm sure it will run more when dialed in), and then you stated:


And quite frankly I'd be stunned if a pleasure 30 Phantom with equal power will come close to matching the top speed of this OL.

The 600 boat is at 100+ mph.

No HP fairy, just further testing. The plug went 91mph with a 525hp efi engine, stock. The production tooling is of course nicer than the plug so when it gets tested, most of us can reasonably estimate the 525hp efi speed to be the same or better as the plug. There are plenty of these boats sold so most will see other numbers with other engine combos over the next year.

I think lauderdale boats is talking about the boat in that link.

Ambiguity on this thread is REDICULOUS!
so many have taken speed numbers out of context, just cause they have not read the entire thread.

Physics? Do you know what torque steer is? Thats the problem with all big single engine boats..........torque steer. In general, most of the 28ft+ boats with single 500+hp are also plagued with out drive problems on a regular basis.........especially in rough water use......... which may be why OL and merc are rumored to not be getting along. Don't believe me go look at all the big powerd sabers, panteras, activators, etc. Their always fighting drive problems.......which makes for an unreliable boat IMO. I may be entirely wrong seeing that it doesn't appear to be a 29ft boat at all. I'm just throwing out words of caution. This boat could certainly be lightened enough to eliminate drive concerns and maximize speed by going to a bare bones cabin and super light layup, but really, at that point your much better off going with a 28 skater or the like.

I don't have any problem with ya'll drinking the koolaid but I'm not going to be forcefed the utter BS coming out of the three plus threads on this boat just cause it has an OL on the side. I mean chit guys, you act like you never seen a bustle on the stern of a boat before..........OL puts one on a 28 to call it a 29 and you guys run around pretending its a revolutionary design. This boat isn't any more or less revolutionary than the deck design of the failed adrenaline 30 or the steps of the new 38 HyperSonic. Did I hear 90mph with the 525? If so this boat doesn't even match up to a superboat Y2K IMO, the superboat is two feet longer, has a useable cabin, and will run close to the same speeds with a 525, while costing the buyer almost half as much. The 29 warlock will run 100mph with 525 and cost half as much. So whats left? The shiny bezels and chrome? The paint job and colors that makes the entire boat useless in warm climates? Not for $100K over the competition.........

The post that Smarty was replying to implied the OL was running 100+ w/ the 525. I know I read it(and its gone now).
I didn't reply becuase too many are posting w/o knowing the facts.
BTW, the 29extreme ran 82-83 w/ a 496HO. So none of these speeds are THAT out of line.

Artie, maybe a bit narrower at 7th beam, but both boats would serve the same purpose... A 5 man sit-down low profile single purpose boat.
Cabin. Are you kidding? It's for holding your gear.
Guy who just spent 200k on this boat, is sleeping in a hotel.
How many guys sleep in thir MTIs and Skaters.
