If Doug Smith got ahold of the old 36 Outlaw hull mold & he knows where its at.....and started working with it, making changes like adding steps & other things to bring it up to date, couldn't that be something special!!!

As long as the topdeck looks nothing like a Baja!!!

The "New Baja" doesn't use that hull anymore, so wouldn't have to change much to make it work, maybe a better designed swim platform!

Very nice & roomy cockpit & much more agressive boat than the 350 which reminds me of the Baja 342, which takes a bunch of power to make it run well.

The real Baja quit building the 36 after the 05 model year.

I say he should go for it, if he had the hull.

BTW, its an amazing resemblence between the 350 and the Baja 242. lol

He probably knows where the molds are. In the county dump.

I'm pretty sure XT listed all the other molds that are over there not too long ago, can't recall for sure if the 36 was amont them or not...

Think XT did say it was in the dump........

Start digging dammmmit.......................lol

My shovel is not big enough.....Besides Checkmate has already built a much better performance 36 footer than a Baja! I did not get to view it in action, but I trust the source that told me the numbers and how well it ran. When I just looked at the bottom configuration I thought it had everything right. I say it's time to start from scratch, but any new 36 should have a hull design closer to the one they built.

(Just my opinion of course)

Reminds me of the 36 Pantera XT.

Hmmm? Well I know we started from scratch on the rear bench interior and engine hatch. No matter what I still like that boat. I do think a little higher freeboard at the rear would be nice.

We just finished a interior job on a 88' 28 Pantera last week. They built a real nice boat way back then.

Those pics do look vaguely familiar. My socks even show up in that one pic....

That was a really fun project and yes, that boat ran well. I agree with your sources.
