Hi everyone! I new to this group. I am also a member of Team Baja Marine.
My wife and I recently purchased our first Baja. It's a 1998 272 Boss w/a balanced and blue-printed 502 w/M1 Procharger. approx. 618hp, 85mhp on a Gaffrig speedo. The previous owner was a "gearhead" who had it done right! The work was done by Buzzard Racing. I just visited my Baja (just like every weekend)at my marina. Dreaming of spring! I'm having some additional work done this winter like replacing the transom mounted mufflers tips w/ angle cut 8" ss tail pipes from Corsa. This will provide a true Capt's call effect. The boat currently has Quick & Quiet Plus. This boat will be a big difference from my previous boat (2000 19'Chaparral w/ 5.0L 240hp, approx 58 mph). I'm also thinking about tinting the windshield. Any opinions? I've seen it done and it looks pretty cool.
I'm also looking into new names for the boat. Something with my own identity. It's currently called "INEXCESS".
I'm looking forward (as with my new friends at Team Baja Marine) to learning from all of you about the joys of Baja ownership. My wife and I are ardent boaters on the Chain of Lakes in IL and log around 175 hrs per season. Maybe I'll meet some of you someday if any of you boat there?
Take care

my current boat is a 1990 250es. I had a 250es before but I divorced that boat! went to a scarab until i found this Baja. we have rebuilt just about every thing on this boat. we changed the colors, interior, motor, outdrive, sound system, trailer, etc. The motor is a 540ci merlin. It dynoed at 632hp and 660tq. It has CMI exhaust. 1050dominator, crane roller cam, MSD ignition, and a host of other new components. Of all the single engined boats that are available, I think the Baja is the best bang for a working mans buck. We often take weekend trips and although it is a little cramped, we enjoy it a lot. The boat still needs to be propped out a little better. Top speed as of the last time in the water was 75.4 gps. It has all new gauges with a gps speedo. We just finished the boat and hope to play with it all summer this year. I appreciate all the help I recieved from other members with this endevor. If any of you see us in the water this year please stop and say hello. Name of boat is CUZWECAN. 
I too am new to this site as you can see 
I currently have a 1995 290 with twin 454 mags this is my third boat and first Baja, got a good deal when I got it and have been quite happy with it 
anyway hopefully I will be able to make a few mods, have about 55 hours on the boat

Hi everyone,Steve here.
Relatively new to the group. I'm also a member of Team Baja Marine. I have a 1998 Boss 272 w/a balanced and blue-printed 502. Top speed approx. mid 80's (on regular Gaffrig speedo). Having muffler tips replaced this week w/4" angle cut tips. Should sound Awesome this season!
Dave(Bigwavz). Where do you boat? I live in Gurnee,IL and boat in the Chain of Lakes in Antioch.
