Reggie: I hope you're reading this post and I hope you or someone in the industry can get into the growing market for a nice 28-29 foot single engine v-hull that will run 88-96mph with some reasonable cost 565-600HP power that can reach the buyer market for that $125Kto $150K price model. A nicely equipped boat with good moderate rough water manners, nice usable size cabin and comfortable room for 5 people and gear, now that would be the BOMB!

Let's be realistic. The outer limits is 1000 lbs lighter. Make them the same weight and the outer limits will get crushed. Period.

Why should OL have to build a heavier boat? Nobody is telling each manufacturer what weight to build their boat. If OL can build a lighter boat that can perform as good or better in the rough water as well as be faster, then good for them.

The OL is 1000 lbs lighter than the stripped down fountain?

I think Reggie already did, he just needs to head down to the old plant in the cover of darkness and grab the 27/29 Fever molds!

Yeah, I wonder where those smaller molds are...

A lot of people don't realize the Watch Your back boat is the 33' mold. They took the beak and platform off to make it a 30 footer(plus cut down the deck, etc.)
