I think that is JCPERF in the background on the Bayliner... he is the fat guy in the front seat with the gay hat on :evilb:

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

talk now is, that when OL makes the attempt on LC, Reggie Fountain will be there too...

Can't imagine him not bringing a boat, my source will let me know when it goes down!!!

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

41' Raptor. A full profile bad a$$ looking hull. Not some stripped down chopped deck V.

90 mph on twin HP 500s.

If I had the money, that's where I'd put it. :cool:

Fountain and Outerlimits can do whatever they please with their speed records. If I was going to lay down big money for a go fast V, I wouldn't be shopping for a hull by either of them.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Who's your source, Margium (sp) ? ;)

I find it hard to believe OL will let Reggie know when they attemp to make a run, for fear he will bring a boat with him. :D

But if it does happen, I wanna be there.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

I know, I said they both raced before and did very well. When I was down at Nortech picking up my boat I told Terry that I would like to get into racing some time he looked at me and said please don't do it in a NT they don't have the time to mess with it.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Nope the water patrol officer, in charge of closing the area off... :evilb:

Sign4boat; is there a site I WON'T find you? :D I still need you to come over & do my cowl!!!

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Uh, doesn't everyone within a 3 state radius check out the Lake Cumberland Board? I do all the time, just don't post there.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Did you, see or hear of anything there, before i was told?

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Yeah, I totally love the lines on that boat. A classic look taken into the 21st century. And wow, talk about a clean engine installation! :eek:

The interior setup on the boat in the pictures is pretty weak. I'm guessing that if you're interested in buying one they'd set it up however you wanted it though.

Personally if I was going to buy one, I'd throw five or six standup race style bosters in the cockpit, and deep six the engine cover upholstery. I'd have them build an engine hatch that matches the lines of the rest of the boat and fits into the engine area of the boat with more of a seamless look. Not entirely sure how I'd dress up the cabin. I probably wouldn't leave quite as much carbon showing through....

As far as paint goes, I'd probably go for some sort of urban camo theme that starts at the stern and the fades away as you head forward. Naturally all the cockpit upholstery would match the camo theme. The name "RONIN" in bright red would splash over the camo background, running from the side of the hull up onto the deck somewhere around the middle of the boat. I would probably use some grunged out font for the name. Not sure exactly what font.... gritzpop perhaps?... probably something I draw myself... as long as it doesn't look anything like cursive. Seems like everyone has some cursive scripted font in their paint job these days and it's getting a bit overplayed. I love the work that TAOD does, but I think they need to do some research and realize that there are millions of fonts out there. If I didn't know better I'd think TAOD only knows of like 6 fonts.


Can you tell that I daydream about this boat a lot? :rolleyes:

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Incredible example of logical thought. :(

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Come on Outerlimilts , Where ready , Are you

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Mr OL himself was on here, why didn't he just tell us himself what's going on? No disrespect intended.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

Me with my bulging muscles... she slowly approached the bed.... :eek: :eek:


GET A ROOM!

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

So what's the deal, was there an attempt this weekend? Trying to confirm a rumor.

Rush, that was an old quote from Mike after Reggies run from this summer.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

It was canceled , Motor :(

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

The weather wasn't the best today.... :( :( :(

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

So there WAS an attempt this weekend and another motor smoked? Wasn't fer sure if the rumor was about the last time, or a new attempt.

S4B, don't know where.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!
 

I'm sure Mr.Foure and Mr. Fountain have both seen this thread.

Re: Outerlimits to try and Break the Speed Record !!!!

Somerset Commonwealth-Journal, Feb. 11 '05...

By Bill Mardis

Plans to set a new powerboat speed record on Lake Cumberland last Saturday have been temporarily postponed.
Outerlimits Offshore Powerboats of Bristol, RI, was planning to send a new 47-foot V-bottom GTX to Lake Cumberland in southwestern Pulaski County to try to break the existing speed record of 171.883 mph.

“We postponed for several reasons,” said Paul Fiore,
father of Mike Fiore, president of Outerlimits. "Some of the easons (for postponement) were technical and others vere concern about debris in he lake," he said.

Paul Fiore reiterated that it vas a postponement not a cancellation of the speed event on sake Cumberland.
"I believe a new date will be set. The course is laid out sown there. Everthing is eady," he said.

Fiore was correct about lebris on the lake. Walter Jaulton, chief of the Nancy Volunteer Fire Department and a Commonwealth Journal reporter were at the site Wednesday and the five-mile stretch of water on which the speed record attempt would be made was covered with floating logs and other debris.

Outerlimits wants to break the current record set last year by Reggie Fountain of Fountain Powerboats of Washington, NC. Reportedly, the speed mark was accomplished on a body of water near the Fountain Powerboats plant.

The course marked for the. speed record attempt is on the main body of Lake Cumberland just west of the confluence of Fishing Creek, according to Bill Tucker, a salesperson for Lake Cumberland Marine, local retail outlet for high-performance boats at 125 Clifty Road.

The 47 GTX is described as an advanced high-tech, off-shore attention getter and the ultimate in fast V-bottoms. Its quarter canopy is designed with a sleek, low profile, providing a low center of gravity and less wind resistance. The recently introduced 47 GTX is constructed of epoxy resin so that it will ride smoother at higher speeds.

Mike Fiore has already piloted a GTX to a speed of 161.88 mph. The 47 GTX reportedly cost $1 million and is powered by two, 2,000 horsepower, alcohol-burning engines.

Bob Russell was scheduled to steer the 47 GTX during the now-postponed attempt at breaking the speed record on Lake Cumberland and Scott Conrad would have operated the throttle.

The distance over which the speed would have been registered is a kilometer, or 0.62 of a mile. The kilometer area is in the center of a five-mile straight stretch of water along the Pulaski-Wayne county line. The scheduled event was sanctioned by Offshore Super Series Powerboat Racing Association (OSS).

The powerboat apparently would have picked up speed along the five-mile, straight stretch of lake, passed the kilometer area at full throttle and then turned around and returned at high speed. An average of speeds on two trips along the marked kilometer course would have determined if a new record were established.

Tim Tarter, owner of Nancy Guide Service, said this section of the lake was probably chosen for the speedboat record attempt because it probably is the straightest stretch of water on the lake.

Randy Hartmann, owner and president of Laki Cumberland Marine, agreed He said the area chosen was a "protected, predictable area."

When and if the event is rescheduled at the same place on Lake Cumberland, onlookers can see the speeding boat from a small boat ramp near the end of Keeney Road in southwestern Pulaski County.

Linus Keeney, a longtime resident of the area, said the boat ramp can be reached by taking KY 235 off KY 80 at Nancy; go about six miles and turn left onto Pole Bridge Road at Oak Grove Cemetery; proceed about a quarter of a mile and turn right onto Keeney Road (first road on the right); travel about a mile anc turn left onto Ramp Road that leads over the hill to the boat ramp.

Safety is a prime concern for a powerboat traveling in excess of 170 mph. For the now-postponed event, two helicopters were scheduled to be in the area as well as units from Somerset Fire/EMS and divers. Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were also cooperating, according to Hartmann.

It was just crazy to plan that at this time of year on that lake. The debris is horrible!
