220 Force - My first Baja (4.5) Too many stories on this boat, I'll have to start an entire thread on it!
20 Outlaw - (5) Basic FUN little rocketship. Had one at Cumberland in the winter running consistant 66+ on GPS.
23 Outlaw - (5) One of my favorites.
25 Outlaw - (4.5) Possibly the most well known BAJA model ever?
26 Outlaw - (5) Fun mid sized boat that can handle some rough water.
29 Outlaw - (4.5) Have countless hours as a rider in Daves 29. Too many Poker Runs to remember! If that boat could talk, Dave would tell it to shut up!
30 Outlaw - (5) Hundreds of hours of seat time here. Enough 30 Outlaw storys to write a book!
33 Outlaw - (5) One of the best Outlaws ever made.
35 Outlaw - (5+) One of my personal favorites. Especially #002 (The Red One), #001 Poker Face and Lucky 7's.
36 Outlaw - (5) As far as I know, Docks is the only one Ive been on. A rock solid ride and it was fast. And that was BEFORE the upgrades! I cant wait........
40 Outlaw - (3.5/4) Most were slow, but looked cool!
190 Islander (3)
192 Islander (2.5) Bill Regans Bastard Child
202 Islander (4) Fun boat!
242 Islander (3.5) Different layout.
277 Islander (4.5) Im not an Islander guy, but this boat had some cool features. The new motor lid was cool!
292 Islander (3.5)
250 Sportfish - (4.5) Cool boat.
34 Sportfish - (4) I really liked this boat. Had room for improvement, but lots of potential!
275 - (4)
278 - (4.5) Nice looking boats!
335 - (5) My personal favorite. Fast, with every option you could possibly want. Practically lived on this boat in the Gulf. I took a shower in this boat at 35 MPH in the Gulf one day!
405 - (4.5) I give this boat high marks, despite the liner issue. This boat handles amazing for a big boat. I deducted .5 for the Coke bottle hull.
174 Sunsport - (?) I dont remember actually.......
250 Sport - (4) Lots of good times on one of these!
HAMMER X - (?) Mixed feelings on this one. Runs upper 70s on GPS with an HO. Probably should have died in this boat, it wasnt meant for the Gulf of Mexico where we put over 100 hrs on it!
245 - (4) Decent mid sized boat. Id own one.
290 - (4) Nice, roomy!
H2X - (4.8) Fun fun fun! Cuts like a knife! Deduct .2 for being a sit down model!
.38 Special - (4.5) Fun boat that looks like a football.
342 - (4.5) Only drove one, and it impressed the hell out of me. Rode on one at LOTO too!
Thats all for now, may edit later. This kept me out of the bar tonight!

I agree, the 20 was our first Baja and it was a fun little boat. I kind of miss having it. Lots of fun, easy to take care of, cheap to operate and still got looks everywhere we went. Only reason we upgraded is because we got into poker runs and 20 feet was just not enough boat.

So was my Bandit that I upgraded to that power.
I got rid of it in 97'....got a change to drive one
( a 20* model) a couple of years ago.....that
brought back all the memories of why I got rid of it
.......beat me to death.....or I've just gotten older
and cant take it anymore.
I still want to get another one...put big power
in it and use it for a smooth water boat.
And, if I ever water ski again,
it had a prettygood ( small) wake too.
IMO it was the coolest looking boat they made.

Most of the time they called me "nuts".
One time, when I was giving the current wife, at the
time, and her friends a ride, hit a bad wave at 70+,
and her friends spilled their drinks, she called me some
names.....names that wont pass through the filter
here
She then developed a complex about going fast.
Bye-bye Bandit... hello 29 O/L w 7.4's.....even though
it was 10 mph slower, and a better ride, she still freaked
out......bye-bye wife...hello 29 O/L w HP 500's
Then, got a new wife that was cool about the going fast
thing
