Baja Hammer, thoughts?
Baja Hammer, what was the intent for building this. What comes to mind when you see a Hammer?
For my self it seems like a rocket for low dollars, my family is just having a blast. It also seems very fast for what it is. I read someplace it was considered the corvette of boats at one point in time.

Had a 2000 hammer, great boat, handled decent for a 21', ours had the 7.4 310 hp and it ran mid, upper 60's everyday, I personally liked the hammer over the donzi, velocity, and scarab, it was a great first boat for us to get into the performance boat world

My first Baja boat was a ‘99 Hammer w 7.4 / 310 hp bought in ‘99. I had a blast that season before trading up to 272 w 454 mag mpi. I really enjoyed everything about the Hammer but just needed a bigger boat. You’re right on the mark with your impressions.

My first boat was a 97 hammer with a 310hp 454 with ported heads and stainless marine exhaust. Boat ran 68-70. Great boat very spacious and had a built in cooler in the floor which I loved. I now have a 22 progression with 380 kplanes and a 300xs. Totally different animal but the Baja hammer will always have a place in my heart. Like posted above. Gateway drug.

If you have small water, want to look cool and sound nice it is a great boat. But personally, I would skip it and go right to a H2x or a 25 OL.

We are at 74mph with 7.4mpi, flashed ecm, KN, replaced TB gasket. Labbed 23p and 25p Mirage Plus props by BBlades. 23 p gives us 70mph at 5100 rpm, 74mph on 25P labbed at 4900 rpm. Best boat ever. We have big Chap we use for family activities, I just haul butt in the Hammer with a friend. Been great to have. 410 hours on the engine.
