I really really love the numbers of the outerlimts.
But If i was in the market for a single 29V it would be the hustler. Just standing next to each boat at the miami boat show the Hustler looks like a wave crusher, fast, roomy, better looking cockpit. Just looks like more for the money.
Read on Hustler facebook that one of the 29's runs 91mph with a 700 and nxt. Not bad really. But who knows what its setup for. My guess would be all out pleasure not top speed.

No, it is a E-glass Vinylester boat. Epoxy carbon kevlar infusion and the like are all options.
I know the kelvar infused boats are A LOT lighter. The base hull is vacuum bagged.
No steps either and it is OVER 28 feet long with no swim platform. Up till now I would say for sure it was the fastest around, now I think there might be a good race between the two.

I ran the boat with Mike Fiore for an upcoming test in the July issue of Boating magazine and saw 101 and change on my handheld GPS. I can also tell you the engine was bone stock because the rev limiter kicked in numerous times during our speed runs. I was more impressed with how well it handled in gusting crosswinds and 2' to 3' chop in Narragansett Bay. With my 11-year-old son Blake in the back seat, I drove it at 85 mph across that slop after only 5 minutes at the wheel. This would be a great poker run boat.
