This is the nicest v bottom boat I've seen!! It just looks fast sitting there on the stands. The only negitve is that I'm sure the price tag will match is awesome looks, but I'm still curious. Anyone seen pics of the cabin?

I would not underestimate the aerodynamic advantage this and other later OL boats have. I can tell you in our SVL at 90 MPH 78% of our thrust goes to water drag and 22% to wind drag. As you reduce the wind drag the speed does not increase at the rate the numbers would imply because the water drag is greater.
It is very important to have a good aero design to get max results not just for wind drag but also for where and how much wind drag creates pressure (weight at speed) on the hull.

OuterLimits SV29 - Hull Layup Analysis
.
The hull and hull pieces are built from epoxy, E-glass, and carbon fiber...and are sent into an autoclave at 150 degrees for 18 hours.
Then the hull, and hull pieces are chemically bonded using proprietary adhesives. Once glued, the entire structure goes back into the autoclave at 150 degrees for 18 hours again.
From mold to out-the-door in just 3 weeks with the above process
WOW!
This is bleeding edge technology!
No wonder there are patents to this layup schedule.

Funny car bodies?
I believe I heard OlL is also building hi-tech funny car bodies for some big name drag racing teams and the money and experience there makes for some good "ruboff" into their hull building science.
