I have a chance to pay too much for a really clean looking 86 Baja 22 Sport w/350
seller says gel coat re-done.... I know about checking stringers on the older Baja's
Gonna go see it this week ...any other thoughts? Thanks in advance. Doug

bottom is too flat. bouncy little sucker. no real value. i have an 87 down the street from me. 454-alpha. he wants 2k. nobody is buying it. decent river or back-bay boat. i wouldn't go out the inlet in it....

They are cool looking boats. I had a new Sport 220 back in '88, custom ordered it, got to pick all the colors and powered with a 454 Mag. Had fun with it on the lake but would hand your azz to you if it got rough. As above, relatively flat (21 degree) bottom.

They are one of the best looking 22 foot boat ever built, long nose and low sides. The boats look longer than 22 ft. They make great lake or river boats, big water boats they are not. Because of their light weight they are pretty quick, up grade to a LS motor and you could run in the mid 70s. I have one with a mild 540 in it, if I did it again I would do an LS motor like a Z06. In Texas and OK. I have seen them go from $7000.00 to $15000 depending on how clean and how they are powered. Hope this helps.
good luck.

Nice pics. When I bought mine, there was nothing like it up here. Bought it from Performance Marine in Oxford, MA. -Bought three new Baja's from them, 210 in '87, the 220 in '88 and a 280 a couple yrs later. Great boats that all held their value well.
