39 Outerlimits Quatro
Be sure to read March 2005 Powerboat and the outstanding article they have published on this fine boat on pg. 110. It truly amazes me that it is a "brawny boat" with a deep cockpit so you get the feeling of being "in the boat". The most notable feature is that this machine runs 96mph on Mercury HP525EFI's.
As they stated "you can get a brick to run 150mph with a pair of 1,500 HP engines". This boat obviously benefits tremendously from it's Kevlar/E-glass/Epoxy resin build along with a very efficient hull.
Imagine a boat with reliable Merc power that goes near a hundred miles an hour and it's a "brawny" big well appointed boat both in the cockpit and cabin.
It's got my vote for offshore boat of the year.

The article says 95.8 GPS, but in the one picture you can see the GPS and a number on there says 98.5 I don't know if it is the speed or not, but Powerboat has had typo's before. They have supposedly gotten 100 in perfect conditions. That is just plain sick!!!! Good job Mike and OL!!

Re: 39 Outerlimits Quatro
I'm not sure PBM will be handing out the awards as quickly as that ...
"....The trim tabs also came in handy , keeping the 39 settled at higher speeds and in turns .... the 39 required a bit more finnesse .... both our test drivers felt it necessary to use tab input at higher speeds ...."
"The 39 Quattro was not built for beginners ... owners who take the time to learn the nuances of the boat will love it .... "
Guys , remember, with PBM you gotta read between the lines a little ... It's a sweet lookin rig no doubt ..... but lets not get carried away here.

The key point...a 39' V-bottom that does 97 mph with only Twin 525's. It's a big brawney boat too with a plush well appointed cabin. This is the offshore to beat for efficiency and speed

Re: 39 Outerlimits Quatro
I'd like to publicly give a big Thanx to Mike for taking me, my wife and a couple friends out for a sea trial in the 39 last Friday morning at the Miami show. What a ride w/ the new 600's. Just skimmed over 2-4's, runs flat and smooth! Thanx again Mike, Tracy
