Re: This is Interesting
[QUOTE=Dock Holiday]Have you ever seen a thread on this site or any other for that matter comparing a Baja to any other brand where the Baja did not get hammered on quality by those owners of the "High Quality Non-Production Custom Boats"?
Fountain = 246 boats 4-sale (YES 246)
That'a lot of beeks Dock. BTW I'm still running the hamsters on considering cutting off my beek for a 33 or 36. I love the 38 lightnings but the main factor is $. There are alot of 98-2000 36's that can be bought well under 85K with 500's. I would need low 100's for a 38 lightning and that's alot of money to go to other BS like strippers.

If you can buy enough Baja's cheap enough, and resale them for enough profit to buy a NorTech then you are my hero!
See the resale on Baja is strong!
Take care Hotboat and keep up the good work.

If I had to guess, the owners of these boats seem to upgrade more often then most. I am selling my 29 so I can go to a 35 and I have only had it 18 months.
Also, a lot of people enjoy building the custom boats, then selling them to build another one. When money is not an object, it is easier to buy a new boat than to upgrade the one you have.
