29 OUTLAW 01-22-2003 06:53 PM

What a rip off...
 
This boat was priced at $99,000 a few days ago. I guess since they didn't get any takers, they decided to raise the price by $18,000!!!

With the deals I have seen on 29's lately, all I can say is I would hate to be on the selling end of this one.

That sounds more like a dealer new boat asking price.

Will that boat run 86 with 496HO's?

Sounds a little fast to me. Maybe he has the rare superfast model that will bring a premium price?

It amazes me how an unattractive trailer can make a nice boat look look unflattering too.

29 OUTLAW 01-22-2003 09:02 PM

I noticed that trailer did not look very robust

You're right, but even worse is that is isn't enough trailer. A 29 Baja with twins needs a triple axle trailer.

Kinda makes you wonder if it's even the right trailer for the boat, doesn't it?

SSComp 01-22-2003 09:59 PM

Yeah and my boat must do 100++

no way that s the correct trailer.
It might make it to the Marina once.

I just bought a 98 boss 302. ( November)
It has a new 2002 Custom Heritage trailer. ( Triple Axle )
That alone was $7200 in April. It helped my decision, since we trailer everywere we go.

86mph........yeah sure. I don't know why people list this stuff with such inflated numbers, ofcourse he may be looking at the speedo saying......"wow, this dude does 86!!!" 25 Outlaw is the smallest Baja on two axles to my knowledge. This has "shadey" all over it. Now, if he comes down about 50 g's..........:D :D

29 OUTLAW 01-23-2003 12:20 AM

Actually I have seen many 29 Outlaws with twin axle trailers (NASDBOY has a twin axle for his). However, the one in this picture has half the boat hanging off the back. It looks much like the trailers I see 25 Outlaws sitting on.

29 Outlaw,

The key is to have the correct axle capacity. If you have two 3500 pound axles and the right springs, you are good.

The one in the picture really looks light as you mention.

Also, I have seen many 35 Fountains on two axle trailers.

This has always suprised me. Anyone know why this is? I would think triple would be much better suited for that application.

CigDaze 01-23-2003 09:18 AM

That seller is just about out of his mind.
A 29 with HO's will run about 77-78. Agreed on the trailer.

TEAMBAJA 01-23-2003 10:21 AM

The trailer reminds me of this old jet ski trailer a buddy had once. Cheap looking.

The boat looks great though. There were a bunch of them sitting out in front of BAJA the other day, all snow covered. Seen two 36s leaving town on a truck heading south. Shortly after that I seen a truck with 8 NEW trailers heading south too!

H2Xmark 01-23-2003 06:59 PM

Well the dealer did not say in the add but the boat comes with 2 trailers, the other is a triple axle extreme trailer and the boat has twin whipple blowers to hit that 86 mph and thats not even wide open, NOT!!!:D :D man if it was only April 1

I know this is off the topic, but I must say Team Baja it must be awesome to live that close to the Baja plant. If I lived there, I think I would be lurking in the parking lot looking at boats all of the time. Are you within walking distance of the plant? Eric :)

Actually, there is a bar about a 1/4 mile from the plant. Ive left my car or truck there several times and had to walk in the morning to get it. So, yes, its within walking distance! I hope that wasnt too much info.

Now that my freinds is how you describe distance......:D :D :D

My guess on the 35 lighting 2 axle trailer is that three axle trailers eat up tires in a hurry. We used to use them at work, but went to twin dually axles becasue of tire wear when manuevering.

I have never seen a 29 on a two axle, and would probably have heart palpultations if I saw a 10K lbs 35 lightning on a 2 axle.....:D :D :D

I always thought that as far as Baja goes, 25 is the biggest to go 2 axle......learn something new everyday..;)

bajadude 01-24-2003 06:41 AM

86 mph .... pass me some of that kool aid:rolleyes:

I have got a 29 Outlaw with a single engine on a tandem. the boat is only about 5600 pound with the single. Pulls fine, it is a stock heritage trailer that the manufacturer put with the boat and the paint scheme matches the boat. There is a picture of it on the hand slaps thread in this section of the forums. Eric

29 OUTLAW 01-24-2003 11:37 AM

I have a triple axle trailer and have no tire wear. It was a concern when I decided on a triple axle but I'm happy I did. It may have to do with the fact that the tires are Goodyear Marathon which I think are awesome tires.

garshev 01-24-2003 05:37 PM

DIdn't this thread have some pricing replies yesterday that are gone today? Seems like somebody was buying a 25 o/l and there were quite a few who had opinions. :confused: :confused: :confused:

We back the trailers up to trucking docks about 3-4 times a day. Eats up the tires, plus all told we are talking about 20-24K lbs. That is why we went to the tandem dually wheels. Works out much better.
