are you talking about the deck or the hull??

jmeng 06-07-2012 08:33 AM

Hull. On the powerquest, the length (28') includes the swim platform correct? Not the case on the Baja Outlaws. So when you knock off 2' for the platform its more like 26'. Making it about a 3' difference.

Just to make it clear, this isn't a knock on Powerquest. Most (or all) the companies with molded in platforms include them in the measurement.

yeah you are correct but...

the better design hull that the 280 has with a step in it a notch transom a raise x and a delta pad more than makes up for the extra 3 feet the old design straight V hull thats on the bottom of the 290..

and you must know that because for a twin engine boat your not that much faster..

but both nice boats ...

Seems like I've stepped into a little Baja hate. Just trying to help the original poster with his question. Y'all have a good one.

I, like you wanted the original thread started to know the difference as well..good or bad..

Im guilty for hijacking the thread and stirring the poop. It was fun getting everyone fired up. Im gonna try to run a 29 Ol at the poker run in a couple weeks and have my fiance video it with my phone. If hes stock i think i can take em. Should be interesting.
