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.

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.

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.

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.

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