I love the looks of that 35 outlaw!

Thank you "Dukedonzi"! Just got her down here to TX in August, off of Lake Michigan. She was stored in Racine.....Night and day difference from my 30 Outlaw I just sold up in Chicago (sent that one up from TX)......

As you can see by my post count I've spent lots o f time over here, but now spend it over on BajaBoatOwners.com I've been onboard for a longtime. Just spend it over on BBO

Very knowledgeable about the Baja boats, this Irishtornado guy ^^^^^

Always helps with questions.

Welcome "foosdaddy"

Agreed..

Welcome "Fred Man "

My vote for the location of the Baja owners get together is Up here in the Lake Michigan.. We will show you guys door county and some cools spots....

May not be a bad idea.....let's see if we can get some discussion going about it...As a matter of fact how about we get some input from everyone as to where we can have a great "BAJA BLOWOUT BASH" this year and make it happen.

Showtime, I had an idea but wasn't 100%! Now, figured it out. Welcome back in the game W!

Tks

I was and am a big a fan of Baja. Owned a 27.2, 29OL and a 35OL. Boatless for a few years now.
Great times!!\
MY 29 was pretty fast and the 35 rode great!
Here is a video I did when I did a family trip to Islamorada Florida. (Was doing one of those typical Helo 5 minute rides with the wife and got to talking with the pilot I had a boat and would love to get some video. He said sure...100 bucks later.. My bro in law took my handycam and I went out the next morning)

some raw footage.

Hossman was my contact for the 29OL purchase. Great guy ! Thanks.

Enjoy!

I guess last time I saw you was at Papa's I believe, 2010. Right before I took delivery of the 302. Saw Eddie and wife at a Texmex place a couple of months ago.

Hey Bowtye Dennis. Just was looking through some older pics the other day and found the one of us at Captain Hirams when I met you and the wife. I guess your still in Vero? We are still going to Ft. Pierce a few times a year and have even thrown around the idea of renting or purchasing a cheap condo there.

That's a great video and just think how it would of been with todays technology.

I remember. Great times.
Yes I wish I had a hd camera back then.
I do still live in vero. Travel some to Tampa and Atlanta. Good to see some ole names around here.

Welcome 'bowtye8' Very nice picture's and great video

We were in Florida for a month in the summer. Spent 11 days of that cruising on our friends Hatteras to the Abacos. Now they have a 57 Viking. Still at Ft. Pierce City Marina. Were back there in November for a week after spending 10 days in Key West for the boat races. While in Ft. Pierce took their Viking down to West Palm for the weekend. He's still getting the bugs worked out of it. Probably be back down in May. Then back again in July for most likely a month. This is the reason we are boatless now.

I'm looking to officially call myself a baja owner.

Can someone give me some advice on how much I should pay for a 25ol with 496magHO stock with 175-250 hours? Is nada even reasonable when buying a boat. With no options, they have a 2005 outlaw w/ trailer priced at 26k, seems low.

In my opinion, its low for a boat that really is in "like New" condition... but there are boats that are listed as pristine, or like new, that in my opinion the book is a little high on... so "I" think its just a guide not a bible and condition is going to dictate what the real value is... I think you may have to pay more for the "right" boat. that's just my opinion.

Bowtie8 (Dennis) it was great meeting and working with you back then... I remember that one pic you have of it on the trailer very well....that was a fun 29 for sure, amazing how time has flown since then! Larry really loved that boat and hated selling it but wanted to move up at the time. I still talk to him every once and a while and he still hasn't bought another....prob his daughter (my x-wife) who hates my guts won't let him buy another boat since it is something I loved to do...lol. Hope to meet up with you again someday too man!

Curious.... were there, or are there any 29 Outlaws (twins) out there with the 525 package? Now that gas prices are down I can start to look at putting a 1650 or one of the Goodwin power plants in my single 29 Outlaw. At the same time I'll be solving world peace. This will all happen when Ellen Degenerate goes straight.....

There are a few factory 500 boats out there I know of, one is for sale now on powerboatlistings.com (unless it is an old ad). We had it listed at MMax in Houston for a short time. There may be 1 or 2 525 boats but I'm not too sure. The price point was too close to a 33 even with the HO pkg in the 29's which is one reason most dealers did them with small power or MAGs only. There was that solid blue 30 OL that had the 600's in it that popped back up for sale a few months back, think it may have been at LOTO.

There are lurkers like me around. . I will be in the market again for a 23is lake boat for my cabin in Ny soon. I saw in the last year or so my old 22 tc and my 33ol 4sale. It was so long since here I had to re register

Welcome " smorgan"

Welcome to the board smorgan, my 33 OL is for sale with or without power

Smorgan, I remember you from the days of TBM and even remember you having the TC. Welcome back!

I just paid 37k for a 2003 25'ol sst with a ho in pristine condition with 250hr with every option so id say that's cheap but I saw them across the board from 25-50 this was in my area and from a friend. Everyone's idea of a perfect boat is different mine is the good kind of perfect i'll post some pics when I get her home.

I'm really liking my 2001 Baja 25 Outlaw. Which has the Mercruiser 425 hp 496 MAG H.O. I'm not going to at all upgrade to a bigger boat. The boat is ideal for big and small lakes and rivers. Easy to store and to tow. Ease of cost and maintenance as well. I like my boats stance. The sound and speed. I'm totally fine not having to be the biggest, fastest, and loudest boat out there.

Welcome to OSO smorgan! Be warned this site is very dangerous on your wallet.

If you have a +/- range of just 3' I know of a VERY unique 26OL (the only one built for 2011) in showroom condition with great upgrades that is a perfect "lake boat". The 26OL has a lot of room in the cockpit and cabin for a boat in that size range.

Let me know if you want more information

Any Baja owners here near Pickwick Lake? Just brought mine up there for the 2015 season, hope to see some of you out there on the lake.

Beautiful lake, spent many a summer there back in the day

I see your at Table Rock, we almost decided to bring it there or Hot Springs but it was just too far a drive for us. Hope to go there someday.

Once you boat on table rock you might not want to go home.....lol

Have not seen it yet but I hear it's very nice. All we have here in Madison is the Ross Barnett mud hole. Can't wait to be on Pickwick.

Really missing Table Rock and Norfork lately.

We're getting snow, Im sure that's not happening in Houston

its really cold down here too!! A chilling 40 degrees!!! lol

LOL, it was -15 in Buffalo this morning, that's where my new TG is, but its nice and warm and Tim is taking good care of it

Rick's use to the winters being from ST louis

Is that your new boat in your picture?

I am actually missing winter, I do have snow running in my blood, I grew up playing hockey and skiing whenever I could.

The thing that rough down here, one day we're out on the boat in 81º weather and the next day it is 35º rain. Kind of hard for the body to adjust.

Funny story, friend from STL flew into HOU and had a few hour sit about a month ago, he called me around 10pm and to say it is really cold down here. I told him I'm glad to hear it, I thought I was turning into a puss since this particular night it wasn't below freezing. :D
