Thanks Dennis and I look forward to being able to report back to you. There is no doubt in my mind how she will do.

Yes Jason still has the job of hauling this baby across the country, keeping her clean and serviced and driving when Blane, Jay and I are not available.

Current list of drivers:

Blane Aarup
Jay Prestwood
Jason

Don,

Thanks for your comments. I agree that this was a stand out boat at the show. Even though there was some very nice hardware there nothing really jumped out at me this year like the Baja "Split Decision" boat. Next in line for me was the new 39 Hustler which I was impressed with but the other manufactures seemed to have the same stuff in a different color.

The 40 Outlaw is a wave crushing machine but is has never been a real fast boat. It will be interesting to see how the weight reduction along with the knotched transom and pad bottom help it along.

Two things:

That wing belongs on an import fart pipe type car.

Let's hope it doesn't get dropped, like the last 40 did,
otherwise, looks good

It's suppose to be in Dubuque next month, I'm
hoping to check it out then.

Doesn't the wing help aerodynamics over the boat, and increase speed? Atleast thats the idea I got from the baja brochure

I don't think it really helped the last 40 PR boat.

Dock-

Great pics! It really looks like Baja put a lot of effort into this boat! This should be a great year for the Poker Run circuit for them!

Thanks Dock for great pics and all the info!

Looks like another winner for Baja! I am glad they did not sell it as it will definitely be a show stopper on the Poker Run circuit. Maybe this will earn Baja the praise it deserves!

Doc, thanks for the great info and awesome pics. I assume when we were talking about Baja doing a 40 for the 08 season, you already knew it was in the works didn't you, you sly dog

I was a big fan of them doing a big 40 with the "school bus" seating. Glad they decided to do it.
