Back In The Baja Club
 

Went to the Long Beach boat show yesterday. Had no intentions of buying new but they had a 25 SST Outlaw, 496HO, B1X, pretty loaded for the same price as the used ones I was looking at. When I started dealing they wanted to add freight, prep and trailer and jacked the price up. The sales rep was kind of a young guy and told me to throw out an offer as it was Sunday afternoon and the last day of the show. Well, I worked them pretty good and pulled the trigger. They towed it back from the show this morning and started to prep it but I had to get back to Vegas so I'm picking it up next Saturday. We'll splash it in the morning so they can go over eveything with me and check it out. The sales manager told me I'd better promote the hell out of the dealership because they gave me such a good deal! :D So, it's Hahm Motorsports in Anaheim. They are a new dealer for Baja and so far, have treated me very well. When I bought my 20 Outlaw from Dick Simon they didn't even help me hook up to my truck let alone go over anything about the boat. Hahm won't even let you take the boat without a wet demo first.

Didnt you like the Cig or was it just time to move on?

Re: Back In The Baja Club
 

Loved the Cig (how can you not?!) but moved from the coast to Vegas and wanted a smaller, single engine boat for Mead & Havasu. If I move close to the ocean again I'll probably get a Gun but this boat will suit my needs for many years to come (hopefully!). :D

Re: Back In The Baja Club
 

That speaks volumes!

Welcome back.

Re: Back In The Baja Club
 

Congrats, I know you have been looking. reat looking boat. You will love the 25 Outlaw. I do mine!

Re: Back In The Baja Club
 

Thanks, G Man! I'm picking it up Saturday, can't wait!

Was looking at these as well as the 24' Pantera's. I liked the race liniage of the Pantera's but they are really small with a 7' beam. The Baja was just a lot more boat and even though I'm a single guy, it's nice to have the extra room for guests. :D

Re: Back In The Baja Club
 

Right! I had a 24 Pantera and it was a great boat and a great company. Trouble is the small beam if you are need of space. You will love the outlaw. Good Luck

Re: Back In The Baja Club
 

Respectable answer! :)

At least you didnt change your screen name while you were a Cig man! :evilb:

Re: Back In The Baja Club
 

Picking it up tomorrow morning! Won't be sleeping much tonight! :evilb:

Up at 4AM, drive 300 miles to lake Elsinor to get the boat. This lake is filled with green slime! :eek: The dealer wet delivery guy, Capt Bernie asked me if I wanted to splash the boat or not 'cause he knew the lake was mucky and I have boating experience. They normally require a "wet delivery" but would wave it if I didn't want to because of my experience. I thought about it and figured I should check evrything out. Plus, I wanted to run the boat!

The boat is effing awesome!!!! :D :D :D

Capt Bernie starts out in it and I'm just checking everything out. We're cruising along at what I think is about 30 and I look over and we're doing 60! We topped out at 71 (GPS) but it was so smooth it felt much slower. This boat rides and handles extreemly well. Of course after 6 to 8's last weekend any lake would feel smooth!

I ran it around the lake once and then put it back on the trailer and hammered the 300 miles back home. Just got it put away.

I am very happy! :D :p

I forgot to take any pictures of the boat in the water! :(
