I drove one at 132 and it was so amazingly smooth I could have taken my hands off the wheel

Disagree. Bad press is bad press and OSO is the offshore king of websites.

on a side note that Super Legarra in the classifieds with the teak floor is stunning. Someone ive always admired on here that does a great job with customer relations is Ssalesmanship. If i was ever to get back into the boat buisnaess i would love to ick Terrys brain he handles himself with class.

No excuses..if you are told this is one of the best technical laid up boats out there, ...do as you represent. Jeff
No Jeff, I have no idea how Ol handles the tank issue. The 3 Ols that I have owned had aluminum tanks with no issues. I will tell you the 1st OL that I bought had some issues in the cabin where the glue turned the upholstery different colors. With no questions asked Mike took the boat back and replaced the entire cabin upholstery at no charge. So do not hurt your stomach with your LOL!!!

Agree, a good representation for NorTech...and nuetral when it comes to sales..not putting down another company, and showing you the benefits that NT has to offer..they will tell you upfront..they will never be the fastest..but what they lack in speed, they make up in ride, the service is excellent, and make you feel that you bought a great boat at a fair price. When I was sick, Terry and the NT crew went out of their way, sent me flowers, and encouragements,.. and many months later a Christmas card. Class act all the way.

Bottom line is OL certaianly builds a one a kind boat, and my hat is off to them for perservering through these tough times. As for Dan, its sounds like hes a young enough guy to learn and like a said in my previous post. Next boat show, poker run etc etc. Take some time to talk to some of the other customer service guys from other companys. competion or not there is a tremendous amount to learn. good luck Dan

I'll answer one by one. I know how many new boats are moving and used ones they are moving, no prices mentioned. How do I know? Very good friends with dan, we speak often. I never worked there, went to school in the same town, spent a good amount of time there. No marketing background, but Dan does!! I do not speak to mike personally, but I would when I saw him at the shop. He's a great guy and I can't say a bad word about him. Lastly, I don't need a marketing background, have to talk to mike, or work there. It's my opinion. I'm not stating facts, just like you and everyone else on this thread. OPINIONS.

Johnny, believe Peter. I could care less. Fact is, you don't know
If 115 with 525's is true or not ( neither do I ). What I do know
your saying is the 399 skater is faster than the 42 fountain raceboat with 525's, which I do not believe. That's my
Opinion of course. Fountain guys, WELCOME!

Phantomchoas, commercial break?
