You did not help me out, nor did you try to help me out, you tried to justify and reinforce your opinion.
I call it like I see it, I am not mad, I just don't buy all your BS. Again, this sh*t is getting old real quick. I said I was done in an earlier post, I should have stuck to my word. I am not getting baited back into this thread.
My opinion is based on direct knowledge from someone who was there at the time of the incident, and has intimate knowledge of the situation, not reading some Internet banter, how is this MY BS ? Seems like you have an agenda counsellor .

I also find it odd that Mr. Fiore would have to rely on tab indicators over the feel of the boat. If one tab was down too far wouldn't it induce a list? If one tab gets lowered too far is it normal that it cause the boat to flip?? I don't think so. They need to get to the bottom of this because the faulty tab indicator thing doesn't make it OK. Go ahead, bash me now.

Not buying it brother, sorry. Six hundred horsepower is not pushing a v bottom of that size to 103 mph. If the supercharger is doctored then we have a different scenario of course.
What does the boat weigh, 3000 lbs? Then maybe. When I saw the boat in Miami it looked like a teeny tiny boat in terms of its freeboard. Not a large boat at all for its length. That's not a criticism - just a statement and an observation that it was designed in a certain way to attain a cerain efficiency.
But still - there's nothing so ground breaking about Mike's newest creation that it would go 20 miles/hour faster than the other fastest vee bottoms out there with the same power such as boats from Howard Custom Boats, Laveycraft, Sunsation, Hustler, etc. I love a good vee but a vee can't be made into a thing that has the efficiency of a cat.

Now that the boat is out of warranty, I think it will be a good chance to shut some of you doubters and show that it will exceed 112mph with a stage 3 system.
Clearly you did not look at the bottom enough, because its very different then current production boats.

However, while in pursuit of the race leader, the SNAV OSG boat spun out at the end of the opening lap to drop back into third. Also an outerlimits boat

This popped up when I googled, Outerlimits boat rolled or spin out....
These are realy agressive stepped raceboats, wich must be handlaed by care !!!!
By proffesional drivers and amateurs.
Very nice and fast boats, but has the search for speed gone on the behalf of safe handling????
This is not any diss of the brand Outerlimits, only what popped up on the google search :-)
