I'm so sorry to hear about this terrible news. It's extremely shocking; he was way too young. I never met Mike, but I've always respected his impressive accomplishments. Not many people make it in the boating business, let alone make it to the very top. I've watched him on various boating videos over the years, he seemed like a nice, down-to-earth, good guy. It's a big loss to the offshore power boating community. Condolences to his family and friends.
RIP.
RIP.

I am so terribly saddened to hear of the news of Mike Fiore's passing. I bought my Fountain from him last December after he took it in a trade on an SV52. Ironically, I didn't buy one of his company's boats, but that didn't matter. He gave me a great tour of the OL factory in Bristol; bent over backwards to make sure I was happy and we shared a bunch of stories about boats, our families, etc., it was one of the best days I've ever had. The last thing he said to me when I left the factory was "you're part of the Outer Limits family now.. we'll be friends for a long time"...
I didn't know him long and I didn't know him well, but it was an honor to know him, period. The boating world has lost a passionate innovator and great friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and the whole crew at OuterLimits...

Words cannot describe the sadness we feel in our heart over the loss of such a wonderful person. Mike was the kind of guy that would always help out another boater when called upon. At one of Sarasota's poker runs a few years back, we had a problem with one of the new 1075's in our Fountain. I talked to Mike, and he came down to the boat, figured out what the problem was, said he had the sensor, gave it to me with the tool to replace it, and would'nt take a dime from me when I insisted on paying him for his help. There are'nt very many people like that left in this world, and Mike surely was on the top of that list of wonderful people.
Mike, you will be truely missed by the whole performance boating community. R.I.P. my friend.
