Quality Issues
i've looked at two 30 OL's. A new 05 and a used 04 (18hours). Both have had significant quality issues with the cabin vinyl. Headliner and spacer coming about near door, seams along wall above benches not meeting up etc. Anyone else seen these type issues? How do these boats hold up after delivery? 24+ months out... I'm not knocking Baja at all. Just doing some homework before buying my first one. Thanks.

Have you gone over to www.teambajamarine.com yet?
Being a full Baja only site you will find some folks that do not post here. Give them a try also.

Re: Quality Issues
I'm happy with my 25 O'L so far, although the rear bench is falling apart and a few stitches are coming out of the hatch. AB said they'd take care of it, but it's a 4 hour drive.

As a fellow boater and a Baja fan, I'm just trying to help this guy find the answers to his questions.
He is a paying Gold member and I'm sure he will be on this site like you and me for many years. After all it is the #1 site and you will learn more here then anywhere else.
I belong to and monitor four different sites a day and could add two more to that number easy if I had time. No one has a monopoly on a BOATING website.
But the topics he mentioned have been discussd in detail on the Baja site.
It's all about helping one another, right?

Thanks Dock:
I am finding some info out on the other site. There seems to be many a folks that have experienced headliner. seam, and corner issues. I'll keep in perspective though, there are probably just as many if not more that have not had a problem one.

Of course I am use to hearing that I am NOT cool!!!!!!!!!!!
As for Texas, the only way I won't make it is if there is a major emergency. We are dragging the 36, if for some reason it is broke I will come anyway and bum a ride with you!
