Survey watch points

Catalog stub "51 GTS" not published by OEM

medium risk · documented · documentation

Opened manufacturer and editorial sources do not publish a model named 51 GTS; current OEM lists SL/SV/SC models, and the historical ~51 ft go-fast is named 51 GTX.

Research opened archived Outerlimits manufacturer pages and a Speed on the Water feature. None publish a production model titled 51 GTS.

Current OEM Explore Models (2024 archive of outerlimitspowerboats.info) list SL/SV/SC names only. The historical manufacturer GTX page and later editorial coverage name the comparable ~51 ft go-fast 51 GTX.

Canonical strip dimensions on this stub remain unsupported legacy placeholders and stay in missing_fields. Do not transfer SL52 or 51 GTX figures onto this file.

  • Confirm any surveyed hull nameplate / build sheet model designation before treating catalog stub 51 GTS as identity.
  • Do not assume catalog dimensions equal SL52 or historical 51 GTX without matching OEM documentation for that hull.
