Understood and agree but I've also already owned 2 CC's and still have the GoFast blood in my veins so every so often I see something and the gravitational pull towards a go fast resumes.
In this case I'm also actually boatless making many options more of a reality.

I really think more performance builders could keep people in their boats and off of the center consoles if we saw more open deck/bowrider type designs like the Active Thunder that was posted yesterday. It makes me wonder why more companies aren't embracing that style of design, or at least offering it. It seems like a model like this could be perfect for that.

I think a twin outboard v bottom is going to apeal to a small group of potential customers unfortunately. But who am I? No doubt , like everything else they roll out the door there In Bristol , it will be very nicely done and rock solid .

You sold your second 34 already? That didn't take long.

Not an apples to apples comparison, but consider this: Sport cats from 28 to 36 feet are selling for $300,000 to $400,000. Not something most people would have imagined all that long ago.

Again, not a direct comparison, but food for thought given that an outboard-powered SL 36 would include a useable cabin. (To some buyers, not all of course, that matters.)

Regarding the SL 41 with outboards, Outerlimits is finishing up its second one now. Those are two builds the company would not have had without the release of that package. (As for the financial details of the first sale, though I've gotten to know the owner, who is moving to a sit-down boat for physical reasons, pretty well, I would not presume to know them.)

No dog in this fight, other than that I wish Outerlimits and all boat builders in this segment nothing but success.

Carry on, gentlemen.

Ehhhhh I doubt it.

I love the AT idea and think it is great. I hope it sells well too.

That said it is hard to say it will steer anyone way from a CC if outboards and room to move was what you wanted and your a performance boater. My buddy took delivery of his New Statement 35 in Dec and we took it out for the first time this last Sunday. It has a cruise of 54mph with twin 350's. Tons of room, a great ride, storage space all over, and still has great lines. All in all that is very hard to beat IMO.

Matt,

Everything you stated is spot on but when I think of a 39' Nor-Tech Center Console and the fact it's $200k less w/ the same power but includes so much more (larger screens, windlass, fish boxes, washdowns, bow thruster, macerator toilet, multiple rod holders, sea-dek, more upholestry & seating, A/C, + many have radar or FLIR etc. So when you think of how many other features a CC offers vs a performance Vee it's a bit perplexing as to how they cost so much more.
I know OL's fit and finish is nice so maybe it's in the laminate materials and paint.

Can one put that much in laminates and paint? Must be some magical stuff

Matt Trulio

Fair enough, my friend, and your perspective is as more informed than most. Hope all is well.
