Default 30 Outlaw Issues

Just curious as to any issues out of the ordinary anyone has had with their 30. I sold my 2003 25 Outlaw and am considering an 05 30 Outlaw. It has MAGs and wish it had HOs but i had a MAG in my 25 and it ran flawlessly for the three years i got to enjoy it. PROS CONS thoughts and ideas....ready...GO!!

Nice boat, but extremely difficult to work on it. It's almost as if they put the motors in before they put the top deck on. The engine compartment is ridiculously tight.

I would search this Baja thread for the answer to your question, there is a lot of information and opinions about that hull. I personally would do a lot of homework before buying one.

Nice boats overall. Like any boat there are good and bad and the bad seems to make people talk more then the good.

Good luck on your search and enjoy!

I have a 2004 30 outlaw with 496 mags and it runs top end around 73mph and I love the boat. But i would agree on not having any room in the motor hatch to work on them. They are tight. Took me 4 hrs to change all 16 spark plugs.

The 30 Outlaw had several known liner issues. Several where complete replaced due to liner separation under warranty. I personally know of 3. Like was said above do your homework on this boat before laying out the cash. I personally wouldn't own one.but thats mainly because there is no recourse now if you have problems.

Cool 30' Outlaw

I have had nine different boats in my time on the water. One of them was a '05 30 Outlaw and I can tell you it was my favorite. We boat on Lake Cumberland and it was the perfect size boat in my opinion. Great ride, very stable at 78 MPH with HO's, and more storage than any other comparable 30' boat. Yes the engine compartment is tight, but most twin engine applications are a _itch to work on. I loved that boat and wish I never would have sold it. If you like Baja's you will love this boat.
