I need a POSTER
 

If anyone has a Baja poster of the 420 APBA stepped hull pace boat that is in good condition I would be interested in paying TOP dollar for it.

Baja made a steped hull?

Yes, one.

Call Hawkeye Boat Sales, 563-557-0313, I noiticed they had a couple of the posters hung around the show room, Maybe this will help.

I believe they sold it last if I am not mistaken. I remember seeing it for sale not that long ago.

Dock,
It's in the mail. It wouldn't fit in my envelopes so I had to cut it in half and put it in two envelopes--I hope thats OK.:D:D
Enjoy,
Jay

Not to sound like an idiot - but any details? I am sure some of us had no idea. :D

Thanks!

Baja Poster
 

i think i have one Dock was it a 1998 model if so it was the big poster for the 1998 baja model brochure.

I have the original Baja brochure poster of that boat.

The most popular Baja of all times as far as I'm concerned.

It was the famous 420 which was built to be the official pace boat for the APBA and served for two years. It was built with a step bottom for the speed required to stay ahead of the race boats and was powered by triple 800 sc's.

Then there was also the famous B36 Baja race boat.

Jay,
You are going to have to move to the East coast so it will be legal for you to start drinking earlier!

Nice talking with you today buddy.:ernaehrung004:

Take care
Dock

Dock,
I lied. It's not in the mail. Post Office is closed today. It will be in the mail tomorrow.:cool:
Jay

I'm not sure I can wait that long, but if that is the best you can do then oh well.

Thanks buddy!

If I moved to the East coast we would both probably end up single and in a whole lot of trouble.:hitfan: Besides we don't want to have Tommie and Barb that close together.:ernaehrung004:
Jay

I have one in a cheap frame. Nothing wrong with it, but I'm not too sure I really want to get rid of it. No kidding. I'm looking at it right now.
PM me.

EVEN BETTER!! I can paint your 36 to look just like it, and then you won't NEED a poster!!!!:D

How fast was it compared to a non step?

That is hard to say, because there wasn't another 420 with trip 800's built either from what I understand.

i know the owner- Mike Ohrt ph. 563 522 2540
he will hook you up or better yet sell the boat to you.

I remember it here in Bolixi MS for a Boat Race .I guess it was around 98.The side exit exhaust sounded good on the front motor:D

TOP DOLLAR

I have a stack of one dollar bills about four inches high here on my desk right now.

You can have the one on the TOP of the stack!

TOP DOLLAR!!!!!!!!:D:cool-smiley-026::ernaehrung004:

It is definately one of my favorite paint jobs. We have a guy here on Lake Norman that painted is 25 Outlaw exactly like that.

If you are getting top dollar for that paint job, I have to wait and see if Jason takes it first. If not I give you the top dollar bill in the stack!:cool-smiley-026:

I suppose I could live without it. I think I'd like to draw up a contract on it. I would like to actually "loan" it to you. Like fine art. Only classier.
About the top dollar thing.......Did your parents have any kids that lived?:D

LOL

The wife has been gone to Charleston since last weekend and she just got back home yesterday. I heard her laughing last night and it was at your post!

She was online making sure I had not started any trouble while she was gone.

I told her that with Jason and Jay onlne is was hard to stay out of trouble!

I know the feeling of the wife being gone & getting into trouble. I don't have to worry about that anymore!
So, do you think Mamma will let you have this poster?

420 stepped Baja is a BAD MO FO!!!

I'd like to see recent pics of it if anyone has them.....

I'd pull that third motor out if I owned it, other than that it's sick!!

You took the words right out of my mouth!

I heard that the boat was completely gone trough a few years back and looked just like new. It was forsale for $250K after that and if I had the money and they tow vehicle I would own it.

A pair of 1075's would be the perfect setup.

If the money tree in my yard would finally blume, I'd venture to say, If I was re-doing it (like the current owner did) I would've taken the 800's out(sold them) Pulled the 6's off the back and sold the single And slap some now power (at least 1000's ) in a staggared formationIf possible. I realize theres stringer issues switching to staggard. Would've been expensive but I'm SURE the re-do was not cheap to start with and some of the money could've been recovered with the sale of the drive and motors.

I'm very suprised more pics of that boat (from recent) aren't floating around. It's such a looker!

Jay, you are "THE MAN".

I cannot thank you enough!

WOW, what a generous thing to do.

I owe you big time.

Take a pick of it

Check out the bottom on this old gal!

I want to own that boat! I better get Bad Idea sold!

Greg,

You got a larger file of that shot? If so email it to me.

P.S. How's your pool boy working out?

Dock

Jason the wife said we need it also after looking at that poster Jay sent. When I told her it was for sale at $250K the last I heard she said "That's Not Bad At All". Maybe she has a saving account I'm not aware of. Don't let us beat you too it!:rolleyes:

Anyone ever post the speeds with those tripple 8s???

I'ver heard several times that it was a 92 MPH boat. Maybe some one knows for sure. Of course it was a heavy boat and back then 92 was FAST!

I talked to the owner this summer and he said it would run right around 104 on gps. He Owned Hawkeye boats in Low Mor Iowa but just closed the place down this summer very nice guy.
