Well it really depended on what vendor (model year) was used to build the bolster frames. Originally they were stainless steel springs with the local supplier "US Marine" in Galion OH. Then later after Sea Ray acquired Baja, a SR manager decided to go with one of their suppliers called "Cobin Tool". The springs were no longer SS, but hey he got credit for saving a couple bucks! The last few years before SR gave-up Baja, I did get the supplier changed to "Challenger Hardware" in OH. and we had much better luck with their SS frames.

I could tell more than a few stories about that managers cost saving tactics....
