97 Baja 180 islander, any good?
Hey guys, been looking around for a new boat for the bay down the shore. I wanted to get something around 23ft, but I've been offered this boat at a killer deal. It's garage kept, fresh water only which is a big plus for me as its an older boat. how do these older baja's run and ride? It's kinda smaller, but I'm okay with that. It's got a 5.7 alpha combo with a 21 pitch stainless on it. Any idea on the top speed? just wonder how this boat is vs my old maxum.
Any help would be great thanks guys. |
Guess this boat wasn't to popular

My first boat was a 1996 180 Islander with a 4.3L V6. It was a great little boat that handled rough water pretty good for it's size. Mine was easy to work on and seemed well built. You should see close to 60 mph I would think with a 5.7L... with a labbed prop, mine went mid-50's pretty easy. I miss my 180 a lot.... mostly at the gas pump.
