I applaud OL for expanding their product line- up options; I appreciate offshore performance boatbuilders who are willing to try and garner new entry level (entry level for an OL), buyers to help create brand loyalty. This is a smart move with a proven product, the 29’. I wish them success

customer choice and keeps the price point down for an entry level buyer if the opportunity arises. I think the performance will be fine with the 300's in my opinion

Dozen bolts, a few connections and hoses and, of course, a bigger wallet you can have 450's swapped out in short order.

Probably runs pretty decent with the 300's compared to the single i/o....

But the 400R is not horribly expensive. IDK what the 450R costs. "Performance will be fine" is subjective. ;)

The 400R is "horribly" heavy compared to the 300R. That is why I went with twin 300's on my 2750 LaveyCraft vs the 400's.
Mine is a 90mph boat, and performance is fine, but 100+ mph sure would have been GREAT!!!!!

This Outer Limits SV29 should be close to 100mph, if not over by a few with 300's.

I would think the 300s would balance nicely and unless you're a fanatic about WOT speeds, 300s will push this boat plenty fast. Look forward to the performance numbers.

100 mph with 600 hp in a 29 foot vee? If OL can accomplish that then I'm all for the 300s.

Speed is great but I guess Im just getting older now and its not as important. Off shore handling to me would be more important. Especially seeing some of these video's of boats getting pounded in rough water doing 50mph. 100 mph is great but how often are you doing it? I dont have a go fast boat so im more talking out of spectator stand point. I do have a big water back ground on sail boats but that hardly makes me qualified to be an expert.

Looks like the props are turning in, I wonder which ratio lower units, who’s version 5 blade and pitch, asking for a friend. 😀

EXACTLY... I never seen where being the "Big Dog" (fastest) on a lake paid anymore than the next guy....140mph performance V still spends 95% of it's cruise time in 3K-4K rpm.

I think the new owner has a great boat.
