Default Future of Outerlimits?

RIP Mr. Fiore.

Is Outerlimits still accepting orders for new boats? Any word on who may be leading that company in the future?

Also, does Whipple have any stake in the ownership of the company?

I am just curious you know if somebody is going to make a large purchase SV52 if it will be backed with support etc in the long run.

Thank you for your time,

While it was exceptionally sad that Mike Fiore passed away, he left behind not only his family and friends but some truly talented individuals who have proven to be more than capable of running the company, and producing world class boats. You only need to look at the boats they have produced since he passed to see they are more than up to the task. I wouldn't hesitate for a second.

Whipple does not have any stake in the company. There are two major partners and one very small percentage partner. They build incredible boats and I wish nothing but the best for them.

They owned Hustler back in the day and the father may still be involved in OL so my guess good people?

We all miss Mike Fiore terribly, but ol is in very very capable hands from the top on down, suffice it to say " mike surrounded himself with great people". Several boats are in production right now, if I could afford it I would be ordering a 43 sv right now!

I ordered mine after Mike passed away and it was built ond delivered ontime, finished and rigged to the same hi quality as my first one that was built by Mike. Dan Kleitz , Paul Fiore and the rest of the crew are very capable and are continuing to produce boats of the highest quality and performance. Mike would be proud..

Friend of mine just dropped his boat off at the factory for some minor repairs last week. He said the factory was very busy with good pipeline of new orders. Brand is strong, I suspect they will be a major factory in the high performance boat market for a long time.

Kudos to Dan K. and team!

On top of the Factory people, there was a small dealer network that sold/sell Outerlimits boats as well, PERFORMANCE BOAT CENTER being one of them. They are VERY capable of handling any needs you may have. Warranty work etc many times is done at the dealer level. Outerlimits builds the hull and interior, from their everything else comes from outside suppliers, Mercury, Livorsi, etc...

Fear not...
