Thanks for teh pic. I have closed bow. Looking forward to anything else you have. Still don't have it... Maybe this weekend. I'm so ready to take it out. I've paid for it. I wanna drive it!

I hope mine handles well with the Mercury 175 motor. I want to ski tube and not have to:

"make a custom snout for mine, and trimtabs to make it handle better." Cause, I'll have google trimtab and snout for one, for two, build it...ain't happening!

Dont worry, you have plenty of power to overcome any problems I had with the 90, also, I believe the Baja is a bit longer than my 14 footer. The 175 is a great motor. I ran a 200 which is basically the same powerhead on my 24 Pantera to 50+ MPH, just had the need for speed, and upgraded to a 225(different motor completely) Nice thing about 2 strokes is they are all basically the same weight(at least when your talkin' V-6's, so you can go with bigger power and not offset the balance. Make sure to post some pics, and any other questions when you get it

I will post pics. I know I paid top $$ for mine. It wasn't for sale I was just coming back from putting my jet skis in at the launch and was going really slow on my 4 wheeler by this guy's house. I always see this boat just sitting there. It was covered and looked like a good 'girl size' boat so I asked if he wanted to sell it. He said, uh...yes. So there the negotiation began. Not the best way to get a good price. I didn't even know what it was, or what a jet boat or 90 or 120 motor was. But when he told me the price, I realized i better get to know what a 175 v6 will do and whether it's worth the $$.

I do like the previous owner and trust him, plus like the way he cares for his stuff, and of course, the all important engine upgrade. He just sold a 30 ft baja (at his FL house) so he's man of speed, and good taste.

The ones you posted on Detroit craigslist are nice.

When I get my boat, I will post.

2footitis is setting in...thinking I should have bought an Islander. UGH... it's started and I haven't even driven it yet.

I had to share the 2footitis comment, the dealer that sold me my 14 foot regal told me this, and it is true, although I actually stepped back in size once, but it was to a Pantera, so that makes it OK(hang around here for a while, and you will understand this comment)
