The 280 Force, 280 Sport, 280 ES, and 280 Sportfish were all built from the same hull molds. There were a few "Baja 300's" built in 1991 that were renamed 280 ES models and the 300 ES became the Baja 320. The 91' brochure did not show that model because the new Baja 290 was suppose to replace that model. There was also a breif period around 93' we introduced the "Renegade" based on the same 280 ES with a white lowered windscreen and wild paint.

As I recall, they made the pad quite a bit smaller on
the 322 also.....falling off the pad in a 320 isnt very fun.

Agree, It was only like 4' long. Too short IMO, but I never had much seat time in them.

The 342 is a 33ol hull with the molded swim added. We also made the 340 Sportfish by shortening the running surface of the 33ol hull about a foot then adding about two feet of the molded OB tub area.

So, XT, why did you guys do a rounded keel on the 33/342 and not a true delta pad? I can sort of understand on the 342 as it is a "sport" boat but, the rounded delta on the 33 (which was more of less the one of the fastest)? Why? After you guys made Bobby/Crayola's boat with the pad and wider stakes, why didnt you keep the design for production?

You can get close +/- 250 lbs.
Mine is kind of a 342 poker run edition, I gutted it, no fridges, no genny, lightened couches, lightened cabinetry, lightened bed.
