I test drove the 2005 42 Ex in the Atlantic 2 weeks ago in water bigger than this, 3-5 footers and occasional 8 ft. holes and he flew that thing at 70GPS. But it was rough!

Bigger than that?....those look like 8-10's to me, since pics can be deceiving I'm sure the photographer will chime in.

Formula would probably be the best answer in this question, though.

Same mold, not same boat. Not by a long shot. The Baja might ride like a pillow, until it breaks in half.
What does the Baja weigh? What does a Mistress weigh? Enough said.
My next boat is going to be an old Mistress or TG. Late 70's, early 80's.

Had an 03 382 w/ 575's, high 70's, never saw 80. Ran one summer next to a good friend many days w/ stag. 525's in a 42 beaker, 04, low 80's all day. He seemed to run alot better (speed wise) through alot of dif. water than me. I suspect balance and hull 4 that. Fit and finish 2 my boat. Can't speak 4 the Baja. Good luck w/ your search! Wrink
