Baja Force 200

[nitsuj]

Is anyone familiar with this make an model? I'm going to look at one this weekend. 350 Mercruiser, Alpha 1 outdrive. I haven't seen pictures or anything yet, so I don't know what to expect. I can't find anything about it on the net anywhere. I know it's a cuddy, but thats about it. BTW, it's a 1988. Thanks.

They didnt make a 200 force. maybe its a 216 like my boat. that would be my guess as the only "200" boat made by baja in 88 is a fish n ski thats an outboard. let us know what it is for sure. as i said i have a 216 and would gladly help if i can with any questions. overall opinion is i love it!! fast and rides great handles well.

My best friend owned one for over 10 years. Great boat, handled very well, did 60+ with the 5.7. He sold it for more than he bought it for last fall and bought a '93 290 OS. If I had to point out a flaw the gelcoat was crap. It was a red/white hull with black/silver accent stripes.

This one is an I/O. The owner said it's a 200, but I guess he could have been mistaken. I'll find out for sure when I see it an report back! Thanks.

Re: Baja Force 200

Thats the boat but Dom's was slightly different. The stripes didn't drop down at the rear and there was no rear railing. Must have been an '86? Hull performed very well for a boat this small.
