i think you are refering to the baja motor yacht line, I also just purchased one please post some pics of your boat if possible. i would love to trade info.


also what craig is refering to is more current than what twoforshow is talking about.

bubba68, I see your is on a trailer. I have a 1993 and it has no tow eyes. I would like to add tow eyes to mine and hope you can provide me some info. Did you add them yourself? If so what did you use for tow eyes and support on the inside and how did you do it? If they were there any chance you can measure the distance of the front two eye from the bottom of the puplit? Also, have you looked inside your anchor locker to see how the tow eye is mounted from the inside?

i would really appreciate help with the above. As you can imagine I am nervous about adding the two eyes and one day while pulling the boat out i pull the whole face of the boat out.

Thanks

Andre

twoforshow. In case you are still looking for some info.I have had the boat for two seasons and love it. It goes on a plane very fast, handles great, very smooth and takes on wakes very nicely.

I have also done a lot of work on it myself so, ob the most part, i know how to get to things if you want to know anything.

I have a pdf of the original sales brochure. I tried to attach to this post but it complained that it is too big. If you want a copy send me your email and I will send it to you.

What RPM were you running at 29mph? I have taken the boat to close to 40 at 4200RPM an backed off. I have the 5.7 magnums with alpha ones and stainless props.
