Glad to see them coming back to life. Lots of good to be had with a little bit of competition in the marketplace.

Maybe I'm loopy but is it me or do the "base" prices on the Baja line seem a little inflated?

Glad to see these two great heritage brands continue, but I hope Baja uses different design and build standards for these brands!

Be on the look out for a Bahonzi at a boat store near you.
Don would probably ask you to buy a boat built in this century before commenting on the business practices of people trying to keep this market alive

I'm glad to hear this, maybe things are turning for the better, however, as someone stated there needs to be a clear definitive line between the brands, where last time they were turning the baja's into a fountain, I hope some how the Donzi name carries on, I guess we will see,

Bye the way i absolutely agree that the 30 gt looks terrible, its probably the paint scheme, but it looks like someone glued a old school deck onto the old 30 and changed the name around a little,

I also agree that there is a place for a non step entry level performance boat, basically what Baja has always been and successful at also

Plus 1 on the comeback of all lines!!

I agree, the scheme on the baja is weak.....I suggest a whore-house paint scheme wrap.

Why? Why? Why not build what they have and let dead brands stay dead?

The paint scheme is not my bag...however some of the modern paint schemes everybody on here sports wood over are nothing but the proverbial "artist gone wild" schemes that look ridiculous IMO. Don't get me started on theme boats.

Glad to see someone take another poke at this bear. It would be interesting to see if Baja makes a step bottom boat. Fountain started making the 40' Baja a step bottom boat. Well actually it was a 40 Outlaw deck placed on a 42 Lightning hull.
I agree that those graphics need help. Nothing wrong with vinyl graphics on an ELB, but they need some better proportions & fonts.
