With her low profile lines the 442 is a sleek boat that’s a lot bigger than you’d suspect. She is designed for high-speed cruising or poker runs, and with triple engines she’s guaranteed to fly. ## Test Results | RPM | MPH | Knots | GPH | MPG | NMPG | SM | NM | dBa | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | 1500 | 11.5 | 10 | 13.8 | 0.83 | 0.72 | 222 | 193 | 74 | | 2000 | 23 | 20 | 21.3 | 1.08 | 0.94 | 288 | 250 | 76 | | 2500 | 31.5 | 27.3 | 34.2 | 0.92 | 0.8 | 245 | 213 | 86 | | 3000 | 39.4 | 34.2 | 40.8 | 0.96 | 0.84 | 257 | 223 | 86 | | 3500 | 45.8 | 39.8 | 49.8 | 0.92 | 0.8 | 245 | 213 | 86 | | 4000 | 51.6 | 44.8 | 70.8 | 0.73 | 0.63 | 194 | 169 | 89 | | 4500 | 57.3 | 49.8 | 87 | 0.66 | 0.57 | 175 | 153 | 87 | | 5000 | 66.9 | 58.2 | 107.1 | 0.62 | 0.54 | 166 | 145 | 91 | [View the test results in metric units](#) ![baja-442.jpg](/sites/default/files/images/boat-charts/baja-442.jpg) ## Specifications | Length Overall | 44' 1/2'' | |---|---| | Beam | 9' 6'' | | Dry Weight | 14,000 lbs. | | Draft | 2' 10'' | | Deadrise/Transom | 24 deg. | | Max Headroom | N/A | | Bridge Clearance | N/A | | Fuel Capacity | 296 gal. | | Water Capacity | 51 gal. | ## Acceleration Times & Conditions | Time to Plane | N/A | |---|---| | 0 to 30 | N/A | | Ratio | 1.5:1 | | Props | 25 | | Load | -fuel, -water, 4 persons on board, min. cruising gear | | Climate | Temp: 81F, Humid: 63%, Wind: 5-10 knots, Seas: 1-2 feet | ## Engine Options | Tested Engine | 3 x 415-hp MerCruiser 502 MPI (Bravo I) | |---|---| | Std.

You can, of course, order the Baja 442 with twin engines, but where would be the fun in that? There’s plenty of room for triple motors in the engine compartment, and you still have good access to work on them. The motor mounts are heavy-duty aluminum. Our test boat had MerCruiser 454 MPIs, but a wide range of stern drives are available, up to triple 500 Bulldogs. It’s a classic deep-V performance boat with a sharp entry and 24 degrees of deadrise at the transom. This helps it knife through offshore seas without getting skittish at high speeds. But rather than the standard eight-foot beam, it has a wider nine-foot- six-inch beam, allowing room for the luxury accommodations below. Out on our test track, the triple 385-hp MerCruisers give the 442 a cruise speed of 39.4 mph at 3000 rpm, and a top end of 66.9 mph at 5000 rpm. The decibel level is pretty good thanks to the Captain’s call exhaust and the swim platform which helps deflect the exhaust downward. At best cruise she’ll run for about 257 miles, which should be plenty for your next poker run. ezstandalone.cmd.push(function() { ezstandalone.showAds(104); }); --- ## Related Boats [ Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/BAJA342%20.jpg?itok=-3ZbRpDe) ](/boats/baja/342) [High Performance Boats](/boats/high-performance-boats) ### [Baja 342](/boats/baja/342) 2 x 415-hp MerCruiser 502 MPI (Bravo I) [ Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/Baja36Outlaw_Cropped.jpg?itok=kKmBbjgW) ](/boats/baja/36-outlaw-not-production) [High Performance Boats](/boats/high-performance-boats) ### [Baja 36 Outlaw (Not in Production)](/boats/baja/36-outlaw-not-production) 2 x 600-hp MerCruiser SC (Bravo I) [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/2007-baja-40-outlaw.jpg?itok=6cbHgg7u) ](/boats/baja/40-outlaw) [High Performance Boats](/boats/high-performance-boats) ### [Baja 40 Outlaw](/boats/baja/40-outlaw) 3 x 500-hp MerCruiser 525 EFI [ Report with Video Review with Captain's Report ![](/sites/default/files/styles/500x375_max/public/Baja38Special.jpg?itok=KAfIadbN) ](/boats/baja/38-special-not-production) [High Performance Boats](/boats/high-performance-boats) ### [Baja 38 Special (Not in Production)](/boats/baja/38-special-not-production) 2 x 425-hp MerCruiser 496 Mag HO Baja High Performance Boats,
