First OL
 

First OL Does anyone know of the fist OL and have pics of the history. other than the son of Hustler.

i know the name of the company came from a sutphen named "outerlimits".:party-smiley-004:

I thought it was a 37' named Speed Unlimited. Seems to me the colors were split down the middle. Definately the deck was. It was blue on one side and a light color on the other. I can't remember. White, cream, pale yellow. Something like that. I'm not sure who bought it originally but it eventually ended up in Providence. The owner of one of the sports bars right off 195. Not shooters, one of the smaller places by the river entrance.

Billy, the name did not come from a Sutphen as you think it did. If you didnt know, Outerlimits is originally from Long Island not RI. Speed Unlimited was not the first Outerlimits. It was one of the first 100mph ones though. I have pictures of the first 37 ever built that i will scan and post eventually.

Maybe I sit you down with TD,owner of the sutphen and he can tell you about the poker run he was on.a couple of yahoos in an outboard boat with helmets on,got their azz handed to them.and TD wasn't even trying.but he was a laughing.got a call a few days later.
Maybe I didn't know about the other almost sales either.guess you were wrong on those too.

i heard it was named after the ski run in killington

I heard they got the name froma Sci-Fi TV show :lolhit:

Outerlimits was a personal favorite at Killington!:evilb:

This could of been an interesting thread if it wasn't for sutphen30. Stop hating on outerlimits . It's annoying

OL boats are like a collage girl. WE all want it but only the rich kid can have her.

Annoying,I know the truth.if you want bs,keep on your present course.I'll just be laughing at you.

Mine too,I've had a few yard sales just before the end.the bar loved them.

Anyone know how many single step 37's were built???/

Dan I know I am but I also know that Im close. I recall reading there was smthing like 80 37's and 42 combined. Coulda been upto 120.

At one time there was a way to tell from the hin# the joker boat was last one????

How do you know your facts are "facts" when you've received them from a third party? Sounds like you're making an a22 out of yourself on someone elses word:eekdrop:. Please proceed, Kthanx.:whistle:

+1

so lets get back on track and forget about sutphen boy, he's just someone that wants to hear himself talk. i believe mine was number 17. post a pic of yours and what number you believe it to be.

Mine is #6

Your boat sure has come a long way sense then, I looked at your's when it was for sale in 2006, passed because of the salt water thing, found mine a month later, ran it for the summer & end ended up doing a total rerig anyway, go figure. No regret's still love the boat, & still pouring money in it, just cant help myself.

I'll have to look at my hull number. Don't know what number I have. Also need to find before pictures

Mine was an ugly mofo IMO.......Hull # 27.

Lookin good now

Might be one in this picture.

Thanks yeah I'm really happy with it. Yours looks great also. It's really easy to get carried away with the refit, but if you love the boat and plan to keep it it's worth it. Just when I thought I couldn't spend anymore money on mine, I dropped mid 5-figures on it this summer.

Thomas your boat looks great, just get it in the water!

Thanks Rich! I re-read my post and it sounded like I meant it was ugly then and ugly now, so I edited my post.

Man< You should have seen it when it hit T town!!! covered in snow and ice.
Damnit man I shoulda taken a Pic! Took 2 days to melt the ice in my shop.
Larry mopped up the floor nicely tho and I sure needed it>

Nope :)

It's a '98 right (forgot)? I'm surprised since the company started 1993. Only 1 boat a year the first 5 years?

This one?:

Cool article Rich

Let's keep this going, love to see more

I remover reading that article as a young kid ( yes had an early addiction )!! Awesome thread. I also remember a 37 on cape cod that had a huge shamrock painted on the hull sides. If I had to guess I'd say that was mid t late 90's? Have tvseen that boat in a while since though

Ah... That's remember not remover

think you so much

Still not the first one, I will post the pics tonight.
