Why such hate towards Outerlimits?
 

Always curious about this but I see more animosity and constant ribbing of Outerlimits than any other manufacturer on here.

Discuss.......

:party-smiley-004:

No issues here, in fact I am flying out to see the boys at OL Thursday.

Don't think it's just OL, do a search here on Fountains for example, and see how many of those threads get "Touchy". :eekdrop:

Every brand has their loyalists and haters..... OL builds a great boat, wish I could afford 1!

It's hard for people to understand "if you're not first you're last..."

Outerlimits > ;)

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

They have cheerleaders that feel not only that there boats are better than anything else in production, the brand has never had one issue, and that they themselves are better than anyone that doesn't own an o/l...... Well I should say a "cheerleader"

It is not only on OL, it is also huge haters on Fountain as well.. Top of the food chain LOL' companies that are constantly pushing the bar, will always have haters. TRUE TALK :drink:

:signs043:

Fountain beats all others for hate, from the former owner to the lengh of the boats, the questionable video editing.

the only thing i hate about OL is that i dont have one :D

Is Mr. Russell still associated with OL ?

I agree, I like the product (most of their boat line-up) , dislike the cheerleading squad. The bullsh*t with the cheerleaders never ends. I don't hate, strongly dislike is more accurate.

I feel your post is dead-on accurate.

Apache.

That was so five years ago... :helmet:

oh i could answer that one and ol won't like the answer.:party-smiley-004:

jus my 2cents,,,,,o/l imo hurt themselves years ago when they tried to beat fountain on the speed record.they talked trash,made excuses,and then could not produce.sure reggie talked alot of smack too,but at least he talked the talk,and walked the walk.both boats are alsome works of art and speed.i just think one brand appeales to the bread and butter group,as where the other appeales to the wine and cheese groups.just because you spend 200k+ on a boat does not mean a boat of less money is not better.thats where the pissing and moaning starts.

Ford, Chevy, Dodge.

Is Mr. Sgro still associated with OL ?

Great boats I'm pro Fountain but I own one:lolhit:

Hurt themselves??? Who's still in business? Who's releasing a much anticipated new model in Miami? Who's still pushing the edge with new materials and technology? Who was in key west in full support of their factory backed teams???

Could go on and on.

Wish the best for Reggie and crew but no reason to knock Mike and crew in the process....

X2:bunnydance:

Ding, ding, ding! Well put, but I think he's made a good attempt to considerably tone it down on OSO over the past few months. ;)

Kind of hard to argue with that! :D

With that said, I hope we hear more from Mr. Fountain in the not to distant future, the offshore world is a better place with him here. :)

No hate here, they are righteous vessels. :ernaehrung004:

-Very much looking forward to checking out their new 29 in Miami!

If I'm not mistaken, I think his association was with OL Racing, not OL boat company.

There"s a difference ??

always thought racing was an LLC setup for racing but was separate from the boat building business and not even in the same building.

However, I'm not expert so don't quote me as fact.

dont know who is hated the most ..but i do know who is loved the most ... :)

OL in production..
Fountain is history. Enough said..
Besides, I know both Mike and Reggie personnally. I rather have a drink with Mike and have an OL then a drink with Reggie and have a Fountain. (not getting into the Reggie/me history here.) Both are great boats. Period.

Hey Pete

I dont think anyone here has commented on the quality of the boats.
Both great boats for sure.

One of the prettiest boats on my home lake is an OL.

How long was the OL cat MY WAY around before it was sold ?

Didn't I read where Reggie....
 

was saying a 200 mph pass in one of his Vee's was coming soon??
Not trying to start anything here.
You'd laugh at that statement if it wasn't coming from him.

Agreed though that the above would put a bad taste in a lot of non OL owners mouths, especially Fountain owners.

From what I've seen though ( as a fairly decent glass guy/ X builder) the OL build quality is as good as it gets.

Bayliner:party-smiley-004::daz:

interesting

Amen brother.

Cigarette was Don Aronow's favorite.

most of the haters are jelous cause they dont or cant have one!:poopoo:

Dat right dere is funny, i don't care who you are:bunnydance::lolhit::lolhit::bunnydance:

Don't know Alec. I was suprised when Gold Rush got to the market. It must be winter.. lol. If you have an OL you hate Fountain, you got a Cig you hate NT, You got a Sunsation you hate Baja. YOu got a Cat you hate the "V" 's.
YOu got outboards, you hate the IO's.
If it floats.. I love them all. :daz:

Gotcha bud.

Not true, we like other quality boats such as NT's.

I dont think any of us hate OL or their boats. We hate that if someone buys a new Cig, NT or Fountain, there obviously a moron for doing it

What? Anyway, If we didn't buy new, YOU wouldn't be buying used. :D

Did he tell you that personally....or did you read that somewhere??
