Re: Baja History "The Thread"
The Famous Baja 420.
Way ahead of it's time.
If you want to know if Baja is a quality product, you need to look no further. There are a LOT of these still on the water and they have a real presence.
I'm not sure that BlackThunder was even on the drawing boat when this massive wave crushing luxury performance offshore cruiser hit the waterways.
Here is an example of a 1991 model.

Re: Baja History "The Thread"
When SKATER wanted to build their first V-Hull, who did they go to for the mold?
Baja of course.
From what I understand Baja in Ohio has the state of the art CNC machine large enough to produce a perfect mold.
This is one sweet boat and you can see the beautiful Baja lines all over it.
The cockpit looks like a cross between a 36 & 40 Baja Outlaw.
Could this be the next Baja?
Will we see a division in the future offering stepped hull boats?

The only one I have seen built with 525 power was "Spiderman" and it was a light layup easily running triple digits. It dominated in 2004 on the race circuit.
All the others I have seen built have BIG power and are easily in triple digits.

Re: Baja History "The Thread"
The spiderman boat was supposed to BE a Baja NOT a Skater but Baja backed out. too bad. The original drawings of the boat the way it was going to look in pleasure form were interesting. It had four seperated seats with a solid piece of fiberglass running down the center of them. When Baja decided not to go forward with the project Skater swooped up the hull added thier own deck and whoola, the 399 Vee Skater was born. Nice boat with a little Baja heritage. But dont bring this topic up to the haters, it puts them in a tail spin. 
Doc, you have those original drawings?

Re: Baja History "The Thread"
By the way, anyone know if they ever built any 40 Outlaws with staggared twin set up instead of the tripples?
