Default Outerlimits Breaks LOTO Shootout Vee Bottom Record

This past weekend at the Lake of The Ozarks Shootout Outerlimits broke the current Vee Bottom record of 139mph at the event The record was previously held by "Doc" Janssen in his Saratoga Stampede Fountain and Bill Betz in his SV43 Outerlimits. On Saturday Dave Scotto's SL52R powered by Mercury 1650's set the bar with a 149mph pass. Then on Sunday the Outerlimits SV43 race boat powered by Mercury Racing 1350's, with Mike Fiore on throttles and Joe Sgro on the wheel made a pass of 152mph. Shortly after Scottos 52 made one more pass of 150mph. Congrats to Mike, Joe, and Dave on a very successful LOTO Shootout 2013 from all of us at Outerlimits Powerboats. Here is a link to Dave's story by Matt Trulio, and Matts re-cap of the weekend.

Congrats! The coolest thing about all of this is that the 52 was pulling into Tan Tar A at 10pm with a boat load of people, quietly I might add.

Who would have ever believed that you could be out cruising around at night with 1650's!

What better way to back up the 150 claim. High "testing" numbers on a new boat can be somewhat subjective, set in perfect conditions, long run ups and tall props etc. Doing it again in a mile blows away any concept of smoke and mirrors. Wonder what one would do with triple 1350's??

For the record, just in case it's unclear, both the open SL 52 and the SV 43 broke the record. Very cool stuff.
