Well I should hope with 700 HP you blew by them, would be pretty embarrassing if you didn't. Not really a fair comparison is it?

Not really apples to apples, but it sure is fun to walk right by them. When you run around on the Mississippi in Iowa and Wisconsin, everyone breathes BAJA so it is always fun to blow by them.

Same power per boat and the 26ZX Donzi is still faster...one of the fastest 26 offshore boats back when it came out and is still an excellent performer.
I was always impressed by the speed numbers of this boat in the magazine tests.

Alright, very good......but you are in code violation......WHERE'S THE PIX????? You always have to have a camera handy for these special moments of you progressively leaving someone behind. It's kinda like giving someone a tow, you always have to take a picture. Make us proud Joey, put up some pix!

Nice, I do a little Baja dusting too.
Like Fever here says, it is a faster hull.
Had a guy in an Outlaw come gunning for me last summer. I am sure that he was toting 650+ hp and was driving like he stole it. I let him have a little fun and then passed him like he was tied to the dock. There is another 26ZX on my lake with the exact same paint job as mine so he probably had me confused with him. The other ZX is a 68 mph boat. I let the Baja run with me to the high 70's and then dropped the hammer. He was very surprised.
You should be seeing 80+ with 700 hp. That is a good number for that boat. Some like to walk around a bit in the high 70's but then ride like on rails after that. At least to 85 or so. Above that it is a balancing act of tabs and trim.
What kind of numbers are you seeing so far?
