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
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

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.

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!

.
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

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…

Ok, I have been nice and quiet until now. There is not a baja ever built, or to ever be built, that can run in the same breed as Cigarette, Active Thunder, Apache or Outerlimits. 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.
