Need some help... First boat!
 

ok, i'm ready to buy my first baja (and first boat). I am trying to decide between at 275 Boss and a 29 outlaw! I will be boating with my wife and 2 kids, so the bigger boat is more attractive. Any suggestions on single vs twin power for my first boat??

baja did make some 29,s with single engines,,most where twins,,where will u be boating at???

when i carry precious cargo i really like having two engines. its made the difference a few times, lets face it break downs happen. also there is no comparison when manuvering around the docks. you can do soooooo much more with twins.
down side is twice the upkeep, twice the mods when you make them. and twins make twice the noise, that goes either way ie good or bad. bottom line is ive had bolth and ill always have twins... good luck...

Agreed.

I agree with this as well.. as for my feelings about the two boats, I'll pick the 29 everytime. I own a 29 outlaw and my best friend owns a 272 boss, so I have driven both. The outlaw as a bigger usable cabin, faster and rides much better than the 272. Do not get me wrong, I do like the 272, it has about the same cockpit space as mine, sunpad is nice, easy to drive etc. Where it is better is fuel economy and its very easy for me to work on his engine without removing the rear seat. I remove my rear seat everytime I do anything to mine and its still very tight! As the others said, having two engines has gotten me home a few times and I will never own a single engine boat.

If you like the windshiled of the 272 look at the 302.

ok, thats what my thought was. does the windshield on the performance provide alot more wind protection than the outlaw...

Well....yes it does if you sit down and look thru it. I never noticed very much difference between the two boats because I stand and drive, so I am always looking over his windshield. I really never liked the look of the full windshield.....but that's just me! I will say this, if you get caught in the rain, its nice to duck down behind the windshield and drive the 272....in my OL, you just gotta stand there and take it.....:drink:

where do you boat ?

and dont forget,,,, the 29 outlaw is actually over 3 feet bigger then the 275 because of including platform in the 27, but not in the 29
