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!

I forgot my camera, so no pics.

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.
