I was busting your balls about boats. I was calling you a brand loyal ***, which is an opinion that i've gotten from reading your posts here. One which I would bet a lot of people agree with. It's not personal. Personal would be saying something like... "Man, if you're that up tight about the word dildo you should probably get over it and learn how to **** your wife right before she leaves you."

Just some facts to throw out here.
1. As someone already mentioned, no one knows if those 1550hp motors in the fountain were actually 1550's. OL is doing this would STOCK 1650 Mercury motors, no guessing games on what they're "actually running".
2. The fountain was purpose built vs. Outerlimits PRODUCTION 43sv.
3. When Reggie broke the record, was that "corrected for technological advancement". Laughable statement.
4. Most importantly, haters will be haters!!

I agree in part with statement #1. We were told that motors that Fountain used were 1550's, I dont' it buy for a minute that there is NO guessing that the that Mercury 1650's won't be dialed up for the run, but how would any know except for the participants, so that is just speculation.
Statement #2, are you kidding me? An Outerlimits PRODUCTION boat? It is a custom builder, which makes custom boats, which we have been told on OSO are all laid up equally with the same bottom, so it is a custom canopied boat. That comparison is nonsense. And if it Joe Sgro's boat, and I like Joe, his boat is anything but production (that is speculation on my part), but what is our definition of PRODUCTION? Formula is a production boat builder, OL is not.
I think OL will break the record, but as many have said, it was growing tiresome through years on OSO hearing about how the OL camp would win in Super V, and year after year nothing but failure, how OL is the fastest, and the crying when Stu Hayim broke the record for the run around Long Island by the OL people, so now maybe in a one boat field the OL will find a way to rise to the top. I feel fairly certain the OL boat will break the record, all it takes is money, engineering, horsepower, testing, and the guts to drive it, and Joe Sgro (if he is driving) is pretty fearless behind the wheel of boat. I loved it when he ran the 27' Manta Fever in B class back int he day, that man can drive a boat.....
In all fairness I would be proud to own an OL, I just would not be a blow-hard about it!

When fountain took the record was their boat equal length and power from the previous holder?
Last I thought this was for a V-hull record. Run what you brung and the best set up will be rewarded.

Let see if they beat what the Cat Killer did .. ( a 47 fountain w big power) It ran 170 in race trim. Why is OL even saying anything about the power. Unless they will be offering the Kilo boat packge for sale to the public
Cuddos to everyone at Outer Limits for Running a Kilo run . . More Boat manufactures should grow a set and step up to the plate like OL !!
