Hopefully this isnt construed as Baja bashing/trolling, since I am currently in the market for a 405, or 442. Last month an employee of MaineMax drowned at Lake Powell when the boat she was a passenger in hit a large wake off of a tour boat , and the hull split in two. I havent heard confirmation on what brand of boat it is, but I have heard rumors that it was indeed a Baja. Can anyone confirm or deny the rumors and shed some light on what kind of boat it was?

The story I'm hearing is that you MUST come off plane for these tour boat wakes, and she did not. My guess, and this is just a guess based on what facts I have heard is that she stuffed the boat. If she did it is highly likely that the top deck seperated from the hull. This is common in any brand. There are pictures of a 311 Formula doing this and actually coming apart.
I have owned Baja's since 1999 and know a hundred people with them and they do not split in half.

There was a beautiful 405 running the Destin Poker Run in August and it looked GREAT on plane.

I have pictures of mine in 5 footers with the boat a couple of feet out of the water. Broke some small stuff but the hull is fine.
