They don't call it the B.S. thread for nothing...I see where this is going....let's try to not get the thread closed!
In the words of "Jackie Moon" - EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY...
We're all boaters, United we post,boat,race
I just tried to give an honest comparison because I was a skeptic in the beginning. No one would say anything except it was the "best ride ever". They are two entirely different boats and can kill you in a heart beat...you can spin out any stepped boat if you do not know what you are doing...OLs can get very skiddish and if you don't know what you're doing at speed and they chine-walk...you cannot come out if it easily, you have to throttle it, this is the major mistake, you have to pump the throttles and throw the weight forward, until she settles back down. If you let off, the weight will move forward, come off the steps, and she will spin. Look at amf, and a number of other boats (yes AMF had turbines...major weight out of the rear, thus confirming my point.) A majority of the accidents I feel were owners now knowing the boats enough but this can be said for anyone driving a fast car or anything of the nature. You have to be responsible and very careful when running these things.
I want to make this clear, do not turn this into a Outerlimits vs everything thread...you want to at an example of sportsmanship and respect, look at miss geico turbine boat..what does it have. Cigarette #1... right on the side, everyone respects cigarette, OL does a beautiful job and have won their respect and place in the world of high performance boats , but others are not to be put down for inferior. I think OL could learn a few things from rigging from Cigarette, but that's my opinion. They are all beautiful boats, and it's a privilege to own any of them, some owners forget that...doesn't make you better, just makes you fortunate. If you want to sit here , make a web board for every particular owner...and look at the car forums, everyone thinks theirs is the best, mitsu, nissan...this isn't outerlimitsonlyoffshore.com, cigaretteoffshoreonly.com, nortec, mti,...I think I've made my point.
I am pulling out of this thread, because I know this will all be taken into a giant pissing match, so lets just skip it....

Scot ,we all get our hand slapped once and awhile, I hold no grudge on Dan and I hope he recognises my point and holds no grudge on me. It was nothing personal, I would have said the same to anyone on here. Just that..... usually its Jeff that we're slapping!

Kev,
I didn't say court judges, I said court jesters!
Keep up the good work though, it passes the time during these long cold months. I would think Boy Wonder has thick enough skin and recognizes the origin of the comments... He's a big boy, I'm sure he can hang in there. We'll get him to loosen up a little this summer, even if it takes slumming on something other than an OL for a day or two.
