Outrage is a nice looking boat!  I'd love to build one myself, if only I had the time.  In spite of my complaints about handling of IO's and OB's, I still love OB's and Outrage is maybe the best example out there.  I would also stretch it.  Barry has said you can stretch 10% just by increasing the frame spacing.  Thunderbolt would be the ultimate, but it's way out of my reach, time-wise.  A year or so ago, there was a lady building one, but dropped the project and was offering it for sale.  Might take a look for it, if you're interested.
