'Lucky 7' 35 Outlaw
 

Went on a demo ride on this boat on tour this weekend. What a machine!
Custom graphics, 4 man boolsters (the rear bench set was to close to the 2nd row of bolsters for long rides) Merc 700SCi's with NXT drives! And of course matching tow truck for the traveling the circut. Speakers in the engine compartment, for those dock side shows. :) The smartcraft dash was really sweet too.
Full load of fuel, 6 adults, 92 mph. Those 700's sounds SWEET! Very solid ride.

US1 gives it 2 thumps up! :evilb:

I forgot my camera, so no pics. :mad:

If it shows up in your neighbor hood, check it out.

Obviously not the Poker Run edition, which I understand will do 90 with 525s. Even so, I would have expected the 700s on the boat to brake 100.

First time I've ever been those speed on the water and it rode so smooth. The engines really screamed to.

*edit*
Gas gauge was a bit off though :/

I believe it is a PR edition, for lack of knowledge of what makes it a PR edition. Not the normal 35 OL with fancy paint and motors. :) Also the basic cabin setup, bench seating and storage. No luxurys. Read where it tested around 97 with 2 guys and light load of fuel and more prop testing to go.
Keep in mind, this was with 180 gals of fuel, 6 adults.

Where did you hook up with the Poker Run Tour? Monroe? Sounds like a sweet ride.

Baja has two hull layups for the 35. The PR edition has the carbon fiber composite hull and then there is the normal layup that is found on all Bajas.

Lucky 7's is the standard layup. Poker Face was the PR layup without a full cabin.


From what I hear the 35 that Hawkeye has did break 100. I can only guess they are still dialing in Lucky 7's. I heard from another guy that went on a demo ride that they hit 99.4 so it is possible.

At the Photo shoot, the Poker Run truck driver Jason, told me that one of the guy's saw just over 100 mph with low fuel.

I could be wrong but I don't think there's anyway the Poker Run edition will run 90 with 525s if theres a full tank of gas and 6 people in the boat. Probably only under ideal conditions...

Hawkeyes ran a best of 103.7 so far, and it's not
a PR edition.

Hawkeye's boat is not a poker run edition? I thought it was due to the fiberglass hatch.

Here is a few pic I took while it was in Sanibel for the photo shoot. Well a bunch of Baja's were there. Would have loved a ride but no luck that day.

Poker Face:

We hit 86 MPG GPS against the current and 89 MPG GPS with the current last year in Jacksonville with four people and a half tank of fuel and it was 100 degrees outside.

Poker Face, Poker Run Addition w 525's

Jason,

The fiberglass engine hatch is just an option. I don't think they have built any poker run (light layup) 35's with 700's yet.

You better get your order in buddy!

Dock

Monroe.
See what you miss when you don't stop by? :)



I think the paint would have looked better w/o the 'Lucky 7' on the sides. Looks almost like graffitii

Does that mean Hawkeye's boat has a full cabin?

I believe that it does have the full cabin.

You would look good in that boat my man. :evilb:

what does a 35PR run about with 525's? and can you get it with HO's?

It has the cabin, but the time I was in it,
it didn't have much in it...about the couches
was it.

Your not going to believe this but my wife gave me the go ahead on a 35 provided I dry dock it (she does not like trailering) and it has the cabin with galley and head. :evilb: I'm sure the fine folks at Hawkeye would just love to take my 33 on trade!:rolleyes: Now all i need is a couple of large cases to settle and we'll be in business.

Here's one with HO's

Thats about what I was guessing. Mid 80's anytime you want it, around 90 under ideal conditions...

that has to be the nicest 35 ive seen in a while anyone have an idea what they are asking for it?

Never been on a regular 35, but is the cockpit the same lenght as a regular 35 OL? As I said before, the rear bench seat is too close the othe rear bolsters to stand w/o bending your knees. Trying to figure how they squeezed in a 2nd set of bolsters, unless the standard cockpit has lots of free room??

Any idea what the $$ is for this boat?

Probably the same cockpit. I know the 32, 33, and 36 all had a ton of cockpit room. The 33 cockpit was huge, perfect for rafting off and partying.

35 Outlaw PR Edition
 

Hey Jaay Tee thanks for the link, we also added CMI headers which has got the boat running right at 80mph with HO's.

I don't think the 35 has quite as much cockpit space as the
32,33, and 36.

We had a 35 up next to a 33 last year, and the cockpit
on the 33 appeared to be slightly larger.

But, for those of your who work on your own stuff,
the 35 seems to have more engine room space than any of the
above listed, which is a big + in my book:D

I get to see lucky sevens this weekend:D

Ha! Unforunately we never made it to the lake on Mem. Day Weekend, due to the weather and a funeral on Mon. I really was disappointed we couldn't make it down.

Hope to see you guys soon!

LUCKY 7's @ Lake Monroe, Indiana
 

I got a chance to hang with the guys from the Marine Center of Indiana and Jason from Baja on Sat . the 2nd. Lucky 7's is exactly what you expect from Baja.. Fast and safe ride...The pair of 700 sci's give this boat great acceleration through the mids and 90+ mph with fuel and folks aboard.. We had five people and 3/4 load of fuel and the gps tattle tale rung out 94mph... and we never felt like we were going to get tossed out...Great job Baja Boys and and girls!!!!

Oh yeah we also had a film crew out doing hi-def. video of the days events and of course Lucky 7's hangin it all out on the choppy confused waters of Lake Monroe...The clips should be out by next week... Joe Grayson/ Former tman for B-36 Outlaw

I noticed they had alot of problems coming out of the hole every time. Alot of blow out. Mike really broke it loose when I was on board, but must say that this was his first time behind the wheel. Mike did hammer it every time though. Characteristic of the NXT drive/ 6 blade, or operator learning curve? Seemed Jason had much better results, but still... I think they liked the rooster look. :D
I agree, nice job!

Where will the video be availabe?

This is a picture of Hawkeyes boats drive height,
they're up there a little bit.

I was told Lucky 7's wasn't quite as high.

Mine aren't near that high and I have a certain procedure for
getting them on plane without blowout.

There is definetely a learing curve when trying to get a high X
boat on plane for the first few times.

Your right.. out of the hole is a problem. But that's the trade off. It seemed to me that once it hooked up (around twenty) Then we were in business...Your also right about who drives it.. I only got the chance to ride with Jason...

The film work should be out next week....

Got to take a ride this weekend,
got 98 with 6 people on board.

I was riding bit*h, so I kept an eye on the speedo.

Running 80 and hit it, it still pulls hard.

Any of you get a chance, take a ride:D
