Re: Outerlimits Working Hard On New Spped Record The Facts
i guess u can think about it either way. it allows the stern of the boat in a sense to sit back, but, at the same, lifts the rest of hull/running surface out. Think about how Hook makes a boat run flatter almost pitching the nose down. A boat w/ rocker will obviously run w/ more bow lift than a boat conventional bottom will = slighty less wetted running surface = more speed = KILO RECORD.

I still haven't seen any video of ANY Outerlimits at any speed over 140mph.
Actually, anything over 100mph would be a start.
Not a slam on OL or anything, I just haven't seen it. I am hoping someone will post a video of an OL running FAST. . . . I have seen the Fountain boat running FAST - pretty impressive.
