From a safety standpoint Baja is not wanting to go with a stepped hull. I respect that.
I think they are making great strides without it.
Poker Face is a light layup boat, but from a dead stop it out ran a 35 Fountain also with 525's by a nose in two miles at the Tick Faw Poker Run.
The fountain probably had a full cuddy, but it also had twin steps. So do the math!
The owner of the Fountain was pretty funny, his comment was "That is the fastest damn Baja I have ever seen".

Baja is # 1 in performance boat sales
You hear all the storys of instabilty, spin outs, lawsuits etc( step hulls).
With the high sales volume, I doubt they want to
subject themselves to the liability in this day and age
of "sue happiness".

The 29 with a single (other then docking manners) is a great boat. Stable, well balanced and a very low CG. Late 2000 hulls and up with the larger step with a single is the one to target.

The 29 I was refering to is a single with around 1200 HP.
You would not catch me in it, but the owner claims that it is very stable and runs like it is on rails.

Baja, because of the large lineup they make from 20 feet to 40 feet and the price factor, attracts a lot of first time performance boaters to the sport with little to no experience.
Usually the guys that go to the stepped hulls have years of experience with non-stepped boats. Many actually started out with Baja.
They have their nitch, and are doing very well with it.
Unfornunately we still hear of those in stepped boats that should have had more experience, such as the guy down at Tick Faw a couple of weeks ago.

I think baja has done a tremendous job in the past few years to really push the envolpe on safe, straight hull boats. The have introduced 4 new models in as many years. That is huge.
30 outlaw
23 outlaw
35 outlaw
405 performance
and a 26 outlaw coming out this summer..........
What other builder has done that?
