I hate it when it happens to me, but do a search in this Baja section. There is a "Baja History" thread that is full of pictures.

Art,

They very well could of built some 240's in 89' Even though they only show up in the 88' brochure I knew we built them in 87' but was kind of unsure about 89'.

The ONLY record on these older Baja's is a couple well used, hand written three ring binders that list the HIN number, the gelcoat colors used, the date it was completed, the Baja Dealer it was to go to, and the date it shipped. It was not until around 96' that this information was entered into Sea Ray's database, and included much more detail. I have had to access both the older HIN number books, and the SR database many times when I worked at Baja Marine. Access to the history of older Baja's is one of the perk's that no longer exists at "Baja" in North Carolina. Sorry, but it is want it is!

XT :party-smiley-004:

I have a 90 baja 240 sport with a bravo 1 330hp do you think it made in 89??? The title says 1990 anyways. The colors are black dark gry and the main color white with out the attached swim platform.
Thanks

It could be titled as a 1990. It is not real hard to change a boats model year at the manufacturer/dealer level before the boat is retail sold to the first customer? After that it is much harder to do.

OK, here's how it goes!

The Sport 240 was created in late 87' thru 88' then deleted for the new Sport 250 in 89'. The Sport 250 was renamed in 90' to the 250 ES, and then again in 91' to the Baja 270.

In 92' the older Sport 240 deck, & hull molds were brought back into production as the first "Outlaw" model. Only the deck, and hull tooling is the same between the Sport 240, and the better known 24 Outlaw. All the hardware, windscreen, swim platform, and interior is much different between them.

I found EXACTLY what I was after - Thanks OSO and THANKS XT!
