What was the 1st Baja you rode in?
 
I was a kid, hell everyone here is a kid compared to Jay Spencer! Anyway I was probably in 5th grade & a friend of my Dad's had a 19' Baja sport. 350 with an Alpha drive.
What is your story?

my 232 islander
then Pits 38 Special
After that, Ronda said we needed a bigger boat!
Plan worked perfectly :ernaehrung004:

The first ride was our 1st Baja, a 212 Islander. Fun boat as long as the water was smooth! Had that boat for 5 years. Now I've had a 25 Outlaw for 5 years. Most be time to move up..........

My sister bought a new 1978 18 foot with a 140 HP then I bought it in 81 then I sold it had a number of other boats then I bought a new 24 Outlaw in 93. Then a new 32 outlaw in 96. Then a 302 in 99. Then moved on to a Formula but I always loved my Bajas.

The first Baja I ever rode in and drove was an H2X in 1999 at the in water boat show at the Rusty Rudder on Lake Norman. We purchased a new 212 Islander at the show because the H2X was too expensive!:rolleyes:

It was a late 1970s Baja jet boat around 20'. The first Baja that I owned was a 1987 - 174 Sunsport with a 205 hp V-6 that ran 60+ and that felt faster than 90-100 in some of our poker run boats!

First Baja I rode in was a buddy's 1986 Baja Fish N Ski 200 with an outboard, then I bought a H2X and then a 25 Outlaw.

I guess your 174 Sunsport would have to be my first. You should scan some pics of it with BOTH tow vehicles.

My first ride was in a friends 1995 hotshot and then in 2000 we bought a 1995 236 and and 2 1/2 years ago we got our 275 and that will be our last boat buying for a long time.
