NO, NO, NO,

He can't change the graphics! That thing is a work of art!
And I don't want it if he changes it.

Actually, i don't think he'd care if anybody knew where it's at, he'll show it to anybody that wants to see it. It's in Low Moor IA, Hawkeye Boat Sales. Population 280.

I hope he keeps the graphics also. I'm guessing he will. If I get up there, i'll try and take some pics of something just to tease everybody. Did somebody say it was a twin step, cause I only remember 1 step. Maybe i'm forgetting tho. I just remember thinking how kick a$$ the side exhaust was. I think he bought it pretty much for what the motors and #6's would sell for. Still 2 rich for my blood tho....

BTW

The "Team Baja" graphics are killer... why did they only use them on fishing boats?

Oh and my poster is framed

Yep, you're right! The family that owns Hawkeye Boat Sales in Iowa have it now. That is one sweet ride! These guys know how to set up Baja's. If they change anything, they'll make it better. They have a Doug Smith special edition 36' Outlaw with staggered 750HP Merlins as well.

Awesome...Thanks Gottahaveit!
Looks great up close in that detail!

If I'm not mistaken, the graphics were done by Kangaroo Graphics. What ever happened to them?...Their website is no longer available...

Ah-HAH!! I knew you guys wouldn't let me down!!

So it's in Iowa and they prob. bought it from Baja themselves. I figured it would be in ruff shape since it was used by so many different people who weren't the "actual" owners i.e. dealers, reps, etc. I think they were selling it for 150K. well UNDER the cost of 3 #6's and 3 800 sc's. Hope they get it on the water soon. That thing is one of the nices boats I've ever seen!!

Mad Max.....Try to get some shots of the engines...I'd really be interested in seeing exactly how the rigging was done on those pipes.

Just thinking out loud
Stripe,

I'm sure that boat runs like a bat out of hell!! They used the **** out of it on the apba circuit for a couple of years. I think the reason they did not put it into production is there commitment to building non-stepped traditional offshore style hulls. I'm sure it was Baja's way of saying, "Look, you nay-saying loosers...you don't think Baja can build a top of the line bad ass twin stepped boat, built as good or better than ANY other offshore boat on the market for under half the price....Well here it is!!! Now F*CK OFF!!"
Of course, that's just the way I see it...I could be wrong

That's a nice assessment, Tank!
I agree, that's probably exactly what they were thinking!!!
And they said it so well, with such an awesome boat!
