My thoughts that are worth less then 2 cents
I'm happy to see the 35 back. I personally like the lay out . Cabin is a usable size and a big cockpit. I have both a 30 and 33 in my Garage and compared apples to apples. 35 is the perfect mix of the 2 wile not moving up to a 38 or 40 foot boat.
2 different fonts of "Baja" on the boat
. Notice the embroidery on the back of the seats is the original Baja font wile the all the rest is the new style font used in N.C. (cabin, glove box, side)...
I would like it better if they stuck with the original numbering system and call it a 35.
1 Simrad in the entire dash? Give me at least a couple analog gauges. 2 techs at a min.
Engine hatch needs some design. Not all white.
My guess it will be $300k.

Tough crowd.
I think it looks pretty damn nice, I'd be happy to own it.
Personally, I prefer a few gauges Vs Garmin displays and front seats look a bit high in the pictures, may look different seeing the real thing.
If I recall correctly, there was a new 35' with 496's sold to a guy on here late last year. Predominantly red and white colors and it was advertised at 189k which sounded sensible to me. I don't know what the Merc Racing engines add to that but I still think it's a nice looking boat

not bad, like the seats just not the diamond pattern, and the dash looks goofy.... need a bigger display and drop the switches down. I have seen a few newer baja's and the rigging is night and day nicer from the day they left ohio.. wish my 08 30OL looked as good as some of the newer ones...

Bill Day has the boat at his dealership in Ky. Asking price is 249,500 with 520's. He is looking at adding 2 smartcraft gauges (one on each side of the Simrad) . Here they were doing some photoshipping and getting feedback on the idea.

Looks so much better with the gauges and I'm sure whoever buys the boat will enjoy being able to see the tach and other info for each engine. Still prefer a large display with the accessory buttons down below
$265K with trailer isn't bad for a boat with blue motors in it.

I could never operate a boat with split trans/throttles. Many times I put it in gear, blip the throttle and take it out once its back at idle all without taking my hand off the wheel. I cant imagine having to go back in forth to the wheel with both hands.

I might actually like it.. Would beat when I have grabbed the throttle to take it out of reverse couple times and nailit!! Always have to make sure I am paying attention to my hand placement when not looking and just feeling around when docking.

I've heard that docking is a lot easier especially backing. Turn around and stand in the doorway and shift with your left hand. Glad to see this one sold and they have another one with 540's on order. I'd like to have a few options to choose from when I upgrade in 10 years.lol

Sad to see that this is the new 36 Outlaw IMO...
Why didn't they use the old 36 hull that rode great & just use the new materials that are available now to make it better & make it a stepped hull???
The 35 hull rides like **** in the rough waters according to the people I talked to last year that owned them at LOTO.
I was looking at one that was for sale there at LOTO & 2 different current owners of 35s talked the Wife & I out of it because of ride & lack of performance out of the hull...

If you want a stepped hull, you can order/build a Fountain or Donzi. If you want a straight hull you can order a Baja. Reggie has stated that several times. They are all built down the same line with the same people same material. Your choice on stepped hull or not. They still have the Donzi and Fountain go fast boat molds, just don't advertise it. Also I'm not 100% sure the 33 or 36 Outlaw molds are around. But some reason I swear I saw a photo years ago fomr the fountain factory that had a mold labeled "36" in the back ground . ( I could be wrong on this tho would need to consult my Bucyrus expert).
In my opinion the new 36 was a "feeler" boat to see if it would sell in today's market .. And will, Bill Day sold it in 2 weeks with snow on the ground!!! So there is a market for it.
