Congrats Mike,

Looks great Mike!

Enjoy!

[QUOTE=mikebrls;2301031] i traded in the sonic ...for some reliability.

Mike, did you finally sell the 2 525's ? Are you suggesting that the 496's are more reliable than the 525's or are you saying that Baja is a more reliable boat than Sonic? I thought maybe age but your Sonic was pretty new. Please no political answer like your comparison between your 28 Pantera and your new Baja. I really want to know. D

Ps: The Baja looks Incredible!, Enjoy

let see the 496 ho's will save me on my gas bill also has 5 year waranty on motor's and drive's and the boat will still run the same speed's as the sonic with a lot less power :)
also it's brand new ++++++

Sweeeeeet, Congrats, nice lookin boat

well i finaly was able to take out the boat today :)
i had too keep her under 3500 rpm .
boat ran great i took her down the icw for the first leg of the tour . then we hit the inlet and i said should we go out :) it was good 2 to 3 footer's witch is nothing around her but when you have to keep the rpms down it's not as nice of a ride your not on top of the water at that speed " 35 to 40 mph " but it ran real good and i was so happy the gas gauge moved about 1/8 of a inch. these motor's just sip the gas compared to my 525's i had
:Score-101010:
and also puting the boat in and out of the water was alot easier then i thought . it took more time to find a parking spot then to launch and recover the boat on the trailer :cool-smiley-027:

Great news everything was great ..a "10" so you call it:D

Looking to hear how it runs in the rougher water of the east coast. WE had a Fort Myers run today. A sorta of minirun since the scheduled day was suppoed to be yesterday. See the FMO area of OSO.
Congrats again. Glas you loving your Baja. You need some Baja bling...T-shirts ,hats etc...:cool-smiley-027:

my girl friend bought me some baja bling already " beer bottle coozies with the flames on them " pretty cool" and also a jersy long sleeve with logo up and down shirt arm :)
i will still have to get some more stuff and also get something for her to wear :ernaehrung004:

well i just got past my first 10 hour break in today :)
i ran the icw for most of the day and then once i hit the 10 hour break in i was ocean bound :ernaehrung004:
it was 3 to 4 foot rollars and the boat handled great .
it fly's nice and level and the mid range punch is great with these 26 lab prop's. i know i will loose a few mph top end but running in the ocean down hear i would rather have the mid range throtle responce for the wave action .
i ran about 15 mile in the ocean and it was sweet i just have to get my throtle arm back in shape it's definitly a driver's boat in that type of water . witch i like
