If that boat was 2ft shorter, it would probably do 70 with that power.

Think those boats had a VDO Speedo, seeing 70 on that speedo is no problem.

I RAN SIDE BY SIDE WITH MY BUDDY'S 1993 24, MAYBE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT HULL THAN THE 240 SPORT, NOT SURE, BUT HE RAN IN THE UPPER 60'S BECAUSE I WAS RUNNING 71 ON GPS. REAL NUMBERS FOR HIM WAS PROBABLY AROUND 67 OR 68. HAMMER

1992 Baja Ski Boat

Got to see this to appreciate how perfect this boat is. It has been well taken care of. This 18 1/2 foot Baja is equipped with a 4.3 Alpha One inboard motor with less than 20 hours on it. Includes a brand new six speaker Pioneer Stereo with remote control. Also has a shore lander trailer. Comes with an extra propeller that is stainless steel and very expensive to purchase. A canopy top is included for those raining days or just to get out of the sun. This boat has been winterized and stored every year. The boat is located in Omaha and ready to go. Buyer does reserve the right to end the auction early or sell it locally. Hurry it won't be here long. Any questions can be directed to us via e-mail. What a buy! The family can enjoy this for years to come. This boat flies on the water at plus 80 MPH. Local pick only.


I think ALL Ebay boats are just that much faster than ours :rolleyes:
