Hey All,
Happy almost spring! Just brought home a new to me 86 Baja 22 Sport. I've been looking for a while and contemplating an inland lake boat vs something I can take out on Lake MI. Looked at a couple Wellcraft Nova's and Formual 223, 242, etc along with some old school jet boats and smaller lake boats. I came across this boat close to home and while it needs a lot of rehab, the hull and stringers are in good shape and will get us back on the inland lakes and seeing how much we can use it before getting into a big lake boat.

It needs the interior redone and from what I've been able to piece together, the engine hatch / sun deck is the only thing missing. A friend is doing the upholstery if I can get the base wood done.
I'm looking for templates for the engine hatch which is missing and rear bench seat which is very rough.

Any suggestions?
Will send pics when I get them loaded up.

Thanks,
H

Contact XT Innovations; they have a lot of OEM Baja stuff, and specialize in upholstery using the original patterns, etc. Often times they'll have some nearly impossible to find part as well.

Yep, from old searches I contacted them first. Unfortunately, they said they could not help me.

Tried to spin the motor last trip home and got about 90 degs and hit a hard stop. Did not sound promising....

Pulled trim around ski locker and have some rot there. 2 other soft spots to look at when carpet is out. 2 life jackets and foam in the "cuddy"!

Does the drive spin freely ? Fill the cylinders full of trans fluid and check with a scope !!
