OUTLAW Drew

I am looking at a 2000 29' Outlaw with SINGLE 454 mag. Great condition, and was used on fresh water only. I will be using it in S. Florida. Any opinions? This is my first performance boat. Any help is appreciated.

Is this the boat you're talking about?

The guy must be smoking crack to say this boat will go 74mph. A 25 Outlaw with a single 454mag will only go about 64. Go for a ride and let us all know what it does. The price is pretty good though.

That's the boat. I found it at a dealership though. Called Baja and they said speed in the high 50's. Does the 454 mag mpi have 419 horsepower? I thought it was only 385. The boat does look brand new. Anything I should take a very close look at? I will hopefully be sea testing it on Saturday.

I paid about the same for my 2000, 29 Outlaw with twins. In my opinion I think that is quite a bit for a single engine 29. I just think the boat is just a little too big for a single 454. I would keep looking.

You only paid 59k for your 2000 29' with twins? I haven't seen anything any where near that inexpensive. This one's going for 52k. That's at the bottom of the NADA value. The best I've seen for twins is low 70's. 20k more for one more motor? A bit steep. I will keep looking though.....Thanks.

29 OUTLAW

You are correct about the 385 H.P. I don't know where they got that 419 from. Baja is right on the money in terms of speed with one engine. I just think 50's would be too slow. You would get beat up by everything out there including jet skis. If you want a larger single engine maybe look for a 29 Scarab. They will run well into the 60's with one engine.

It was not easy, we were in a hurry to buy also, but we held out and waited for the best possible deal. The boat only had about 50 hours, the person had bought the mid year 2001 brand new.
I think we were lucky, but I have seen a few, that were pretty close in price.

How about a one of a kind 1997 29 sst with 502 mags,(107) hours, K&N's external steering everything anodized including the swim platformsink transom shower closetawesome stereo with 3 remotes for 65,000, outlawbabeB has seen this boat and it is in great shape

I love Baja's, but I would not touch that, a 29 ft boat is to big and heavy for a single 454mag, SSSSlow to plane, top speed on GPS is high 50's maybe 60 or 61 in salt with a light light load, find one with twin engines or you will be wanting to sell it too

nice boat, but a little older than I wanted to go. Thanks though!
