I do not know if they were a factory option or not.

Personally I like the radar arch, but I am in the minority. Every poll I have seen the majority have not liked them. I guess that is why not a single performance boat manufacturer offers them as stock, and hardley any even offer them as an option.

They are functional in cruiser applications, but I would be surprised to see them come back on performance boats.

I don't think I've ever seen a 32 Outlaw with an arch. They came on a lot of the early 420s and 370s but not too many Outlaws.

I had one on my 38 and wish that my 442 had one. You hear everyone ragging on them but they are extremely functional for mounting the bimini to. In Florida during the summertime, showers are a given and putting up the bimini when the wind is blowing is not what I call fun. Great for mounting speakers so the rear passengers can hear the stereo when running. Maybe I am just getting old but I never thought they took away from the look of the boats. It seems most people are sold on old school with a fancy paint job. Just my .02.

Baja the History...

Now Baja is Histiry....

Man what a difference a year makes.

Hey folks I just wanted to move this back to the top in hopes that some may have additional information.

One thing I am proud of is some awards I now own and admire that Baja won from Powerboat Magazine.

Some of my personal favorites

22 twlight cruiser-my first boat
23 Bandit

that is why baja's were so popular, they offered so many models and styles almost everyone found a model they liked.
