I can't believe that nobody has commented on the pictures of the new 30 Outlaw. There are a couple of pics of it under photos, then under the "2003 Miami boat show" heading. What do you think?

I think the boat is incredible. It shows Baja's continuous progressive movement and positive direction. Lots of new features. The helm is set up really intelligently, I like the seperate shifters on the left.

I can't wait to see performance tests. I've heard that it will be approximately 6-8 mph faster than the 29 with same power.

I haven't commented because it's hard to get a good idea from the limited number of pics. Things I'm going to look at however:

1.) Those bigs air ducts on the engine cover. I realize they are functional and may be a big reason why the 30 is supposed to be so fast but they look like they render the engine cover useless for laying on, dancing on, or anything else folks do. Perhaps they are optional and not required.

2.) The one picture of the cabin does not look promising. It looks like the forward bulkhead is very far aft compared to present day Outlaws. Just based on the picture, I question whether I would be able to lay fully extended on the birth. Also - the boat in the picture has the optional "military transport cabin" so we don't yet know what the regular cabin will look like but I'm concerned about the length of that birth. Looks Reggie sized.

All the other styling changes look good so far but must be seen up close and in person.

It didnt do any thing for me!!

If this boat didnt do anything for you, maybe you should start a BAYLINER Forum. Bye!

Did anybody happen to see the 30 outlaw @ the miami boat show in person. If so I think first hand info on your thoughts are in order. Did it have a notched tansom or a pad bottom etc etc? The pictures are pretty good but some first hand info would go a long way.

I went to the show, I did not look at the bottom of the boat I liked every thing about it but the area where a wind screen would be it was to squared off this is just my opinion that is what
Millerlite88 ask!!

Is it just the shadows in the picture or did they make the windshield area "caved in"?

This is a bad ass boat looked at it for quite some time. They did a **** load of improvements to this boat. The engine hatch is totaly functional and yes you can walk on it. The guages and shifters location are great. I will try to post some pics of it later.

We took out an 03, 36 outlaw with 525's and xr drives at the show. Very impressed with the boat. With 5 adults full tank of fuel she did 80 on the gps. We tested many other brands of boats similar sizes hands down this baby was the best! The boats we tested also where more money.

We launched the boat completly out of the water on some big wakes,the landing was great and smooth.
