Although I haven't had the pleasure of owning one YET, so I cant say "first hand" but, I have been told that the factory support from OL is unbeatable. Because they are a "custom" builder who builds a limited number of boats per year the connection between the company and the customer is much tighter than you would find with a "production" builder who churns out 100"s of boats a year. The ownership groups are similiar, almost a fraternity (-:

Not dissing Fountain at all, they make a gorgeous boat that's flat out hauls and they have been wining races, setting records and building boats for a LONG time, but, there still aren't an Outerlimits, and honestly, NOTHING else is either.

Good Luck!

Epoxy lay up will not be a soft ride. Make sure you test drive one before purchase.

change oil 15 hrs Check valve lash every 25 hrs. replace springs and send rockers to jessel to exray and rebuild 125 hrs. 250 hrs rebuild top end complete. bottoms should be good for at least 400 hrs. With that being said if you dont take care of them and dont watch your gauges you can destroy them in 15 mins. Anyone tells you different needs to find a new engine builder!!
