Yep, that was us. Thanks, I think I seen you. We were next to the Customs boat.

We actually had 2 Concept 30s as Patrol Boats yesterday. Mine the White, Green and Blue and Showtime83 (Matt) with the White and Multi Colored Graphic.

If it happens, it will be just another Aronow surprise for the boating world, like Formula, Donzi, Magnum, Cary, Cigarette, Squadron XII, and USA Racing were. The man was always thinking ahead of everyone else for sure.

It has been said, OUTERLIMITS will see that the project Mike was working will come to market .
I was as the factory yesterday and the hull plug is near completion.
I look forward to the performance of this new boat as I believe it will live up to the OUTERLIMITS standards of performance.

Cant believe some of the bickering about this. Fiberglass Pontoons? Seating for skanks...and other farm animals. I/O's, clip-ons, I'm Xkts faster than you....Really?

Love mine...does many things well. Practical, easy to trailer, insure, clean, maintain. Plus, the walk to get to the anchor doesnt involve stepping thru windshields, cabin hatches, or a slippery deck. Not a bad thing for some, but us old, broken bodied people appreciate.
The "No upholstery except for bean bags" approach is workin out better than awesome. Throw the BB's in the console, hose'er off, (self bailing)..done. Boat was in the water all week in Va, not 1) drop of water was in bilge when I pulled her out. Did I say easy to maintain?

It doesn't matter if I have 1 or 10 people on my boat, the first one that uses a grab rail to pop the top off of their beer is the first one to get thrown overboard... Not sure how many CCs you've seen or what the water cops have where you boat, but I don't think anyone has ever mistaken my boat for the sheriff or Coast Guard....
/\ Agreed. Same situation here family-wise. Love having my Yellow Lab out with us (most of the time). Last line is funny...combination of my boat & S/T T-shirt had a CG AUX Capt thinking I was Sea/Tow last week.

Nice boat, Low Psi.

Sorry to interrupt....carry on.
