I could not agree anymore, look what all that BS got him! BANKRUPT! BUD:bunnydance:

I think a lot of the bad press from any boat manufacture can come from the new boat dealer. Outerlimits had some problems with distributers we all know the names. People as press always look to kick the guy on top i guess Mike has gotten a lot of compliments.

caferacer 02-07-2012 08:18 PM

It's the cheerleaders......not the brand....who has introduced more models in the last few years??????? No one !!!! working with new materials...they have single handedly moved performance boating forward at a time when most other companies are hanging on by a thread. And yes All that comes at a price...and if you can afford it ?? Why not?? But nobody likes a bragger

All depends what you are looking for. I like quality, fit and finish, so I would be a fool not to go with Cig. Maybe not the fastest, but better rigged and better built would be hard to do.

Really? This is powerboating. How many of us get a bigger head when we fire up our boats? C'mon, powerboating is full of braggers and big egos. Everybody wants to be bigger, louder and faster. And not trying to bash here, but when it comes to cheerleading, I don't think the cig guys has anything to let anybody else hear. Just say you want to go offshore and they'll say you're a moron for buying anything but a cig.
:helmet:
Carry on.

YOu got outboards, you hate the IO's.

Don't worry, this thread will undoubtedly go to $hit...in about ten posts, be prepared...


Hahaha! Oh boy. This post is classic. BTW, this thread went to sh!t the second you posted "if your not first your're last..." Hahaha.

NOBODY on this site hates Outerlimits. Unless the company has done you wrong in the past, theres no reason to hate them.....Although it has gotten better, its the arrogant posting that gives folks a bad taste about the brand.

scarab63 02-08-2012 08:22 AM

Ol is to boats like lebron james is to basketball...
The best ? Possibly
above all others? Idk?
Attitude....

I still like o.l.

Cant wait to buy a 29 `

When I can afford one......2025

Why translate that to the brand? The quality, innovation, and technology of the boats has nothing to do with people cheering or ragging on the boat. As far as I can tell, OL is at the forefront of boatbuilding these days.

302Sport 02-08-2012 08:55 AM

Plain and simple, people are jealous and it puts a hair across a cig owners a$$ because OL is now what Cig used to be...................

Cigarette = Bear Stearns

Outerlimits = JP Morgan Chase

I agree with you on the translating part, but thats what seems to be happening.

iamjoe 02-08-2012 09:03 AM

OL is obviously one of the better boats out there, but it seems to me that they sometimes should keep their mouths shut and let the boat do the talking. Also, I think they stepped on their own d!ck when they introduced the "Aronow" special or what ever it was called. That seemed to not only pizz some folks off, but also made them look like they were trying to cash in on a history that they played no part in. Regardless of what The Dons son says or supports, The Don was put to sleep when Mike F was still watching Scooby Doo and the two are completely unrelated.

With all of that said, I myself would be proud to own one as they are really nice.

Now, that is funny. Ol has a long way to go before they can achieve that. And, I am neither jealous nor hateful to Ol. I give credit to Mike for his epoxy boats and hull technology and truly think that he has created some of the coolest looking boats out there.He is definitely ahead of the competition in certain areas. However, that does not translate to being the best boat or the ultimate performance boat. Plus, I think that some of OL's PR people,from the past have boasted things that are just not true and that has been disappointing. Anyhow I wish them well with their 29 and look forward to seeing what else they can bring to the table. And when Skip finally buys Mike out, we just might have the ultimate boat. :D

PhantomChaos 02-08-2012 09:23 AM

They have a lot of the color orange in OL boats. Maybe folks are tired of orange? :D

wlwaldock 02-08-2012 09:34 AM

I love how the people that do the most talking tend to not own any of these boats.

302Sport 02-08-2012 09:46 AM

that way we have an unbiased opinion

You just dont't get it. The OL pleaure boats are great in my opinion, but the people that are constantly telling me they are great is the issue for most of us on OSO. Or not living up to expectations once the boat is built ie after being touted as the greatest, fastest, best handling ever, the World Champion race boats, or the best cat ever built...it gets old real quick. I just don't buy the bullsh*t, it gets annoying.

In am not jealous, nor do I hate. If I could own a SV43, I would consider buying it, or maybe a Skater, Statement, or Phantom (I like Will Smith).

It is not the boat, but the blind loyalty to the OL brand and arrogance associated with OL supporters is the issue. The OL boat is not an issue, that is the good part.

thirdchildhood 02-08-2012 11:06 AM

They are piece of crap boats just like Cigarette, Skater and MTI:thankyouthankyou:.

302Sport 02-08-2012 11:10 AM

You cant even compare an OL and a Cig. An outerlimits has a useable cabin with bed, toilet, etc, so it can be considered a pleasure boat. Since 2000 a Cig has, at best a half cabin which has worse accomodations than the porto potti on my job site. When Cig builds a 42X with a FULL cabin (shower, ac, bed, etc...) that runs with a 42OL, I will eat my words. It boils down to the simple fact that the TS Cig design is now over a decade old and every year outerlimits is changing and modifying their bottom design for the better

Wildman_grafix 02-08-2012 11:45 AM

So how much does OL count the overhang in the LOA?:helmet:

Sorry had to say it just having fun, I really don't care, they are cool boats!
