I kept my 43' at the 19mm and got in just as the rain hit. Only way it could have been better is if there wern't any other boats in the way. Or the next year when I was running my Cat.

If there is truth to the Baja claims is helped by the fact that there is Baja's running all over the lake. im sure more than any other brand.

You are supposed to duck as that 2 feet of water comes rolling across your bow deck coming out of the stuff - that way you stay dry and everyone in the back seat gets wet!

The lip on the windscreen deflecting the water upward
probably saved them more from getting wet, than us,
in the front taking the hit.

I figured we would break deep into it,
but never figured that we wouldn't make it completely
over it......hit them many times before, never had
any issues......now, I know better...I'll be prepared to
duck

The biggest water ever here was 2004 Shootout when the thunder storm came in fast right after the show was over. I had my 43' Flat deck it was fun.

Never seen a 12'
Whose boat?
