Default Favorite Baja of all time???

The Split Decision thread made me think of my favorite Baja's of all time. Hard to pick just one but top 5 for me would be:

No particular order:

1) The 420 stepped Baja (although as time goes by it's dropping on my favorite list because it looks dated)
2) The #6 36 "Team baja" boat
3) The 40 PR edition they dropped off the crane
4) Split Decision
5) The staggerd 36 that is for sale right now.

Poker Face for me, followed by Dock Holiday, Jason Smiths wicked fast 29 and the one for sale right now with the custom paint that looks like an "Outerlimits"

I would also put ANY of Tanks pics up there too

I'd say, based upon looks, not performance
#1 Spotlight (40 Outlaw with 850's - the dropped one)
#2 WetteVette (223 with the ZR1 engine)
#3 Poker Face

1) Poker Face - Love this boat, even tho everybody that drove it said the black was like a furnace
2) Lucky 7's - Loved the paint on this one too, awesome boat. Saw it in person at Kelleys Island and it was hauling the mail.

My memory is fading, but I seem to remember a 40 plus foot Baja with Lambo motors. It was on my home lake a few times tearing it up as I watched from my first Baja. It was a little 17 footer and when I saw that boat, I knew someday I would have a much bigger boat. Finally got there as you can see from my avatar.

My favorite Baja is MINE!!

Kidding, I don't care much for the over the top paint of most of them, but I do like the stagger 36 that's for sale now.
My three favorites are (in no order)

1. Dock's old 36
2. Hank36's recently painted 36
3. JT's bad azz 33

Really like the graphics on the 36 (the one on the purple trailer). That is probably the nicest looking baja I've ever seen. great job.

I will probably always respond with PokerFace being my favorite. The theme and paintjob were like nothing else. I also liked the 525s and the way they sound and perform in that boat. Lucky 7s was ok, but I always thought of it as a "PokerFace II" if you know what I mean. Fun boat though!

Next, at 2nd place if not tied for first would be Dock Holidays 36. The boat was as clean as anything rolling out of final finish at Baja, but what really hooked me was the ride. Dock treated us to a poker run on Lake Erie and it was one of the best days ever. He offered me the wheel once, I declined and have kind of regretted not driving it ever since.

Next would be the first 335 that Jason Billmeyer and I tested all winter down in Florida. Talk about a fun boat, it had it all! Thats the famous "35 MPH shower" boat we laugh about. I had him keep it around 35 mph out in the Gulf while I took a shower. Couldnt run that thing out of hot water!
