My hats off to both those guys, I know that it's gonna make Fiore NUTS trying to get that last 3/10ths :D Lets see, if we had just left off our underware and taken a sh*t and maybe lighter shoes and ten less gallons of fuel and..................

congrats bob and mike bazooka joe:)

When and where was that???
I didn't think there was a Kilo in Ft. Lauderdale??

That is AWESOME!! Smokin' FAST!!

This past April, during the OPBA's Spring Poker Run, I was a card boat for them and "Can You Hear Me Now" was a participant. I had anchored just off City Island, which was having the annual Sarasota Boat Show, and when he throttled up to run over to the Quay after picking his card up, I doubt if there was a window within five miles that wasn't rattling. I could feel "Outlaw" actually vibrating from the roar. It was glorious.

Can ya hear this? :D Rag's :D

Congrats Guys... Can someone please post the power??
Thanks.

ask and you shall recive :D

That is one bad boat!!!! Congrats guys!

More info on the OSO Home Page News Section

CONGRATS!!!!!

Is it the Outerlimits or the engines that made the difference? If that power was in another boat of your choice, could the same speed be had?

I taught that was a Cig term ???

Congrats on the performance.

it the hull that makes the differance, the motors can be in any boat that will handle that much power (not many out there)

Isn't the 42 OL like 4 feet longer than the 42 Fountain also? 2 for the beak and 2 for the swim platform.

Is there a half cabin in the OL?

cool vid clip. that thing sounds unreal. :cool: i got a kick out of the "thankyou" right after he shut it down at the end. :D :D

lapse of reason, no cabin in the 42 GTX.

cat . . a simple congradulations would do :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

(put it in a tiger, lets see what happens)
I knew this was going to come from someone. Plain and simple, a huge accomplishment by Outerlimits. Sure the boat had 1480 hp motors but what about the other brands, have they had huge power but not good results, or is it only OL they put this amount of power in? What motors did the fountain have in it that held the kilo record until this weekend?

The fountain that set the old kilo mark was a raceboat with a pair of 1700 hp blower motors not a pleasure boat. I am sure if some other manufacturer could run those speeds they would have done it by now.

xxx You are right and that is an impressive run period.

1700's that makes OL run even more impressive w/400 less Horsepower

Congrats to Mike Fiore and his crew. Those are some real impressive numbers.

Just a question here, What are the differences between a race boat and a pleasure boat?
Neither of them have a cabin,I'm sure they both run on race gas,crashboxes or transmissions,one of them has seating for more than two and possibly a stereo.
I think the term "pleasure" boat might be thrown around a little too loosely. How about purpose built or poker run boat?:)
