What do you think?

It could be mine or yours, for your boat and a little boot!

A special thanks to Jeff & Sonya "Steelware" and Jack from the Baja factory.

Even though the weather was bad and the poker run was cancelled, we had a hell of a great day on the water!

The 40 Outlaw, 36 Outlaw and two 25 Outlaws tore up the lake!

It was a Baja day on Lake Norman.

The group of die hard boaters that braved the rain!

CigDaze 05-21-2003 07:27 AM

Oh My....That thing is totally unreal! It's stunning in every way. Love the attention to detail!

:cool:

CigDaze 05-21-2003 08:34 AM

Hey Dock,

In post #6, is that the 2001 APBA Official Pace Boat 442 in the background? If it is, that is one sweet boat as well. The graphics done by Kangaroo are great on that boat.

But the 40 OL, still takes the show!

Steel Outlawed 05-21-2003 08:37 AM

Hey Nick,

That is a 25 Outlaw done by Kangaroo Graphics. It looks just like the pace boat though. Ellis that works for Westport Marina owns it.

CigDaze 05-21-2003 08:54 AM

No kidding?....That perspective, screwed with my eyes. I was just a little off...:)

Looking closer, you're right on. Thanks!

Daze,

Don't feel bad, The first couple of times I saw the boat on Norman I thought it was a 29 Outlaw. The paint job makes it look larger than it is.

The guy that owns it has been a Baja fan for a long time. He bought the 25 in Texas and then had it painted.

Now he works for the new Baja dealer. I think there is a 30 Outlaw in his future!

Caincando1 05-21-2003 11:08 AM

WOW! That thing is off the charts.

29scarab 05-21-2003 12:00 PM

Have to say I'm even impressed with that!!!


Awesome boat!!!

Luv-N-It 05-21-2003 12:57 PM

SWEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! tHANKS FOR THE PICS DOC!

jmeng 05-21-2003 01:17 PM

Baja brought that boat to the Tickfaw 200 and it's bad ass. Looks huge in person.

JaayTeee 05-21-2003 05:39 PM

Dock,
Are those ITS drives?
I see no "shiny" steering rams on the
outer drives.

It is an ITS system, they called it "ZR", not to be confused with XR or XZ, but "ZR".

They really looked bigger than Bravo's?

Not 100% sure exactly what they are.

kidrock 05-22-2003 05:36 PM

The boat ran around 83 on the gps at the jacksonville run. I went buy them like they were dragging a anchor. Standard speedos just make you feel good until somebody who can run the speeds you quote blows buy.:D :p :cool:

I'm sure it did. But was he wide open? :p
Seriously, I know of one such 40 OL that's running low-90's on 500's...I'm sure this one has more in it. :cool: :D :)

GeeterB 05-30-2003 01:09 PM

OK......Talk to the guy and see if you can work out a deal. Yeah, I may trade my little 25 checkmate for it, but he'll have to come up with a few bucks along with his boat so I can afford to put gas in it:D :D :D :D

These guys just cannot stand to have a boat with cockpit and cuddy room, ride, handling and styling out run them for less money!!!!!!!!!!!

It takes more HP to push these true vee's, but damn they are SWEET.;)

You forgot to mention reliability.

bajabob38 05-31-2003 07:55 PM

Love that steering wheel

GATORONE 06-01-2003 10:29 AM

Everybody has a 80 or 90 mph boat until they put a gps in it. It was a very nice boat and yes it did run 90 on the speedo but only around 83 to 84 on the gps. You do the math it had 30 pitch bravos.

You are 100% right!

The guys at Baja are shooting straight with us, however they also had eight people on the boat from what many have told me!

I was on it Saturday and it is one sweet ride! They are all over the limiters and the boat is going back to repair some damage to the center drive. With the new props they are testing I think they will see 90 MPH out of it.

When you consider the room and ride, it is awesome.

Also, I have had three different boats all with Graffrig speedo's. I have yet to have on that read even three MPH fast. My last boat read 1 MPH slower than the GPS which really sucked. However, every Fountain I have been on reads FAST my many MPH's. It has been posted on OSO many times that Fountain orders their speedo's to read fast! So I understand your thinking.

I love Fountains and don't want to get in a pissing contest with you, but you come over here to Baja.

Steel Outlawed 06-02-2003 09:58 AM

Well said Dock.

Everyone on here OSO has a nice boat, some may be faster than others, but that does not give anyone the right to bash them. I personally love the Baja Outlaw styling and performance. My 25 Outlaw might not be the fastest boat on the water, but it can handle some pretty tough conditions and still run in the lower 70's. In this thread we were just talking about a boat that really was a sweet looking boat. Then somehow it turn into a someone with a Fountain bashing Baja's.

Sorry about the ranting, just had to get this off my mind.

Big E 06-08-2003 09:12 PM

Hey Dock - I saw that boat tonight on Interstate 44 heading east about 50 miles outside of St. Louis. The truck pulling it was all white, kind of a tractor trailer type truck, the truck had a BajaMarine.com decal on the drivers side door. I drove right along side of it. I figured it was heading to Bucyrus Ohio, since the trailer and truck had Ohio license plates. The boat had triples sterndrives on it. It is one awesome boat.

Dock Holiday 06-09-2003 06:24 AM

Big E, where you been hiding dude? Good to hear from you again!

That is the one, they are taking it back for repairs. The center drive is shot!

Also they plan a prop change from what I understand. Still dialing it in.

As the rep said, this could be your next boat!!!

They will take it back to the factory at the end of the season, totally go through it and offer it for sale. Better get your name in the hat!

Big E 06-09-2003 09:09 PM

Dock - I've been busy re-habbing some rental property, it took a lot of my time during the evenings after work, but I'm done now and its rented out. Its nice to have some spare time in the evenings to do some catching up. Do you have your summer plans made out for LOTO yet? The clock is ticking and the water is just starting to warm up. Nice to talk to you again.
