2001 Baja 232 Boss — Classic Go-Fast Performance at an Accessible Price Point
Here is a well-equipped Baja 232 Boss offered by a private seller in Rapid City, MI. This is a purpose-built performance sport boat powered by a Mer Cruiser 7.4L MPI (310 HP) inboard driving through a Bravo I sterndrive, with 820 hours on the clock. Claimed speeds of 40 knots cruise and 60 knots top make this a serious performer on the water.
The cockpit is set up for spirited days on the lake, featuring drop-down Aero bolster seats, snap-in cockpit carpet, a Bimini top, cockpit cover, and a CD/Bluetooth performance stereo system. Below deck, the cabin offers a couch and wide V-berth — enough space for a weekend getaway or a comfortable break between runs.
The Boss package adds a layer of premium specification to this already capable platform. Mechanical equipment includes trim tabs, dual batteries with switch, a swim platform, Corsa/Captain's Call exhaust, and a stainless steel prop. Navigation aids include a compass and depth sounder. A Halon fire suppression system and fire extinguisher are also aboard. The boat comes with an Eagle double-axle trailer — a significant added value.
KEY FEATURES:
• Mer Cruiser 7.4L MPI Bravo I (310 HP) — 820 Hours
The 7.4-liter big-block Mer Cruiser is widely regarded as one of the most robust and buildable inboard engines ever fitted to a sport boat of this size. At 820 hours, this engine is well into its working life but still within a reasonable range for a properly maintained big-block. Buyers should budget for a thorough inspection and service, but the MPI fuel injection system is known for reliable cold starts and consistent power delivery compared to carbureted predecessors.
• Baja True V Hull with Aero Bolster Seating
Baja built its reputation on deep-V hull designs that deliver a confident, planted ride even in choppy conditions. The True V hull on the 232 Boss is designed to cut through chop rather than pound over it — a meaningful advantage for Michigan inland lake and Great Lakes fringe use. The drop-down Aero bolster seats are a signature Baja performance feature, allowing the driver and co-pilot to brace comfortably at speed while maintaining visibility and control.
• Eagle Double-Axle Trailer Included
A matching double-axle trailer is included in the sale — a practical benefit that eliminates a significant additional purchase cost and allows the new owner to transport and store the boat immediately. Buyers should inspect the trailer's brakes, bearings, and bunks as part of their pre-purchase review.
