Joe Sgro of outerlimits from Rhode Island critically injured. After the death a couple years ago at the ozarks, this hurts deeply for outerlimits. Happened during a poker run in Florida.
Praying for his recovery.

***edit*** he has passed away. The second owner of Outerlimits.

Hate to say it but these super tunnels may need canopy’s or insurance is going to kill them

They were mostly V bottoms till the later years when they started building some awesome looking and running cats. Top quality boats for sure.
Joe was extremely instrumental to company when Mike passed. Very, very sad.

Few years ago I got the once in a lifetime chance to drive a 42' V-hull Outerlimits with triple 800 sc's. That thing was really a work of art. I can see what compels these guys to build them, and then want to run these machines to their limits and sometimes beyond. RIP to all of the people that have died while chasing their dreams. Sad to see them go.....
