Lets see some pics of old bajas!

Mines built pretty much the same but I've changed the pattern. The bottom picks up and makes for a nice place to store ropes and such.

I had to rebuild my wood base, and made it the same way. Bottom flips forward (hinged at front) and then you can pop the seatback out.

I picked up a few yards of marine vinyl to sew up some new covers this winter. I'm at a loss about what to do with the fronts. I think I might just make up some more bucket-y style and try my hand at making my own coverings.

Took the Baja for a joy ride yesterday with a buddy in his Laser and tried a couple props for kicks. 29p 4 blade spinelli got it up to 69mph at around 5400 rpms(video). Also ran a 25p chopper to 5700-5800rpms at 71mph.

Here is my 76ish Baja V-1800 with a 455 Olds and a Berkley Jet. It's new to me, it has a leaking gas tank and needs new plumbing to the headers, it ran great on the test drive, I hope I have it back in the water in a month or so. I'll post up scans of the original brochure tomorrow.

^^^Looks good. I wouldn't even be trying to run in those water conditions. Maybe putting along at about 30 mph getting the crap beat out of me. White caps and the 18' don't get along.

Hi do you still have the Baja 184 SS?

Here's one of my 15SS:

I still have mine. Yours looks to be in pretty good shape. Gel is better than mine shows.

I repaired my red and silver Gelcoat on deck and top rear sections by wet sanding down clearcoat until smooth, taped off covering silver and white leaving just light and dark red. Sprayed adhesion promoter then tinted the reds with nightshades red headlight spray, then un taped silver, sprayed adhension promoter over silver and reds then taped around deck area and rear top sections leaving 1/8 white showing , then cleared with Urethane.

It turned out great. The deck of mine is stained from a leaking storage shed years ago. By the time we realized it was leaking it was too late.

Took my 184 SS (THUMPER) and my 220 Sport along with my brothers 220 to Lake Norris for the week of the 4th. Lots of compliments on the 184.

Always loved the 220 Sport. Had a 210 Sun Sport for 7 years. Great boat for the family. Mid 60's with a 350 magnum with thru hulls. Red with grey and black accents.
