What a cool boat! Give me some inside info on the model. It sure looks cool enough.
I know, I know..........too slow for me. I'm not looking to buy, just curious.

Baja's attempt at a Black Thunder.

Super nice boats!

I have never ridden on one but have actually been on three over the years and the owners loved them. There was a really sharp one up on Cumberland for sale a couple of years ago with custom paint and triple 500's.

They are very nice in my opinion and the cuddy was like nothing Baja had done before. One of the boats I saw was a reguler in the Florida Powerboat Club and we did two poker runs out of Miami that they attended. I never saw the boat run much but he was always there at the end with a smile on his face.

If you want a cruiser that runs 65 to 70 MPH it is the way to go!

It would be fun, wouldn't it!? I think I could go that route in a few more years.

I bought a 442 two years ago and really enjoy the accomdations. For sure looks better than the black thunder, don,t know if it is as quick. Mine will do 69-70 with a 1/2 tank fuel,water@ poop,tools to fix anything and a big flatscreen. O yea we instaled a 8 gal real hot water heater for a long shower. Has tripple 500 efi that so far have very reliable.I had a couple searay's before for cruising but now i can get some where in a hurryin the baja plus has the bling. last poker run we did we ran in middle of the pac with ac @ taylor made bimini top at 60 to 65 mph and had a great time...........

That's way awesome. It would be nice to be able to dip below to cool off if needed. Bet it makes sleeping at night awesome.
