Hi All
 

Nice Forum. Anyone here from the upper Ill/Iowa river rats? People really like their Baja's here. Got a 97 32 outlaw that I get to play with. Anyone know of any coming events for the Quad Cities, Clinton or Dubuque area?

Welcome...were always looking for new Baja members

good to hear from you, welcome

welcome aboard.............:D

Welcome to OSO. Notched Baja ??? Did you cut steps in your Baja??????:D :D :D Wardey

No didn't do it myself. The transom was notched at Baja as a one of a kind. According to Hawkeye Boats, it was the only one ever done. At least on a 32 outlaw. Came with boxes, drives raised 2.5", blueprinted bottom and 525sc's. It was Baja's poker run boat for 97.

Whoa.....you gotta be seeing mid 80's with that package. What are the speeds? Sounds like a sweet ride, got any pics??

Oh yeah, welcome....;)

Welcome to the board! Sounds like an awesome ride you have! :)

I rode in that boat when hawkeye had it,
it does haul the mail:cool: :cool: :cool:

Re: Hi All
 

Welcome Notched Baja.
Did you ever know a guy named Bo Verbick
he boated up that way with a 98 BOSS 302.
I am from central ILL we get up north once in a while.

Welcome to the board. Enjoy!

Thanks for the hearty welcome. To answer some questions. The 525sc are pretty much gone in the boat. The original owner who I bought from had them at up to 460ci with 750hp and drives beefed up. It would run in the mid 90's that way. As part of the sale the blowers came off and the engines were freshened and taken back to natural aspirated. The engines turned 425hp a side now (still 8.2-1 comp) and runs in the mid 70's. I'm putting some 250 blowers back on it. It will keep them under the swim deck and should run apprx 600hp and mid 80's. Mid 70's is too slow for this boat.

Don't know the guy with the 302. We do a lot of boating around the Princeton beach area of the mississippi.

I will try to get to the Dubuque poker run this year. Where is a good place to stay and dump the boat in there?

It's been a good ride so far. I did a Hawkeye Boats poker run in the Ozarks last september and bent the sticks forward for almost the whole thing. 200 gallons later that is! :)
