That boat has been sitting at Competion Marine in St. Charles, Missouri for sometime now.. I guess the Hackmann's are working on it...

That's prob true, I haven't been up to see it for months. If they build engines, that's prob who he had do them, he said it was in MI where he was having them done.

For you Baja junkies, they did have another '1 of 1' up there. A 36 Outlaw with staggered twins. Supposedly it's the only 1 ever built with staggered engines, and they were 650hp each. Anybody ever heard of another one? Kinda wild looking with an 8' sunpad.......

I'm sure that boat runs like a bat out of hell!! They used the **** out of it on the apba circuit for a couple of years. I think the reason they did not put it into production is there commitment to building non-stepped traditional offshore style hulls. I'm sure it was Baja's way of saying, "Look, you nay-saying loosers...you don't think Baja can build a top of the line bad ass twin stepped boat, built as good or better than ANY other offshore boat on the market for under half the price....Well here it is!!! Now F*CK OFF!!"
Of course, that's just the way I see it...I could be wrong

I hear what your saying but I think if it was really that bad ass, they would have produced it. I for one am glad that Baja is staying with the true V thing but with all the money that went into making that one boat, I think if it was all that, they would have tried to recoup some of the development costs by selling them (at least in limited production)
O.K. so there one boat out there. Why not 10??

I had to bring this thread out of the arcives. I was laying in bed staring at the poster of this boat on my wall and thinking no one ever posted pics of the way it looks now or the whole details on where it is etc.

Soooooo, someone please find this thing and take some photos. Thanks.

H.T.

How the hell do you always know all the info about Baja?? And wheres the pics of your boat?? It's all re-rigged right?

Anyway, if you read through the thread someone mentioned it was indeed getting the re-fit it needed. This was a year ago, so I'm wondering if anyone has seen it lately. It's possibly at LOTO....? Someone has got to know what the update is on this thing.
