+1 for OL....
I personally think for technology and pushing the envelope, Outerlimits has done more than Cigarette has in the past few years...
They deserve to be #1...as they are in the industry. Good job guys!

I would agree with that. Unfortunately, Ol is not the perfect boat builder that they are claimed to be. I still think Nortech and Cig for example ,build a better overall boat.

They aren't perfect, but the boats for racing etc, are FAR superior to anything Cig or Nor-tech has even come up with....
The fit and finish on a cig is hands down the best in the business. OL Being second, however their new boats, they've figured out the secret...
Nor-tech...I'm not even getting into that here...they're...good, but OL is the Lamborghini of boats...and the Ferrari...not many can touch them in big water, period...
This is known....Overall I don't think Nor-tech and Cig are in the same league as Outerlimits...just been in the business longer...for cig..nortech has never really spun my gears..I have my own opinion for both builders, but as far as the Aronow branding, I feel OL deserves the rights, hands down...
After all, Offshore Racing wasn't about toilets and pretty down-stairs, it was about performance, pure and simple...
Nortech has never built a competitive race boat.. I won't remind of the disaster that happened......Cigarette did..but the minute stepped bottoms came along...that ended that...last cig that ran well in supervee....Skater did the layup...
You shouldn't even have them in the same sentence here...
Don't turn this into step vs no step...or some stupid argument over paint or whatever else it comes down to...the fact is..OL is winning, and they have been for a few years now...in the spirit of competition...either start competing or quit complaining...that's my humble opinion..
Their hull broke the LI Record...not cigarette...not nor tech...not fountain...and I'm sure if Aronow and the rights wanted this edition to go to Cigarette...they would've given it to em....that SAYS something...

I would never take anything away from Ol. They have done a great job with some boats and a not so good job with some other boats. I am not here to say anything negative other than they have their weaknesses too and are not the best boat builder on the planet . Back to the topic on hand, Ol deserves the recognition for their accomplishments, I just feel that this DA edition to be a little tacky and not the best approach for some well-deserved recognition that they truly deserve.
