Its all good!

If we were all rafted up together saying the same stuff, we would choose to understand and appreciate everyone's opinions and facts. Enjoying good boating convo. But some Keyboard Cowboys :coolcowboy: Just don't know how to have fun!

OSO is what keeps us "alive" until next summer! If some of the other members can't enjoy it we will just have to make the best of it

My DRW AT rides better than your SRW Baja. :D

It was Baja's business model. They concentrated on high volume sales with large dealer networks and they cost much less than AT's.
The business model fell apart when the economy tanked and boat sales plummeted.

I'm not bashing on Baja either. I had one and it was great boat that I had a lot of fun on.

Whoever started this thread should be shot, I feel dumber for reading my own posts.

"Versus" threads should be banned on OSO!

Just IMAGINE how stupid the young lady in your avatar must've felt when she realized she forgot her pants AND her underwear! Pretty stupid, I'd say!

Yes, it pulls the boat down in the water allowing for a safer turn. Im sure you drive your boats differently. Remember how i said after 75 mph its a different handling aspect because of the steps? Here check this out…
.
1. Begin trimming down as you enter the turn. The more down trim, the more the chine is kept in water, and the more you can accelerate through the turn. To a point. Develop your skill over time.

2. Maximum down trim — not absolute maximum but the max appropriate to the turn’s speed and radius — should occur at the apex of the turn. You can add throttle as you feel the boat slowing. Practice will teach you what your boat is capable of in varying conditions.

3. Begin trimming up as you leave the apex and start straightening the wheel.

Don't you have a show to prepare for? Go on.

Lmao...is this guy really trying to school Pat on driving! ?


If I had 125k to spend on a used boat..The list would be short
37 AT
42 OL Legacy
36 Apache

But since I don't...I'll stick to my little 28 for now. It seems to do ok in the light chop of Lake Michigan

Are you driving your Baja like that, or your Outerlimits? Because you are pretty much describing what NOT to do with a stepped-hull boat...

You are simply out of our league, mister. Every manufacture has had their issues, 42' Revolution. 36' Gladiator, 42' x, 36' apache. Outerlimits bladder fuel tank issues.offshore boat, no matt.

Please do not include the Gladiator in your group of misfits, any incidents were due to driver error. And while the 42X needed a redesign, at least Cig recognized it and moved forward on fixing it.

...Never called any of them misfits...
