Having sold the boats the X dimension is so high cause there is no where for the oil pan to go on the motor

I'll be there Aug. 14th. - Aug. 21st. - Staying at the Tree Tops Village at the Four Seasons. It would be cool to hook up. - You are right you are pretty limited as to what oil pans you can use on the 26 Awesome.

What oil pan are you using on this boat?

how can you be thinking of a 272 Baja and a 26 awesome cat in the same sentence. the Baja is a family truckster boat

. there are a dozen different bajas that are better than the 272 . I don't understand the thinking behind that .

Well......I knew I could get the baja close to the century mark, liked the lines, and the nice windshield to sit behind. Wanted one for years now.......

Just wondered upon the awesome, got impulsive, and bought one after reading some comments and getting good feedback. Glad I did!!

Can't wait to start modifying to the century mark and past.
