Well they only sell "drop" hitches anyway. I'm running a 6" drop b&w tow and stow hitch as a 4" raise since the last thing I towed was a little over 10k. Even though roll pan hitched are about 4" higher than factory he is way low and even with helper bags will need at minimum a 4" rise.

Lol thanks man, I been forum whoring already on the Baja sites. It's a older 97 Baja with the Carb 454, little over 400 Hours on it. So it's not new, but I hope to get 2-3 years of light use with a few WOT in there to see if the old girl still has it. Then maybe look at a big HP swap.
That said, who knows man. This floater may be blown within a year. Lol, but it's not a Magnum version, so it's not forged. I'm thinking it is what it is, 454 with 9.6/1 compression. Runs on crap 87, sounds badass, has a little hit, but mostly a chill boat. Already has a full infinity setup and two kicker 12's. So it should do the trick as it sits, a weekend toy to have fun with.

Thanks for the input guys. I went ahead and ordered the load bags. I'll be sure to post up the install pictures later this week. I have to work his weekend, but hope to pick the boat up next Monday. I will try no overload springs with bags first and see how it does. Really looking forward to bringing this baby girl home. Also will likely be replacing the rear tires soon, their nearly bald nitro 555r's, I need a stiffer tire with some sidewalk strength. Was looking at the nitro NT05 non R version. 200 tread rated tire.

Sweet boat! I have been looking at boats identical to that for the last couple of months. I mostly have been looking at the baja outlaw 20' and the baja islanders. Nice boats for sure!
