Baja 23 Outlaw: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Baja 23 Outlaw represents a significant advancement from the company's 20 Outlaw model, introducing a true high-performance boat in a compact 23-foot package. Designed to meet the needs of families and offshore performance enthusiasts alike, this model balances safe, reliable performance with the styling and features typical of larger offshore boats. Its deep V-hull design ensures confident handling in rough waters, making it suitable for both inland and offshore activities such as poker runs.
Exterior Design and Deck Features
At the stern, the 23 Outlaw offers a high-grade aluminum swim platform equipped with a three-rung ladder, facilitating easy water access. Although optional, this platform complements the boat's sporty character, which also includes a ski tow line for recreational use. Forward of the swim platform is a plush sun pad designed for two, featuring thick headrests that underscore the boat's offshore pedigree. The sun pad lifts effortlessly with Atwood struts, revealing the engine compartment below. Access to the foredeck is provided by molded-in steps, though the absence of non-skid surfaces on the forward deck calls for caution when wet.
Power and Performance
Powering the 23 Outlaw is an optional 375-horsepower Mercruiser 496 engine, equipped in this instance with the Captain's Call exhaust system that routes exhaust through the transom rather than underwater. This setup enhances top-end speed and produces a distinctive sound signature. The engine compartment is neatly finished with a fiberglass liner for a clean appearance. On the water, the boat demonstrated impressive performance, reaching a top speed of 62.4 miles per hour at wide-open throttle. At a cruising speed of 3,500 RPM, it maintains speeds above 40 miles per hour, offering a cruising range close to 200 miles. Handling is precise with no cavitation or loss of control during turns, aided by light and responsive power steering.
Cockpit and Helm
The cockpit features an aft bench seat accommodating three adults, with ample storage beneath. Stainless steel grab rails are provided for outboard passengers, while the center passenger must rely on personal stability. The helm area is outfitted with aero seats that include drop-down bolsters, facilitating both seated and stand-up driving positions. Instrumentation includes a full suite of oil-filled Lavorsi gauges and LED trim tab indicators, alongside high-performance clutch and throttle controls. The trim switch for the robust Bravo OneDrive is conveniently integrated into the throttle handle. Tilt-wheel steering enhances comfort by allowing easy adjustment for sit-down driving, and the navigator's station includes stereo controls, a self-draining locker, and a 12-volt outlet.
Interior and Accommodations
Baja's signature V-berth cabin is present on the 23 Outlaw, though it is compact and lacks ventilation, making it more suitable for storage, changing clothes, or short naps while anchored rather than extended stays. This space reflects the boat's focus on performance and day use rather than overnight accommodations.
Trailerability and Practical Use
With a weight of approximately 4,200 pounds and an 8-foot, 4-inch beam, the 23 Outlaw is trailerable by an SUV, offering flexibility for transport to various bodies of water including oceans, sounds, and larger lakes. Its design and power make it well-suited for high-speed boating adventures across diverse environments.
Conclusion
The Baja 23 Outlaw successfully combines the attributes of a high-performance offshore boat with a manageable size and user-friendly features. Its powerful engine, precise handling, and thoughtfully designed helm and cockpit areas make it an excellent entry point for those seeking to enter the world of performance boating. While it offers limited interior accommodations, its overall design prioritizes safe, exhilarating boating experiences for families and enthusiasts alike.
