Yep a buddy of mine has a 25 outlaw ,and it certainly seems like its a couple feet shorter/smaller.....we are running the same hp he is about 10mph quicker- but I prefer mine esp when it gets sloppy out there

Ya Im not a big baja fan. I think thay are a lil over priced and very over rated. Thats all there is in my home town and the owners really think thay have a high end offshore boat. LOL. Thats just all thay have ever seen. Ignorance is bliss i guess.

IMO Id go with the AT or the PQ. The fountains are quick but are shallow and small inside. I had a 257 and there is almost as much room in the cockpit as my friends 42 fountain and is almost as deep in the cockpit. PQ's are huge for their size and handle the chop well. Not all under 29' are a true V bottom. most are pad bottoms for speed and dont ride as well. heres a pretty good deal on a 280 http://www.offshoreonly.com/classifi...o42402-en.html

i was down at the 1000 island poker run this yr and spoke to the owner of "bullet engines" rob... he just finished repowering a 280 with 650 n/a engine and it hit 83 mph gps. he said it was tracking wickedly at the 80mph range and handled some big chop from cruisers fairly well ....the boat was in the water when i spoke to him and it was a beauty of a boat, no windshield but a faring i guess?
