My neighbour just told me he may sell his 2002 Baja 232. Has 6.2 motor with not many hours. He take immaculate care of it and it still looks brand new. It is mint and I'm not just talking it up. If you wanna know more pm me.

232 to P-I-B
I'd love to make the trip to P-I-B. We were in CP last Tuesday and that'd be great by boat. Can it be done in a "semi normal" Lake Erie day in a 232? I can handle taking a weekend trip and if Sunday is 6-8 footers staying the extra till Monday to let the lake settle down. But if the 232 won't get me up north (Lexington, Port Sanillac, Grand Bend) and down south to P-I-B. Then I need a 252.
I'd also like to do some tow sports with the boat and I think (maybe??) the 252 is getting big for that?

Andrew,
Yes there will be a good bit of difference between them. Remember the 252 is really 25' 6" long with a short 1' extension on the hull and the 232 is really 23' 2" with a 2' extension on the hull. Not to mention the deadrise increase the 252 is almost a 25 Outlaw hull. The 232 is a great little boat and would be fine on most days on St. Clair, but you need a 252 so you can go to Put-in-Bay!

I have a 252 and believe it is one of the best all around family boats you can find. It will tow anything from inflatables to skiers, it isn't an inboard ski/wake boat (owned 2 of them), but I would dare to compare the ride and comfort it gives you. The 232 doesn't have stand up bolsters, which I will never go back to sitting down again.

Correct 232 = Bolsters
The 232 and up in the performance series has Bolsters.
The H2X and below goes back to sit down seats.
Thats what drew the line for me on choosing a Baja, I definitly want stand up bolsters.
