Re: 30 Outlaw in Powerboat Mag
 

Beast1,

I agree with you on the "entry level boat" comment. I do not consider a boat that is capable of running 80 stock an entry level boat.

I did not like the comment about the boat not dominating 2-3 footers. I am sure if you had other boats in the same class they would all be really close.

I know they had problems calling it an "entry level boat" because of it's sticker price, size, and total package....It's a nice boat for an entry level. But it was one of the upper level entry level boats and that is what it should be called when compaired to a new 38' + Cig, Fountain, OL, Skater, etc. etc. Even Cigs new "Vice" is called an entry level boat (by Cig!)....Don't get offended by the wording, being entry level isn't a bad thing. THey don't call the 40' Outlaw and entry level boat. Over 30 is experienced level (usually second boat owners) and under 30' is entry level (1st boat buyers)....for the most part.

I didn't see the comment about the boat not domminating the 2-3's but I can tell you my 24' hits that stuff every time I use it practically and hammers them down :D Ask Al, he's seen it run :eek: :drink:

I had an H2X and have boated all over the country with it, Lake Michigan, Texas, Florida and NY. Let me tell you the roughest water being Lake Michigan and New York Harbor. Never once was a scared of the boat not being able to handle the rough water.

If my H2X could handle 2-3 footers and water taxi wake I would bet the 30 Outlaw could dominate 2-3 footers.

I don't know how a 30 rides but a 29 is actually kind of boring till you hit 4 footers.

Very true :D :D

That boat runs hard and Tank knows how to drive it! Shiat, we get 2 to 3's inside the breakwater! :D

Re: 30 Outlaw in Powerboat Mag
 

When they said "entry level" I think they meant entry level into twin engine boats, not boats in general.

Is anybody running really big power in a Baja? Like Sterlings, Phaffs, Zuls, etc? I don't think I've ever seen one. I'd like to see a 36 Outlaw with about 900HP per side!

That is sweet! 900SCs with #6s. Seams like it is priced pretty right too.

Re: 30 Outlaw in Powerboat Mag
 

got a friend whos a baja dealer says there about 30% markup in the new 30 from invoice to list...that would put cost in the high $1 teens
