See full version: Baja 30 Outlaw: Powerboat Performance Report
For a 30-footer, the boat had exceptional cabin space and amenities. A large head locker with a portable commode was located on the starboard side of the boat. Opposite that locker was the galley, complete with a Norcold refrigerator, a stainless-steel sink and what appeared to be Formica countertops.
For the driver and co-pilot, the builder opted for heavy-duty bolsters with manual dropout bottoms. Up or down, the bolster bottoms snapped into position with a positive thwack, and didn't wiggle or budge in rough water. Molded and angled footrests also were provided for the driver and co-pilot.

And if the transition from a single-engine boat to a manageable, affordable model with twins tops your list, the 30 Outlaw is your boat. The 30-foot-long, conventional V-bottom we tested was a breeze to drive, ran more than 75 mph and cost less than $165,000.
If the 30 Outlaw truly is an "entry-level" twin-engine boat, Baja has raised the bar on what entry level should be. From the snap-in-carpeted cockpit to the appropriately dressed cabin, the builder cut no corners. [links]
Well-adorned with hardware, the 30 Outlaw featured four Accon Pull-Up cleats, a powder-painted aluminum deck rail and an aluminum swim platform with a ladder. here
For foredeck access, Baja took the time to mold steps into the helm station. The builder even included a grab handle to help with the climb and surfaced the top section of the dash with nonskid.

Looks like yours was built in the 4th week of Nov in 85', late in the year so sold and titled as an 86. My buddy's Apache was the same way, had an 87' HIN but sold and titled as an 88'. My HIN ends in D505, 5th week in April 05'.

Power comes from a pair of high performance MerCruiser 500EFI V8 engines producing 470hp each and driving a pair of high performance stainless steel propellers on Bravo 1 sterndrives. [links]
The cabin sleeps two in the forward berth, with lounges running either side of the saloon. Headroom is (just) adequate. There is little in the way of galley facilities, while a portable toilet and basin comprises the “bathroom”. here
Open the throttles, ease the trim tabs up and trim the drives out a little and its possible to squeeze the speedo to 80mph (almost 70 knots). Unless you have good face-hugging sunglasses that aren’t going to be blown away in the rush, this performance quickly rips a continual stream of tears beyond your ears! here
Don’t expect too much in the way of comforts and space below deck. This is a boat built for on-water performance; living and entertaining facilities come a distant second. If you want to wine, dine and entertain, it doesn’t take long to zip to the nearest waterfront restaurant. more
