Yea no doubt. I would think that steps would have propelled them into competition with the higher end boats. Maybe they'll go back to this when they "Re-Launch" the Baja brand, whenever that is supposed to happen.

I helped Daniel load the Green Monster when Nate was having Becker pick it up and take it back to Iowa to sell. Not having the windscreen is brutal in that boat. It was 41 degrees and misting and that sure didn’t help. The fuel rails were leaking again too, not my best ride to PB2 by a long shot.

Henry Motors boat even with a set of CNC Merc 17x34 props never ran much over mid 90's with the 700's. Jeff took a 33 Outlaw on trade for it and picked up a new 44 Outlerlimits with 700's. The Henry Motor’s boat stayed in Omaha, NE for now.

Hey tell Rick the 17x34's are for sale if he wants a spare set, I have them at my place ready to ship.

Oh and who did this 40? Ski Dock? I didn't know they did one with 700's.

The yellow 40' has been on Lake Travis for a few years. It's been for sale for a couple of months I think. It was on Craig's List in Austin for about 24 hours and then the listing dissappeared. The Ski Dock sold it new.

Is that a problem with all tripple's? Or just the BAJA design. I dont remembering hearing that on other tripple models.

dont run it at LOTO. wicked loud with the center engine exhaust going out each side. sounds great but wp will write a ticket each time it is out. The owner does have $250K into it. engines were done in DSM.

I've had two triple engine boats now, 42 and 47 Lightings and it hasn't been an issue on either.
