Good memory "no limits"! A couple of friends and I dabbled in the boat business back in the late 80s early 90's. We were a dealer for Hustler. Paul and Mike were instantly more than business acquaintances, they were friends.
We did bring a 32 NO DISCIPLINE & a 40 to the Tan Tar A boat show and then had them displayed in the Kansas City Sports Show that next winter.
Here is a picture of Mike in a 32 when we went to Long Island to meet them.
Mike ran a 32 Hustler "UNTOUCHABLE", 750's with Arneson's, in the Shoot Out around this time as well.

We lost a great performance boat innovator and true gentlemen. RIP Mike.

like others I keep thinking about this and how sad it is to have a life so full of living cut short. I keep remember things like how we toured the hustler plant before Outerlimits was started and how we probably got to sit and see the first ever Outerlimits built. I wish we had a picture of that boat now and remembered more about meeting what must have been a 24-25 year old Mike Fiore.

One of my most memorable boat rides in big water was with Mike at the throttles.

Sad sad news

Rest in peace Mike

Yes! No Disipline....think it had 454 mags and bravos. I knew I was off on the name...I remember the boat like yesterday....I loved the 32 hustlers! Whoever bought it had it in a dock about the 7mm not far from me. A lot of the guys on the dock at Tan Tara has hustler "speed by design" jackets. I think this was the 32 (speed by design) that raced in California with innovations and bravos on boxes....the drives were pink....too cool. I remember Mike being there....seems so long ago.

Rest in peace. I view death as a celebration of one's life, and you lived a life worth GREAT celebration.
