Sam's Marine and Performance, located in Stillwater, MN modified my Baja 20 Outlaw over the past three years. Engine, stern-drive and dashboard. Hope you enjoy the video!
I had a stock 2003. Best she topped out at was 60 on GPS. It was a squirrelly 60, lol. I can't imagine 76 with that hull. She looks great and sounds even better. Nice!
So far, I've got it to 76 mph. Thinking about adding headers and possibly trim tabs next. As you could see in the video, it has a tendency to chine walk when it hits about 70 mph.
Haywood, yep....it is a handful. I'm increasing the horsepower this summer, so not sure what I'm going to do with it. My goal is to hit 80 mph, but I think I'll need tabs or hydraulic steering. We'll see.
Sounds great! I'm going to share your post with the guy that did my engine. I think he'll find it interesting and I'll pass along and of his comments. Where are you, by the way. I'm in International Falls, MN on Rainy Lake.
Danm she sounds soooo good!!! How long is your boating season up there? I mean i was up in saint paul for school at 3m in october and it was 29 degrees and snowing haha. U must have like a month or 2 boating season up tjere haha
Brandon, Just talked to my engine builder and the 406 does have a roller cam and Dart aluminum heads. He also asked what drive you are using. He has an Alpha SS drive that he said he can build for you if you'd like to do that. That's what I'm using and I got about an additional 6-8 mph just by going that route. Also, are you putting headers on that 360? If you are, what are you using. That's the next step for me.......I think.
I had a 20 Outlaw back in '03. It was stock 305 and ran about 60. Is yours a bit of a handful at 76? I think I'd want full hydraulic steering at those speeds. Looks good though and must be a blast!

Whats the outlaw top out at now?
What is your rpm at 76 mph? I am building a 20 outlaw and you are the only guy I can find with a similar build.
Man what a nice boat. Does it have the 7.4?
Trim tabs 80 sport give you another 10 inch of stability off the transom with out using them maybe a few clicks down get rid of the chime walk
Brandon, the link you sent me is not working. Can you send again?

Sounds great! What manifolds are you using? What size is that carb?
I neglected to say that I have a GPS speedo in the boat, so I know that the 76 mph is accurate.
You still running your outlaw? i have a newer islander looking to do something similar but not sure how big I can fit
Oh....one more thing.....why a 360 rather than a 383?
Sounds great you still have it ? Or do you have a new toy
