Hey, Bruno! Got a new toy!

Picked it up today. 2001 25 foot Baja Islander, Awesome boat, only 240 hours on her. Just cant figure out why the dizzy is in the back of the motor!!!
Buddy told me this is the kind of boat women get nakked on!! WHHOOOOHOOOO!!!

Sounds like you got the anchor w/it. LOL. JK have fun w/it,and be careful.

This is worthless without a pic. Baja makes some nice boats. Several friends have had them and loved them.

Spray a bit of blue paint on that powerplant, most on the river can't tell the difference after one or two cases of beer! That is a nice boat. I looked at a few Baja's in the 24' and 26' range, I settled for a 24' Four Winns Liberator, it too had orange power dressed in black. I must say, I never had a minutes trouble out of that engine and it gave excellent service. However I must say! As you, I was very happy with my new boat and was very picky about it, but I was just as happy when I sold it 17 years later, like new!

Enjoy and be safe,
Dave.

I thought Bruno had a big boat???

I have averaged about 5 or so gals/ trip to the lake with mine. Two of them gals are my daughters though.
On a serious note though my 25' Mariah with a BBC and Bravo3 will do about 20 gallons/ afternoon on the lake pulling tubes and skiers and drinking a few beers. That is about 4-5 hours of lake time. If you run it WFO it will do about 8 or so gallons/hour.

$50 to $70 bucks a trip don't sound too bad.

I usually figure it will cost about $150/trip or so by the time I add gas for the tow vehicle, beer, snacks and such. Not bad for a nice afternoon with the kids and friends.

Not bad at all. I'd spend more than that racing. Not that i'm giving that (racing) up!

Very nice boat Scott, it takes about 900 dollars to fill up the sonic , and you can use that up in a day at the lake ....... btw its the stores boat not mine .....

My Friend/Neighbor had one of those a few years ago. Very nice boat (Bust Out Another Thousand)

I've tried talking him into getting another boat so we can use it when we go camping.... Hasn't worked yet but I'm holding out hope
