Talk about the ultimate great lakes / island go fast and you can comfortably overnight on it! Hope to see it around this summer.

Agree 100%. No one knows those boats better than those guys. I would be pretty intimidated after 2 owners pass away from boat crashes within a few years of each other. I'm sure they were both just very bad luck, especially since people in both accidents survived relatively unharmed but still. I also wonder why they haven't tried to get on the CC craze. Sure, everyone is doing it but they are doing it successfully and making a lot of money while doing it.

I think the CC craze has kept performance boat companies in business considering the I/O sportboat market has evaporated in the last 10 years. Sunsation has abandoned I/O stuff completely, not too many I/O products coming from the Cig/Nortech.

I think anyone can survive when times are good and it appears that Dan K is really stepping up. I agree that the center console market is the strongest and OL is missing the preverbal boat by not having a presence there. As for the owners dying in the boats, its hard to say but in my eyes OL does seem to be tied to a lot of accidents. MHO

Outerlimits website says "44CC" Coming soon. Seems they are getting into the CC market.

They built one that went overseas . Has trip yanmars I Beleive. I’m sure that first one wasn’t there ideal first build for a cc but being a custom boat builder you build what the customer wants. An outboard OL CC I think would be a Home run . There’s good people behind outerlimits and I hope nothing but the best for them. Keep up the good work !

I personally think the CC market is becoming saturated, there are many CC available.

You will, he goes to both PIB and KI alot

There are still less performance CC's out there today than there were I/O sportboat companies just 15 years ago.

I think the Mystic/MTI CC's are beasts.....too big, too much fuel carried, too much HP to get 70-80 mph speeds but they are certainly selling. I thought the same about Black Thunders also.

I would say it's more bad luck than anything.

* Mike's could have happen to any cat building company. At those speeds and with those cross winds, it went over. All the big companies have had a blow over in a big cat at speed. It's tragic but it happens.
* Joes was a low speed accident that everyone else walked away ok from. However from the story told it seems like a bad timing and bad luck scenario unfolded and sadly Joe Passed away from it.

There is a lot of OL boats out there running around just fine. They have a big enough sample size that I would not put this on their designs but just to bad and tragic luck.
