it takes that many to get together to have a whole set of teeth, you should see the video, it looked like a cross between the 40year reunion of cut and shoot high school and the night of the living dead, the only way it could have been worse is if it had been karaoke night at papas, it was apparently bad dancing fat girl night and that was bad enough....

as far as going under the bridge at 90, they do it in the Keys all the time, if you can hold on to it, go for it....

i think its funny that someone brought a boat that goes faster than baja's own factory boat, but then again i havent seen baja take to many national championships ( or even participate in many ) so i guess it makes sense!!

I didn't outrun Lucky 7's, but I did come close & I'd throw an a$$ whoopin on it now.
Both these were taken at Conroe & about 5 or 6 can be added to the speed now.

On the other hand, it was flat calm on the intercoastal, so a report on the boat’s offshore ride attributes is not possible.

Starting off at idle and working up to full throttle, there are a couple of points to consider. First is how noticeable the boat’s performance picked up once fully on plane––the hull speed doubled from 2000 to 2500 rpm. Next was the very strong acceleration between 4000 rpm (62 mph) and wide open throttle (68 mph)––in this rpm range, the engines are working at the top of their torque curve, and the amount of acceleration remaining above 60 mph was substantial. Running at over 65 mph, the boat felt like it was on tracks, rock solid with no hint whatsoever of instability.

That sure is an efficient hull doing just over 90mph at 1000rpms

Is it still true that if you have had a cell phone in your own name for 6 months, you can purchase a Baja??
you might be able to work a deal on a formula only if the credik is right

I agree, the Bajas made a great run. I am confident that the 38 special will make the whole run this year
