I'm not sure what your question is, are you talking about this kind of lift, the one's that are used in saltwater or what, if so, I've got one and it works great for my formula, I don't know why it wouldn't for a Baja, here's pics.

I'd be concerned with straps and the relavtively small surface area on the hull. I feel better with bunk style set up fitted to support the bottom and distribute the load.

At a local marina there was a Cig Cafe and a Switzer that hung every year from slings in covered slips.
The Cafe was also tied off in case of wind rather than hanging free as a precaution
Just make sure the Slings are adequatly rated and certified/replaced as needed. If it has the long slings bow (midship) and stern, you should be able to get a cradle rigged under it if the lift capacities are sufficient.

I had a 275 Performance in a sling lift for 7 years with no issues. Bunk style lift is definitely easier if you have the waterfront available. Use heavy straps and stainless cables. Also, overhead lift points should be wider than the boat to avoid squeezing the hull.
