That boat ran great with merc power in it, unfortunately that is not the power that the owner chose to put in it. It ran 160+ with merc 1200's, and that's a fact. The only adjustments made to the bottoms of OL cats were to correct differences in CG on the two turbine boats due to the different rigging required for the turbines, as far as rumors go, they are just that. For the record the boat was never put up for sale, there were other circumstance that led to the boat being available back in the day and present time. |

That video doesn't show the OL passing them in open ocean and then pulling back to a steady 135 mph cruise. But it doesn't matter, we were just out there running the boat and enjoying the poker run. Nothing to prove, or we would have run it with some boost. The boat was and is set up at 1500 each with 7 psi boost, not even close to its potential, but it was the first long distance run on the motors and we thought we would give them a proper break in.

the author of the quoted post was not in the Outerlimits, I can assure you that this isn't mike Fiore, Joe or Patrick, Dustin or Mike the engine builder. But it must be true because somebody posted on the Internet.

Gotcha. That makes sense. It was confusing because there is also info about a MI owner. Happy Holidays Fred

Pro 1 wasn't in the boat, and I found out after my post that his friend was in the boat for 1 leg, I was mistaken....it happens.

The Ol ran hard for a while and ran several boats down (including the statement) and then settled in at a cruise of 135-145, the statement subsequently passed the OL, but the Ol was not running hard nor did they have any desire to. That was the first time those motors were run and we had no intentions on running WOT all the way to KW.

How did the BPMS and boat handle and perform? Would you put mild sterling power in and racepaks or merc 1075's? Any advice would be appreciated. |

No, it was one of my clients. :drink:
I wish him the best of luck with the boat... despite all the chit talk here, I think it was a fantastic deal (assuming he worked them down some) on a really cool boat. I'm looking forward to seeing it back on the water. 1350's going in it? :cool: |
I was looking at the boat a couple of weeks ago at liquiddators and i can honestly say that up close that boat is downright awesome looking. The word "Impressive" comes to mind. Congrats to who ever bought it.
