Here is a link to pics of the 73 Baja race boat I just bought.<br />It has no harware exept what is required for racing. It has no cleats, lights, or pleasure boat items.<br />It has no carpet and never has, never will. The floor is painted black w/red and blue splatters on it.<br />It has three "Oh Sht" handles, tilt&trim on the fly, cut-out clips that stop the engine when the driver is discharged from the boat (hope that never happens), a speedo that starts at 50mph, stabilizor Fin, dual cable steering, "Hot-Foot", large steel fuel tank w/sending unit and saftey straps, heavy duty batt hold down, and steel transom plate.<br />I will not be the first to drill a hole in it.<br />the hull and transom are super solid. It makes my knucles hurt when I knock on the transom.<br />My plans are to restore the boat to original condition w/no additives.<br />It was stored in an air-plane hangar for many years.<br />The original title shows that the boat was owned by Fred Miller from 73 till a month ago. I was told that he was a Baja exec and met an untimely death. It was then purchaced by a falla at an estate auction a month ago.<br />The engine is a 73 Mercury 150 as well and was titled at the same time as the boat.<br />The addresses on the original titles is 529 S.Poplar St. Bucyrus. I think that the addy was the location of Baja before the fire. They were titled directly from Baja and not a dealer.<br />The fella that bought it at auction stated that there was a box full of tropheis and plaques that sold at auction before the boat did that IMHO should have been included w/the boat as well as a power trim pump and two bladed race prop. Unfortunately I cannot track them down but am trying.<br />I hope that someone here can feed me some past info (anything) on this vintage relic or at least verify what I already assume. I plan to treat it as a collectable peice of history indeed.<br />I was told that the boat ran 70mph + back in the day.<br />Feel free to browse about the directory for other cool cars/boats I own. <br />Use the next icon to the right for more pics of the boat.<br />Notice in the background the 76 Sleekcraft daycruiser (being restored this winter), 94 Fantasy F-13 (for sale), and 82 Baja 190 (460 jet boat being restored at present) I own as well.<br /><br /> http://megafilehosting.com/TheEbayKing/bajaraceboat/
