First ive heard. I bought mine from south carolina it had lil over 300 hrs on it and it was ran on the Atlantic for 6 years and it dosent have a single stress crack. my first boat was a VIP and it was stress cracked all to hell. I could tell it was a light boat that wasnt built as well thoe. If ya want a dealers opinion call admirals anchor in jeffersonville IN on the ohio river across from louisville. Thay were a PQ dealer and still a baja dealer. Ask for andy in service or the owner steve webb. Thay will tell you that PQ is a higher end boat. Thay were more $$$ new but thay had less cosmetic problems and less warrenty comebacks. Im not saying that baja isnt a nice boat. Thay are very much. But thay are not the best boat out there like some people believe. Thay however are great for the price.

Baja342- cmon now there is no reason to get butthurt over all this... Baja made a sharp looking boat. Pq's were hand laid and have a reputation for being very soundly built hull's, with the 300 being designed by john cosker i'd say that gives it a little bit of a more custom feeling than a baja.

Considering its twin engines vs single I think its pretty good. Mainly making the point that its not double the fuel burn like some people think.

The only thing I was considering was the number 30-50%... Single, twins, trips, whatever it may be... that's the difference between paying $400 in fuel and $600 in fuel

Haha. Im sure well be spending more time floating around drinkin than running. That has been the story the past few weeks anyway. Even thoe gas is cheaper than beer our boats consume fuel much faster than we can beer so its more economical to float around and drink b but i dont care. Lol.
