Baja 20 Outlaw: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Baja Outlaw Series has established itself as a popular choice among performance boat enthusiasts, and the 20-foot Outlaw, introduced in 2003, is the latest addition to this lineup. Designed to offer exhilarating offshore performance in a compact and affordable package, this model targets speed-hungry first-time buyers eager to join the Baja family. Priced just under $25,000, the 20 Outlaw delivers impressive speed and handling, making it accessible to a broad range of boating enthusiasts.

Exterior Design and Cockpit Layout

The 20 Outlaw exhibits the edgy, race-ready aesthetic characteristic of the Outlaw Series, yet it maintains a clean and simple appearance. The hull and deck feature smooth, flowing lines that extend into the cockpit, where upholstery is similarly sleek and well-integrated. The cockpit is surprisingly spacious for a 20-foot boat, with comfortable bucket seats in the front designed to keep occupants securely in place during sharp turns. The driver's seat is adjustable fore and aft, accommodating operators of various sizes without compromising comfort. The helm is equipped with a well-chosen array of gauges to monitor engine performance, while quality Morse controls for throttle and shifter are conveniently positioned to the right. Trim adjustment is controlled via a toggle switch mounted on the steering wheel column, allowing easy activation with the left hand while maintaining a firm grip on the wheel. Storage is ample, with space in the bow for wakeboards, skis, and other water toys, as well as under the wide aft bench seat, which also provides seating for friends and family. The swim platform at the stern includes a recessed boarding ladder, facilitating easy water access.

Power and Performance

Powering the 20 Outlaw is a single option: the 260-horsepower Merry Cruiser 5-liter MPI engine. While this may seem modest, testing confirms that this powerplant is well-matched to the boat's size and performance goals, delivering thrilling speed without compromising safety or control. The hull features a 24-degree deep V bottom, which effectively cuts through choppy water, and the boat draws 34 inches of water with the drive down. Weighing nearly 3,000 pounds with a beam of 7 feet 11 inches, the 20 Outlaw demonstrated a top speed of 62.2 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM during testing. It reaches planing speed in just 4 seconds, with 30 miles per hour achieved shortly thereafter. For more relaxed cruising, the boat maintains a brisk 39 miles per hour at 3,500 RPM, delivering fuel efficiency of approximately 3.7 miles per gallon.

Conclusion

The Baja 20 Outlaw offers an appealing entry point into offshore performance boating, combining aggressive styling, solid construction, and impressive speed in a compact, affordable package. Its thoughtful design balances comfort and functionality, making it suitable for both novice and experienced boaters seeking a high-performance experience on the water without the complexity or expense of larger vessels.
