Sell the 25 Outlaw and get a 33 Outlaw.

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Pulling the entire rear seat out! Extending engine compartment by 18 inches. Replacing hatch with new extended hatch with two scoops for new KE675's and new IMCO outdrives. Putting two new McLeod electric bolsters in the cockpit making it a four man stand up boat. Completely re-rigging the entire engine compartment with all batteries and trim pumps at the front of the compartment. Taking the swim platform off and having new powercoat paint applied. Sending all the gauges back to Livorsi to have new bezels installed.
Converting Myco trailer over to goose neck fifth wheel style and adding electric over hydraulic brakes. Six new Goodyear Marathons with new five spoke wheels.

Oh, did we say BS or dreaming?

Better just save all this money and buy a new "Top Gun" and pay cash! LOL

But Baja, if you are watching, there are a few of us out here that would REALLY like to see more engine compartment room in place of Cockpit room!

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Sounds Like "BS" to me!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Liquidate everything I own, including the Baja. Leave the family business, relocate and start a new business on my own. Too bad I don't have the nerve to actually do it. Would be way better off in the long run!

Probably just service the H2X and keep it another year.

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

You know me, I would never "BS" anyone. :D

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Winter plans??? Sell my boat hopefully!! And get a new one....But I wont say what on this forum.... :eek: :drink:

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

It's about time do replace valve springs
and lifters.

I keep toying with the idea of extension boxes,
and shortie lowers.



.........Then again, a "suitable replacement"
( that my friends and my bride think that I need to own)
has been found :



Descisions.....descisions.

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Winter plans? Cover the boat up and put it away. If I have time, I might winterize it first!

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Boatless? Wait, I'm lost! Where is your Cig?

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Okay, what did I do with that list I have been adding too....

Ahhh..... here it is
Bolsters recovered
Heads worked
Blower worked
Vents, cleats powder coated
Mech. trim tab indicator installed
Hydraulic steering installed
Lots of trailer repairs OR a new trailer

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Unfortunately, the already too short boating season here is over. Winterization is complete. Just a little clean up and she will be put away
till Spring. Since i despise Winter, i will spend it staring out the window waiting for May to roll around. Maybe take a cruise. No b.s. plans though...the boat only has 14 hours on it. Hydraulic steering would be nice...although i'm not sure if it is necessary.

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

OK what the HELL is Winterizing ??????
Is that when U go out for a nice boat ride on Christmas Day and have
a few beers>>>>>>>>
Or is that New Years Eve....I get so confused in FL.
Sorry..............

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

I HATE WINTER!!!:(

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Someone makes a kit with a new pulley, belt and intercooler that adds 80+ hp to that motor. They hardly boost in stock trim. If you are opeining her up, put some real pistons in, look to go 8.75 or more compression and that intercooler kit. And yes, you still run pump fuel, and yes it is reliable, and yes I have seen it, and yes a procharged 240 will still outrun it ;)

You are really rubbing it in. I've had to scrape frost from my windshield the last 3 mornings. I'm just jealous, though. My grandfather used to keep his Mako at John's Pass. I have great memories of taking it out with he and my dad in february!

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

It is the time we spend putting our boat up for a few months of rest while the people that have boats in salt water spend their time and money rerigging all the stuff that the salt ate.

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Or the time they Florida residents spend arguing with insurance agents on the market value of their now sunken boat.

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans
 

Its a hell of a lot of work to clean the bilge, BUT easy to change plugs that way :D

Re: So now is the time to BS about winter plans

Starting in December I will be looking for a 25-28 footer BAJA. I have now gotten to the point to purchase my boat. Learned alot, been patient, and now I will finally float for next spring. Those are my winter plans!!!!
