This was an amazing performance for all the Outerlimits at the 2013 LOTO Shootout.... Remember these boats achieved these speeds in 1 mile, and only with a 30-40mph start.
When we ran the Saratoga Stampede ( 42'Fountain race boat w merc 1200"s) 139mph, was the best we could achieve in 5,280 feet, OL raised the bar to new levels in both a pleasure and race boat.

Dustin's boat did not make it. It is still being finished.
the race 43 had very little to no testing, the motors were dropped in that week and it was late to show up to the shootout. With some tweaking and a better run it would be faster.
With a proper set up and clean run the boat will go faster. The good news is that even with these issues the SV43 killed the previous V bottom record :-)
The SL52 is a complete boat with all the stuff. Its crazy to sit in that boat knowing it goes 150mph. Just amazing.

Outerlimits has the best bottoms in the industry right now but I know a bunch of Cig owners that do not care for the styling of the OL, and like the old school south florida Cig look. If OL took a 38TG, 42X, or 46RR deck, splashed it, and put the Cig deck on one of their OL bottoms, I think they would pull some of the Cig market their way.........

Also, keep in mind, when Bob Russel did his 138mph at shooters in 2003, or when stampede did it's 139mph or Bill Bet'z 139mph in his 43sv, the radar guns always read low (these 3 runs would have been 140+ on the new guns). The run that we had at 139mph in our Black Thunder this year or the 52sv that ran 138mph last year were on the better radar guns, so it's not a completely fair comparision (more generous this year and last year).

Any video of either one running. That 52 is stunning. The lines of it sitting at the dock are incredible. Congrats to the OL crew
