What can you tell me ?

there is a thread on here about it..guy wants to really sell it,,but pretends he doesn't so he sends newby's on here with 3 posts to generate interest..:party-smiley-004::lolhit:

The thread is a few posts up..you'll be able to see a few different pics..

Sorry, didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. I may be a new poster on OSO but I asked a legit question. I have been lurking on here for years, spend most of my time on other sites. Never really felt welcome here, since I currently own a Baja 322 and seems that people on here tend to snub Baja owners. I am now looking to move up and I am seriously looking for info on this boat. I can't seem to find the thread you are talking about. I know it needs complete interior and covers, but what other info can someone tell me.

Thank you Stormrider but, I have looked at that entire thread and nowhere in that thread is the boat I posted the link to mentioned or pictured. So, I guess i'm still confused and looking for info.

sorry... thot it was the same one.

Sorry to waste every ones time, but I have decided to pass on the boat and keep shopping.

I know of a Stiletto that runs great and has been updated. Look in the thinking of selling thread. I've been on the boat and am friends with the owner. You will not be disappointed...

He can contact me if he is serious about selling, only sounded like he was thinking of selling. Still not sure if a Stiletto is the right boat for me. I have had mixed reports. I haven't riden on one. Compared to a TG/TS how does it ride ?

All of our boating is done at LOTO, I need something to handle the weekend washing machine. Top speed not a huge issue, 80-85 top speed suits me fine. Something reliable with small blue motors up to 575. I was really leaning toward an early TG/TS, but the wife would prefer something with a little taller cabin, probably easier for me too since I'm 6'7", but I still like the TG/TS. 6 years ago we went from a 300 Sundancer to our Baja 322. I love the boat, but it's time to move up. I also see lots of buys on 42 Fountains, but I look stupid driving them, freeboard is to low. I stick up a mile over the windscreen. The search goes on.

We boat at LOTO also, I would definately look stronger into the stilettos, TGs are very nice, don't get me wrong, but I am 6'4' so I want as much freeboard as possible. Our 42 Legacy seems so deep and wide compared to the Hustlers and Fountains we had before. OL or Cig, I don't think you can go wrong for the type of boat you are looking for. Good luck with search, there are some buys out there still.

It's all about what suits you. We boat in a washing macine too! In my opinion the setup is better than a Cig eventhough I am not an OL fan! I don't do the middle man thing so email me and I'll either send you his # or give him yours. Hope you find what you want, I did and love it!

Had a 37, they ride hard....they take the water well but it's a rough ride...if it's light chop, or lake then I'd do it in a heartbeat, but In my personal opinion and experience...the single step was a rough riding boat...much like the first cigs with steps..

Its an outerlimits boat. :party-smiley-004:

You didn't...I used smile faces as a joke..if you were on here a little more you might know that, it was not directed at you personally.. I saw 2 of your posts and first one in 05...I also thought it was the thread that Stormrider posted..
I could be wrong so do not quote me. The boat you posted was just freshly painted, I remember calling on it months ago..if I am correct the guy is in realestate or construction... As to your Baja question..who cares what you drive..your on the water...

Maybe a 38 or 39 nortech would suit you better?

I want this to be a cash deal so whatever I buy I'm trying to stay in the 125K range. So I think the Nortech would be above my budget. I'm trying to find the best ride at LOTO in a 37-39' boat that's about as big as I can get in my slip. Otherwise I'd have to buy another condo with bigger slip and a new lift. I also don't want to buy a boat that needs a total rehab. Just need to be patient and keep looking, as of right now I'm still not boatless.

There is a 2001 37 Stiletto that just showed up in the classifieds that sounds like the boat you are looking for. It has 575 Mercs just freshened and fresh drives. The boat looks like it has been well taken care of and the asking price is $135k. It is Ad # 9. I have owned 2 37s and you would be very happy with that boat on LOTO. Good luck.

I owned a 1998 37 OuterLimits Stiletto (back in the day), side by side bravos, Stelling boxes, upgraded to 860+ or so per side, 114mph best ever speed, hull #24.

I thought and still think it is one of the best V-bottoms EVER, and I lived & ran off the NJ shore. It was a wave crusher and I though it was a very good riding boat.

I also rode in a tripple 37, alot of stern weight, ran nothing like the twin 37.

I just got in trouble for not being an OL fan! Ya really have to look at the one I mentioned...

Amazing... the guy asks a question and right off the bat nothing but jackass's ... good luck with ur search they are an awesome boat I hope to have one someday

Newby..read the post slowly before reacting.. We all thought it was another boat in question that the owner wanted to sell, then wanted to keep it, then wanted to sell, then wanted to keep it, then wanted to sell, then wanted to keep it..Paint jobs were similar color schemes....and when you are around here..when you see one of these..:party-smiley-004:..it is considered to be a joke..or a jab..but nothing serious.. This is a frickin chat board and some of you guys need to loosen up a bit..life's to short..:drink:

I know this isnt the boat inquestion here but Ive been on this boat one time and was nice. We ran 89 gps that day. I like the fact that he has N/A 540's.

