OUTERLIMITS POWERBOATS DEBUTS THE NEXT EVOLUTION OF RACING THE SV-43
25.02.2008 |
|
The new boat was designed and built for Giancarlo Cangiano of the Italian OSG Racing Team to campaign in the 2008 Powerboat P1 circuit. “We gained much in our first year of racing in Europe,” said Mike Fiore, owner and president of Outerlimits, “We built our international presence, signed an exceptional Italian World Championship team to represent Outerlimits in 2008, and we discovered some ways to adjust our very well-received SV-40 for the longer distance endurance races and rough water in Europe. The SV-43 is the evolution of our model for the Powerboat P1 Evolution Class.” After Joe Sgro won the 2006 OSS Vee National and World Championships in the SV-40, Outerlimits modified the canopy and raced the boat in Europe in 2007. Sgro will join Cangiano at throttles this year in Europe. “As a 25-year veteran racer who knows the intricacies of this boat, Joe will provide an extra competitive edge in the cockpit” states Fiore, “He and Giancarlo will prove that our low-profile, gasoline, Mercury Racing-powered hull can out-perform anyone in the Evolution class.”

| The corresponding power will also evolve as Mercury Racing is again teaming with Outerlimits for a power-to-weight package to accommodate the new boat. The European certified EU662 engines with NXT1 drives were introduced in 2007, and according to Mercury Racing President, Fred Kiekhaefer, “Outerlimtis and Powerboat P1 offered a great way to show the world an emissions compliant powerhouse.” “We build our boats from carbon fiber and epoxy to be strong and light,” says Fiore, “So we are building this boat to conform to the rules of Powerboat P1, rather than adapt our own model as we did last year. We are pleased that the rules changes for 2008 include a full canopy so we can ensure the safety of our racers and use the original canopy we designed for the SV-40,” he adds. Cangiano visited Outerlimits’ Bristol, Rhode Island factory to learn more about the construction of his new boat and was impressed. “The team at Outerlimits is extremely dedicated to building the best boat on the market—anywhere! I am excited to have the team who will bring this technology and design to Europe as we are also very dedicated to winning the Powerboat P1 World Championship again!” he says, “I can’t wait to get this boat in the Mediterranean, though I look forward to testing it in the Atlantic Ocean in February. Miami will be an exciting show!” Dean Loucks of The Art of Design is creating a new OSG/Outerlimits paint scheme for the Italian team who may announce an additional sponsor by the 2008 race season. The color scheme incorporates the team’s penchant for bright red—the color of passion. “We anticipate a very successful season!” says Cangiano. |
