Traded in a 1991 Bandit,registration has it at 24',NADA says 24',but the model is a 223. How long is it? Don't want to mislead anyone when I advertise it.

24' including the swim platform, 22' without.

Robert,

They are considered a 24 foot boat.

1991 Baja Bandit 223 ES 24 Foot

Thanks,guys. Robert

yes

It is my understanding that back in the early 90s that the head guy at Baja had weird ideas on assigning names to boats. Therefore, we have the 223=a 24 ft. boat, 216=a 201/2 ft. boat, a 236=a 23' 8" boat, etc.
It all makes no sense to me!

The 223 name came from when baja didn't include the swim platforms in the overall length. Kind of like the 250, 280, etc. Around 91 or 92 the coast guard mandated that if the platform was molded in, it had to be measured. Screwed everthing up...

Correct. The boats were measured to the transom. My 1990 250 ES is listed as a 25' boat but overall measures 26' 9"
