Well I sold my 195 and bought a baja 342 boss with twin 496's. I got into poker runs so I needed something a little bigger and faster. Plus this boat should work great for bimini next year

Don’t think you could have come up with a bigger switch than that....I guess maybe going to a pontoon, LOL.
Bajas are sweet boats, and it looks like you picked a nice one.
Enjoy!

Yeah it was a bit of a learning curve. Still learning how to dock twins.

Thats a nice boat. If you're gonna do a long term cruise why not be in comfort.

When I originally decided to get a bigger boat I was looking to be in a 25-27 ft range. But then decided for just a little more money I could get a 29ft. Then I came across this boat at a good price and had to jump on it. Honestly after using a big boat, I don't think I'll get another small boat again. It rides great in rough water. Has speed to get across the water in comfort. It was kinda intimidating at first. But I'm getting used to it.
