Default New to me Baja

Pick up 250ES with and a 454 Mag yesterday as a birthday gift to myself

Boat is in excellent condition with exception of the bottom paint has flaked almost entirly off...plans to remove it. The trailer is also in need of some help but for $ I can work with it. Engine bielge and motor are super clean cabin interior looks untouched. Best part .... no Lavander Pink or Teal colors so popular in this era.

Going to run it this weekend and get to work on it after that.

Nice what motor and prop?

This came with a 19P Revolution 4 on it. Have not had a chance to get out and do any testing and never ran a 4 blade.

when i bought it it had a 454 MAG all original and it would pull a 23P 3 blade mirage plus with no issues. i also had a 24p 4 blade which it planed off faster with but wouldnt pull the top end RPM needed like the the 23 3 blade would.


that 19p should be WAY to small for a 454 in that boat unless you plan to tow tubes or skiers on it all the time.

have fun!

Both of those should work quite well, the 23 should be faster and it still planes off pretty easily also.

what motor is in it?

454 Mag Carb motor with closed coooling system installed new about 7 years ago.. Only uprage done at the install is Stainless Marine Manifolds with S/S Risers.

Bought it from the original owner and has been extremley well maintained.

Same year and color as my first baja a 1990 210svr 350mag (also bought from original owner). That was followed by a 1997 240 454mag, 1995 OL 24 454, 1993 240 502mag MPI. This one I plan to hang onto, reall like the layout and hull should ride as nice or better than the OL.

SO I have some experiance with the props just never a Rev 4 and thought as well this was too small.
