Diesel-Powered 52-foot Outerlimits Hits 94 mph

It's been a busy and successful week, plus a few days, for the Outerlimits folks, http://speedonthewater.com/new-boats...ts-94-mph.html.

Have a great weekend.

94 mph is great and so so so fuel efficient

I bet if he used the FPT 560 they would have broke a 100mph

I can't wait for all the experts to weigh in.

Sounds like a great setup. Well done.

I bet Mike wanted the most speed with the setup so it's an epoxy boat. I think FPT650s would get it over 110...
