Exactly my point.

Don't waste too much time arguing with screen name 31 AKA Jim Darr....

Oh that dooche...he's like a virus, keeps on mutating.

Ah these are all great reads. Please keep them coming needed to pass some time.

People are just discussing this incident. What is wrong with that? That's why we have these forums. This is a cool little new Outerlimits that everyone was pretty excited about. Now one has crashed already. Why wouldn't people want to talk about that? Even if it's just opinions? Why should it be swept under the rug?

Discussion is good but a lot of assumptions are being posted since we were not in the boat. I also sense some people attacking the brand which is totally wrong.

I don't think anyone attacking OL will be taken serious.

At extreme speeds anything is possible and can/will be dangerous. Thank god everyone is safe and the boat can be repaired. Sometimes things just happen too fast and are not the operators or boats fault. I remember running a 32 Active Thunder (Best Revenge) in Key West back in 1999. Coming into Key West harbor running along side an F2 boat, we caught a large cruiser wake at about 80MPH. The boat launched off the first wake with a twist and tripped over the second wake coming down sideways. The passenger in the center (side by side seating) came half out of the bolster and planted his face/teeth into my throttle hand opening up the sticks for a second time..by the time I settled the boat down, the owner of the boat and his friend were sprawled on the rear floor behind me and the guy who's face smashed the throttles open bit clean through his bottom lip and needed to get stitched up....not to mention the bite mark across the top of my right hand!! The funniest thing was that he thought it was "cool as hell" and wanted to do it again!!!!!! The F2 boat was also shook up pretty good and also wasn't prepared for such a strange/large wake....thank goodness we were able to laugh about it at dinner time and compare notes!

Glad everyone is ok, and all that stuff. I don't want to diminish that point with what I'm about to say.

There is no way any vee bottom is going 110 (or even 105) with 600 horsepower. The only boat on the planet that's going that fast with 600 horsepower is a 28 skater or similar (or a smaller cat).

Outerlimits is making fast vee bottoms as we all know, but they are still vee bottoms and the guys at OL aren't making miracles happen. That speed with 600 hp defies the common sense of any high performance boater.

Its not unheard of when you factor in the weight. Remember this boat is VERY light. Over1000 lbs light than a SVL boat. The SVL fountain runs close to 100 and its over 1000 pounds heavier. So its not out of the realm. My boat was 29 feet long and with a bone stock 500 HP EFI with all the weight out of it ran 88 all day long. That was in 1999 imagine with the new prop technologies how fast it would have gone. Boat was 4000 lbs with out weight in it.
