Baja Marine

BUCYRUS, Ohio (June 6, 2006) - Just in time to really turn up the heat for this summer, the 26 Outlaw splashes onto the scene, joining Baja's award-winning, high-performance lineup. The 26 Outlaw will replace the 25 Outlaw, taking its striking design and innovative technology to the next level.

"The 26 Outlaw satisfies that need for more - more speed, more style, more comfort" said J.R. Jenney, Baja Marine's director of sales. "The 26 is such a versatile boat. It has all of the power and control that Baja owners expect, plus the comforts and room for relaxing long weekends on the water."

With a three-person sleeping capacity and room for six, the whole gang can come along and lounge - courtesy of the bolster seating, rear bench in the large cockpit and the huge sunpad - while enjoying the standard Clarion Performance stereo system. Convertible, face-to-face seating also offers additional sleeping capacity.

Of course, it isn't just what's on the inside that counts when it comes to an Outlaw. The 26 is the pinnacle of sleekness, boasting a straight transom, integrated headrests and standard four-color Outlaw graphics for eye-catching offshore styling. The proof is in the details, from the custom black steering wheel with satin finish spokes to the engraved illuminated text on the rocker switches.

BUCYRUS, Ohio (June 7, 2006) - Just when you thought the poker run stakes couldn't get any higher, Baja lays down a pair of aces.

With its one-of-a-kind graphics, this rig is sure to turn heads at poker runs and other events.

This bold duo will tour the country, adding an extra dose of color and muscle to performance boat events all season long. "The 35 Outlaw Poker Run Edition and the CXT will definitely stop traffic," said J.R. Jenney, Baja's director of sales. "This pair is the ultimate in power - on the road and on the water. Both are top-of-the-line in terms of performance and style. And the custom paint jobs are truly amazing."

The International(r) CXT is the perfect partner for the 35 Outlaw Poker Run Edition, considering its stature as the largest production pickup truck on the market, not to mention its strikingly bold design. The 21-foot truck will call any bluff, with its hip-high tires and nine-foot-tall cab. It can haul any road-ready load with its legendary International(r) DT 466 diesel engine, 20-ton towing capacity and 6-ton chassis capacity.
