If you want room and a good riding boat at 50MPH it is great. Activators are VERY fast boats. A few showed up at the Jacksonville run last year and WOW were they fast. They smoked all the Velocity folks. But it is a SMALL boat. You can put three of them in a 29 Outlaw. |

You will NEVER see it back out of that boat and it will still not be that fast. Just stick with a 496HO and have the difference for a lifetime worth of fuel. Dock |

Dock Your probably right as the whole concept is an affordable cost for operating it. I suspect there's a lot of folks who would be thrilled with the ride of a 29' hull without the expense of running twins. Roughly, how much more does a 29OL weigh compared to a 272? |

272 Dry Weight = 4400 lbs 29 OL Single Dry Weight = 5575 Lbs 29 OL Twin Dry Weight = 6800 lbs The 29 is a much larger boat, it punches a much bigger whole through the air and has more wetted surface by far. |

That's probably too much hull to be pushed around by 400-500hp. And as my son reminded me, you would only buy a Baja to go fast, ..... otherwise get a Tollycraft :D |
Re: Baja History "The Thread"
There were a few single engine 292 Islanders for sale awhile back. Havent seen any in awhile.
