This is Interesting
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"?
Well I just looked at the classified section under boats and I think this is interesting.
Currently Today on OSO:
Baja = 112 boats 4-sale
Cigarette = 119 boats 4-sale
Fountain = 246 boats 4-sale (YES 246)
Skater = 66 boats 4-sale (Have they built 66?)
Outerlimits = 32 boats 4-sale (They build 20 a year?)
My point is this. Baja owns the largest market share by far at around 38%. They produce a year more then all the other four names listed above combined. Yet those other owners always point a finger at Baja as being JUNK.
If they are junk, and there are thousands more of them out there in the market place, then why are we not all trying to sell ours and get a QUALITY boat? There should be 10 Baja's for sale for every one Fountain.
How can there be more Cig's and Fountains 4-sale just on this one site when those are the brands to OWN. If you have one, why would you want to sell it? Certainly not to get a Baja right?
Go Figure.

Then we bought the 272 and it went to the coast a lot, we have rough conditions on Lake Norman, and you really do not want to own anything smaller then 28 feet, and we even took the boat to Key West! NOTHING EVER BROKE OR CRACKED and it did NOT split in half.
As for the 36 Outlaw, that speaks volumes. It is just AWESOME. With 400 hours it looks brand new and there has NEVER been any repairs from stress cracks, spider cracks, etc.
Some people fell the need to belittle others and what others own to make them look bigger!
We all know the truth.

Re: This is Interesting
There are many Bajas on Lake Winnipesaukee. I know many of the owners being involved with a poker run. I have never heard anyone who ones or has owned one complaining about them in any way. That must say something about them... I know I love mine and my next will be................... a BAJA!!!!!

Dock ..... it's just a sign of the times!
Just like politics and everything else in life, many people no longer find contentment by simply taking pride in their own personal choices. You see it everywhere, society has changed from an "I'm pleased with my decision" to a "you can't be happy with yours" attitude. In this progressive new world we live in, many folks seem to feel confident only when criticizing the choices of others.

Re: This is Interesting
I love my Baja. I am on my third one and I have no complaints. I never broke anything on any of them, and the resale is grate! It has never taken longer then a week to sell any of my boats and I have made money on all of them. I almost bought a cig before I bought my 29 it was just a pain in the ass. It was an older cig I could not find anyone to insure me. (May have something with my age) But as soon as I call my agent about the Baja there were no questions asked. Just a good practical boat.

You are right, there are MANY variables that we cannot factor in. Most people I know regardless of brand keep a boat 2 to five years. But I do know two people that have new ones every year.
Interesting first post. What brand boat do you own?

Re: This is Interesting
Do you guy's every get the "Just another F'n Baja" comment. I get this all the time from people we boat with.But when it come time to head to LOTO everybody jumps in my boat because their's can't handle the water there. And a couple of them have 27' Fevers.
I think it is like the saying us Harley riders use. "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand" You have to own a Baja to appreciate one. And what is with the other comment of Baja's are good boats for the money? I think most of the others are over priced for what you get.
