I thought it had turbines. I've seen the clip in their web site. She rides nice! Good luck!

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

I own a lowly Baja and I would take a fountain in a second. As far as bang for the buck I don't think any boat out there can beat a Baja, but definately not the best in any other respect. On the other hand if money was no object I would definately buy an outerlimits!!

A-MEN I GOT A 32 FEVER PACKING A THUOSAND HORSES AND I LOVE EATING THESE GUYS FOR LUNCH.

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

MAYBE THATS WHY YOU LOOSE THE RACE EVERY YEAR WITH YOUR SOURDOUGH HULL!!!!!!!! NOTHING HANDEL'S THE WATER LIKE A FOUNTAIN, BOTTOM LINE.

twin 500's beating O/L's??

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

THE SPEED COMES FROM THE RIDE AND THE RIDE IS SOMETHING NOBODY ELSE HAS GOT!!

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

I give up. This OL/Fountain war is ridiculous. All of our boating is done on the Atlantic ocean. I love my OL. Fountains have a hard time running in the waters we run in. OL does not claim to be a race boat. Skater makes the race boat hulls. So then, is a fountain race hull a true fountain? (Mind you their new poker run boat is sweet.) Again...OL does not claim to be a race boat, it's an elite pleasure boat/poker run boat. That's it. Simple question, what is the top speed of a production fountain? This thread has gotten out of hand. It's like the pissing match that NASCAR fans have about their drivers. Also, can you compare any NASCAR make car to their street car? Earnhardt Jr & Gordon drive Chevys, Marlin drives a Dodge, & Kenseth drives a Ford, show me where these cars are on the road. It doesn't exist. These cars, just like any other race vehicle, are built for race specifications. So this entire comparison has got to stop!!!!!!!!! Because this speed comparison doesn't exist! So quit it already!


ALSO, why do you come to a forum and your 1st 3 posts are pretty much bashing OL and praising Fountain? Their is a way to do things and a way not to do them! Post something in the Fountain forum if you love them sooooo much!

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

You tell 'em Dee!!! :drink: :drink: :drink:

I wasn't going to bring it up but....... :rolleyes:

Ole' wes176@bellsouth is forcing me to do so....

Hey wes, unfortunately some Fountains were passed by a 13' foot vee bottom "Bullet 130" packing 100hp in the NPBA NY Hudson River Poker Run.... :eek:
I felt bad at the time and even offered my assistance, but they couldn't picture getting towed in by my boat.... :D :D :D

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

i have watched a couple of vid's from the NYC poker run and all i see are skaters and OL's running up front, no fountains..

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

I would have loved to have seen you towing one of them guys!

I just don't get these guys. Just be happy with what you got, and enjoy your toy! I try not to put others down, but I just don't get some of the Fountain owners......It's like the NJ Devil fans, when they win they come out of the woodwork with their big mouths, otherwise you never hear from them. I guess some people need to feel better buy putting others down. I'm just happy we are in the water. And when we can get together and take a run together it makes for a great day, no matter what boat you got!

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

Fountains seem to be a dying breed in this area. There used to be alot of them around. Seems people are either going for heavier rough water boats or if they want the speed the go to the cat.

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

Hey guys remember me. The crazy that started this mes. Now that I got someone on my side ha ha. I could probably start the pissing match again but Im not.

Wes176- They do give us the guilt trip and make us sound like rude *******s. Mainly because they just have nothing to argue back with. Simple car comparison:
Lamborgini=OL
Ferri= Cig
Corvette=Fountain
We know who wins races and will soon dominate the pokerrun circut with all their new custom stuff comming out, they are late getting into the pokerrun scene. But yes we all know that the others are more exotic and will cross the street to look out, The OLs.

Anyway how is everyone else doin. Hope you all had a happy 4th. And yes nomatter what you got I hope you were havin fun out on your boats.

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

Wow, haven't read this in a while. whewww......

They're both good boats, just one is built better than the other.

I saw a 47 Fountain at the AC boatshow this year. Not for nothing but they should call Fountains "Resin Buckets". The glass work in the engine compartment was sloppy to say the least. I think someone dumped a bucket of resin in the bilge and forgot to clean it up. I've never seen an OL that didn't have an excellent glass job.

I've been on both and worked on both, my vote goes for the OL for both ride quality (don't need new kidneys) and build quality.

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

The Poker Run Fountain I heard was a cut-down, low profile boat....

I know I have not built boats in years, but I certainly had other ways of cutting down the deck height. :eek:


They just don't fair so well out of the water... :eek:

Wes, If all you came here to do is put down the OL, you're barking up the wrong tree...... :drink:

It's a tough crowd here.... ;)

I heard about bears taking a $hit in the woods, but a Fountain? :eek:

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

outerlimits rules end of story

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

Im happy my new comments didnt make anyone mad. Ols are wonderful amazing piece. So on a scorecard it might be like this. Racing goes to Fountain. Fit and Finish goes to OL. But in both they are close. I think OL should race more boats, and I think Fountain should make there boats a little more custom and make less boats. But oh well who cares, bottom line is that if you have either a Fountain or an OL you are doin something right to me it means success, I mean both boats kick ass they are just focus in different areas.

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

I don't think you understand. Fountain doesn't belong in the same breathe with OL. The only thing they have in common is that they both float.

Re: Outerlimit guys
 

This FTN/OL thing is crazy. Just like the FTN/Cig thing. All of these boats are diff animals. Run a Fountain in "normal"conditions and the boats will most likely run the fastest. In heavy water the OL or Cig will eat the Fountain. Designed for diff purposes.

As far as quality, the boats are very equal. I have cralwed around "no-see" spaces in Cig's and they have their issues. The premiums paid for the OL's has to do with finish, which takes more man hours (=$$$$$) and customization options.

How about everyone just enjoy their boats and the sport. As you all know, we have enough problems for now.

Now that is probably the best line I have read lately on this board!

(no ping on sutphen, my girls old, and she breaks....can't beat up on an OL...i'm too small...cig's and ftn's...well???)