JMS, check this PP out...
http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o35018-en.html

NOW THATS A NICE BOAT.. AT A FAIR PRICE..

The only problem with the PP it has those bmax drives!

agree..sell the drives..and pick up a pair of nxts..or do what Hustler does on their boats..get some ASD-7's..

The PP is nice and has my interest. Im not really scared of the Bmax drives, the new owner of the Bravo Shop ( John Pfahl) is a friend of mine and the shop has moved to Union, Ne (about an hour south of me)....He's a smart guy and will get the problems that the Bmax drives have had in the past worked out. I believe he has reengineered the ones on his 46 BT with trip 850's and they are now holding up. I still need to get rid of my 322 in order to make whatever I buy a cash deal. I got a couple of nibblers, but no one has shown me any $$ yet. I certainly don't want to own 2 boats, I've done that before and it's a pain in the a$$.

I ask this question and I'm sure everyone has their opinion. For boating at LOTO what is going to give me the best ride 38 TG/TS, 38 PP, 37 Active Thunder. The only one I've been in is the TG/TS. I don't know of any one who owns a PP and the only person I know that owns an AT has a 32. From what i have researched they all seem to be good choices. The AT and the PP would have more headroom in the cabin, but there is something about a TG that keeps pointing me towards them. Probably wouldn't go wrong with any of them.

Ive been on a few 38PP and 37OL.. Both boats are similiar in size with the edge going to the PP, with about 2-3" taller headroom (approx 6') when walking down in the cabin. These two boats are larger in size vs the 38 TG and 37 AT, in which I have owned both. Any of the 4 boats you would be happy with...+ and -'s in all designs.
The Tg has approx 5' headroom vs the AT at 5'4". The boat to stay away from is the single step TG..they only made I believe 6, and Im not a fan of it vs the twin step which is a superior design and ride. The 37 AT has a large single step...and it works great, designed by Harry Schoell..handles rough water extremely well. The newer versions like 06 and present the quality really has stepped up a notch...and I have been on many. The TG same thing, especially the later years since Braver bought the co.. The PP..has the straightest hull sides, is slightly slower with same power, and has a great ride..and is my favorite of the bunch..Ride all 4 if possible..look whats out there. The best bang for the buck is the AT...Good Luck. Jeff

You're not messing around, JMS! Ha, just stumbled on this thread and sounds like you've got the right boats in mind. If you'd settle for an old, tired 38 Scarab I might know a guy... keep us posted and good luck. Probably be some deals out there come this fall. Q

Newbie? Lol. Amazingly enough I didn't need to read the whole forum... just made a statement based on how I saw it... apparently some people jumped the gun and now feel bad for what they posted and now try to turn it around on the guy who defended the original poster... but cheers bc honestly I'm not upset or losing sleep over any of this

but cheers bc honestly I'm not upset or losing sleep over any of this[/QUOTE]


cool:drink:it's all in fun..

Q, your boat is beautiful, at least what I've seen of it and the candy on it is usually top notch too. I still need to off my boat to make this happen on a cash basis. Right know I'm just looking, seeing what's out there and where my best bang for my buck will be, unless someone wants to take mine on trade. I haven't rulled out the Stiletto yet. Going on the guys at PBB, they say I won't be happy with a Stiletto. TG TS is at the top of my short list, followed by PowerPlay and Active Thunder. What ever I get it's going to have to be the right boat with the right power and some balance to keep MrsJMS happy. I'll be at the LOTO tomorrow thru Tuesday, give me a call if your around. Should be over at Dorcey's Sat. night for the Baja deal, since I still own one. Stop by for a drink, I'll get the first round.

I think you would be happy with the stilleto, sounds like it has everything that you are looking for. I think the ride is great- it is a wave crusher yet fast with mild power. It handles like it is on rails, tracks straight, and turns well. I think the single step is a great design, it feels as stable as a straight bottom but faster.

Also, you can't beat the cabin. Plenty of headroom and nicest in class. There are some really nicely optioned 37s out there- A/C, heat, generator, shorepower, etc, etc. In my opinion, go with a twin boat with ext boxes, stay away from tripps.

Hey JMS... how about an update since the old girl is sold??? :party-smiley-004:

I will post an update when something happens.

I have a little seat time in a 02' TSTG @ LOTO,
they work well down there....so well that now
I want one:drink:

Update time: Deposit wired........................ Pending satisfactory personal inspection, sea trial and survey there will be a 38 Powerplay at LOTO:evilb:

I dont think these OL guys wanna hear that!

Congrats! there is no life like it:drink:

I really like the powerplays, they look sharp. Never rode in one but have heard a lot of praise from people who have. I like that they have a deep cockpit and a big cabin, that is also what drew me to the OL.
