The 277 is definately a cool boat. I dont think any brand, make or model are "jumping" off lots presently.

I think alot depends on location. I have no use for an islander on Lake Erie, since we always overnight. But, I have met people that are totally opposite and like an open bow for the extra room for their friends.

There was constantly a 277 coming down the line. They couldnt build them fast enough.

How about a all BLUE HULL !!!!!!

I will have pics up as soon as OSO gets off the fritz:ernaehrung004:

Baja Will, send pics to [email protected]. Does is have a 496HO? Option list please.

Man - is that the truth. Came from boating on Lake Erie and over nighting to not even thinking about over nighting and living 20 mins from my marina. I would have never bought a cuddy living on LKN. 100% day lake.

Should have pics, in you in box. OSO still on the fritz:drink:

Baja Will, do you have a phone number?

That is pretty good. I assume that is GPS?

What is the GPS number for the 242 with a MAG and the 27 with the HO?

Send me the info too (michaelnicholls2004(at)hotmail.com
).

Do they really go that fast with the MAG? I thought Power Boat tests had them at 61.4mph with the HO?

Answers,

Yes they will go that fast, 277 w/ HO will see 64-65,

BTW I just pulled the review in Powerboat, you are right it says that, I don't know if they had a diff prop or full of fuel or both but that test is off

Now its not going to do it with 101 gallons of fuel and 10 people onboard, but yup she will do it

Here is what boating life said, on the 278 same hull, so 50 hp less and as fast as powerboat???

" We tested it with the 375 hp version of MerCruiser's 496 Magnum, topping out in the 60 mph range. "

Let me add, we will switch up props also, our 277 performs better with a 4 Blade on than a 3 blade

242 496mag 63-64
242 496HO 64-66

Feel free to come for a demo, I sold a 202 last month because the guy didn't think it would do 60mph, with a 5.0 260hp we hit 64 speedo, 61 gps needless to say he's in a BAJA and not a searay today.

BAJA WILL, now that Baja by Baja is history, are dealer territorys still in tact or will it be a free for all till the remaining inventory is sold?
