I think this one fits the bill of "fast Baja"

I don't know about "no problem." He had 650hp+ a side with boxes and -2 Imco lowers. It ran low to mid 90's.

I would say the 33OL would be your best "all around" choice. Lots of room, better rough water handling than a 29 or 30, and prolly close to being as fast as a 29 with equal power.

I know speed vs. power they aren't close but how does the 33 OL compare to a 32 Fountain? Is it a way bigger boat?
