I was at LCM this past weekend and i'm pretty sure that the 39 had #6 outdrives not arneson...I will be there this weekend or next weekend and double check on that maybe get some pictures

The red one isn't the same design as the orange one. You want the orange one of the two. :cool:

masher44 09-26-2007 03:38 PM

orange = :drool:

MOBILEMERCMAN 09-26-2007 05:00 PM

MdMark, Skater built them. The Skater/Baja deal never went thru. Skater initially did the design for Baja. Baja dropped the ball.

That will be no problem...I'll be there either this weekend or next weekend. Don't know for sure but it will be soon i'll take a bunch of pic's to let everyone check out. It is a sweet ride from what i saw....

tblrklakemo 09-27-2007 10:10 PM

gawd...those are sweet boats. The red one does have better cockpit IMO. Stand up seats. More refined cockpit. Something about the orange cockpit just looks like a mock up or something.

Definitely out of the two the red boat is more of your pleasure boat that will compete with outerlimits and cig. Getting into the orange boat you are looking at a ton of speed like in a cat but V bottom set-up. So of course the red boat will have the more refined cockpit etc...Red boat like an ol, luxury and power...orange boat all power and light weight therefore less luxuerious.

Someone go to LOTO this weekend and watch for me.

I got a compliment and that is saying a LOT!

we watched it test a bunch yesterday, looked very good running.....

ktron 09-28-2007 11:03 AM

The orange one is WAY nicer than the red one IMO. Six person cockpit, small cabin, dual helm, full stagger, wind protection, merc power, 6's, etc. The only thing it does not have is a rubrail. Better complete package.

I would love to see one with the one-piece wrap windshield. I think that would look killer! Anyone know if they have made any?

If the bottom's are the same...I could struggle with the red one

Well then, for a boat with Arneson's on it, that's not bad.

This is the best I could do. We were too far from the crane when they put it in the water.
