I have a 29' baja with twin 500hp's and think that the performance outway's the leagnth by far. This is my first performance boat and I love it. I have a friend with a 525 hp fountian and it is funny how I rule his every move. I am a first baja owner and would like to get opinions on my next boat or should I keep this monster???

Baja is a nice boat but once you step up to a Fountain or Cig, Nortech or any of the real offshore boats, you will wonder how you lived with the Baha.

35!!!!!!!!!

I agree.

Which Baja's have you owned?

All depends on budget... A 35 Fountain, Formula, or Baja would be a nice step up. If the checkbook is bigger then the sky's the limit.

I have not owned a Baja. I sea trialed several of them and never found one that impressed me with ride and rattles. Everyone I drove or rode in sounded like it was going to come apart at any time. And this is on a lake. Granted, the newest one I was in was 2001 so maybe they have gotten better in the last few years but I doubt they are of the quality of Fountain, Cig, Nortech or Outer Limits. And price reflects that.

No they're not on the same level as Fountain but its not a huge difference, at least from the examples I've seen. Neither is on the same level as Cig, NorTech, etc. But I wouldn't say that they aren't a real boat.

I don't know but the new 35 outlaws are pretty darn fast though.

I still own my 33 Baja, and it's up for sale. It is a GREAT first offshore boat. Fast enough, 74 mph, two good engines 496HO, twin engine handling and docking and a superior ride foot for foot as the Baja Outlaw series has neither a beak up front or a swim platform or notch transom in back to add to the advertised "length". Its a true 33 foot boat, as compared to my 42 Fouintain which is actually a 38 foot boat (I measured it). And...the GIRLS just Love BAJAS!
