Re: All BAJA owners please advise me as to what to do...
In 98 Baja produced both the 24 and 25 Outlaws. If my memory is correct, all the 24s in 98 were the se.
I'm not sure about the hulls, but there is quite a difference in the top deck/cockpit.

Re: All BAJA owners please advise me as to what to do...
My price range is around 40..
But now after this weekend I am thinking of 1 of 2 things....
1. Take alot of time and make sure it is the right boat......
or
2. Wait until next winter 05 and buy a new boat......
its just that a year seems like a long time and I have waited this long

I agree, if it was my boat, it could be 5,6,7 years old and it would look close to new.... Just like everything else I have always owned.....

What are your boatsmanship skills? What kind of water will you be running? Leave it in the water or trailer for many miles? What kind of tow vehicle? What are your mechanical skills? How many times a year do you think you'll use it?
The above are the issues to consider in purchaing a boat. Better to consider them and make a "good" decision.
My perfect boat truned out to be a 1994 32' Baja purchased in 1998. It is an island runner with a lot of cockpit space. Excellent big wave handling. Sits on a hydohoist. Small enough to get into docking areas and can be transported limited distance linited times with my Expedition. I'm 40 and have been boating all my life. My mechanical skills are good (I riged the boat myself). I use it almost every weekend in the summer.
Since then nearly everything has been replaced and upgraded, a personal choice. I'm just not happy unless I can mess with it. Result...probably the hardest running Baja out there that make expensive boats look silly in poker runs. Still idles/docks nice and my 9 year old daughter can drive easily.
