I to love sleeping on the boat. but i would take a hotel room over my 25 with not ac... but giv me ac.. and things quickly change.

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

My point was that these speeds are fairly doable w/ a well engineered bottom and a modern layup.

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.

Hell in MI a heater would be better than AC!!!

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.

UD,
I agree with your assesment, it kinda of reminds me of the Donzi 35/38 ZR series. I love the looks of those boats, the flat deck and everything, BUT the cabin is RIDICULOUSLY small, as in No head room. When I and the family went last x-mas and looked at 38ZR bank repo, the only 1 who could GET into the cabin, (without getting down on your hands and knees) was our 10 year old daughter. It pretty much killed the deal for us, although we don't sleep on our boat, we do use the cabin a bunch..... 1 of the many reason we bought the 388, 5' 1" of cabin height.
Anyway, love the looks and performance #'s of the new OL, just not a boat we could spend the day on, I'm afraid.....

Are there any pictures of the cabin or is this one without a finished cabin?

The cabin

Sweet! :cool:

Your customer likes dark colors! That is a nice spot but I'd have done it all in white and maybe a little differently. Great boat though. It will definitely fill a niche and has dual engine performance with the simplicity of a single. And it's an Outerlimits. What's not to like? (except that you shouldn't be beaching it...) :)

we sleep in/on the 46skater up to 6 lol, when we go to block or FR pr. its going to be nice to have the saber, that will sleep 2 to 4.lots of us like rocking slowly to sleep on the boats.ps going to check the 29 out this week.

comfortable yes they are either sleeping or running 90 your boat is nice. whats great is when your hung over, you could lie in the cabin all morning. then just wake up by slipping off boat into the water. boy do I have a story about that lol.

Whoa........ I have seen a lot of boats go by my summer house on Narragansett Bay.....but I just saw the "Orange Flash" go by a few minutes ago. I know a lot of guys with twin engine boats that would like to go that fast.

I won't even guess what the number was...... but I would be willing to bet it is very close to three figures if not over a bit.

Good afternoon wind blowing and the boat looked very stable....... and it was just running really good. I say the OL guys have done a great job with this one. Congrats for sure.

It looks better without the windshield. :party-smiley-004:

LOL. :poopoo:

Okay, that was pretty funny. :lolhit:
