How will your Baja
 
Look with a nose on the front of it?

Will all Baja’s be built two feet longer in the future?

Will we see Baja’s back on the race circuit?

Will we see some stepped hull Baja's?

There are a lot of very interesting rumors flying around right now and if they prove to be true all of us Baja owners may just be a member of a very well known and highly thought of performance boat builder.

I wish I knew more but as the facts are available I’m sure we will all know what the future holds for Baja. I think it is very exciting what the possibilities could be. We have heard for some time now that Baja was for sale but it seems the rumors could be true this time and there may be a deal in the works.

Fountain was loaned $ 18M by Brunswick
not too long ago.

Are you implying that Fountain may become
a Brunswick company ??

I can't see someone who owes alot of $$ to someone
( fountain to brunswick) trying to aquire an asset
from the lender they already owe a lot of $$ to.


Now, I might believe that Brunswick is calling in their
loans to Reggie, and the grand plan will be to
have Baja continue to produce the smaller boats
while fountain does the larger.

If that is the case, and they're keeping their
style, looks like the next boat will be a Cig.

JT,

From what I understand they did not loan him money but extended credit for engines, drives etc. Reggie has long since paid them back.

The talk on the street now is that he is willing to write them a check for the purchase of Baja. Very interesting for sure and we can only speculate as to his intentions but I cannot help but think it would be good for the brand.

We will see as this should be very interestig.

He does make a fast boat, other than that, his
boats don't do much for me.....but, that's just me.

SinkorSwim 03-12-2008 12:48 PM

Wow....

I could be the owner of beak boat by proxy... :p


Great info guys... keep digging...:drink:

Interesting. I'm skeptical but anything can happen.

baja pete 03-12-2008 01:07 PM

Does this mean we will have to start wearing gold chains?

kennyo 03-12-2008 01:11 PM

JasonSmith 03-12-2008 01:19 PM

The only good I can see out of this is a faster Baja brand owned by a guy who can make a fast boat & supports the sport 100%.
Does this mean the other brand owners will have to give some respect now? You know that ain't gonna happen! It will still be a "production boat" and all that crap.

BAJA WILL 03-12-2008 01:57 PM

I am not so sure about a buy out, what I do know is stay tuned for BAJA to continue to raise the bar, more custom boats, more performance, and more boat for the $$ than anyone else. Poker Face, Lucky 7's, and Split Decision are just the beginning.

Von Bongo 03-12-2008 02:15 PM

Ok, was stated before that they are already tied to Brunswick. They still have an agreement with mercury to buy their engines.

Also as of the end of the year Fountian had to get a waiver from thier bank because they were out of compliance on EBITDA and a 3 month extension. I doubt they would be ready to write a check to Brunswick when they are in default to their bank.

As I said before, more likely a merger between Baja and Fountain with Brunswick in control.

nomomoney 03-12-2008 02:45 PM

Wow,I guess I switched brands just in time.

JaayTeee 03-12-2008 02:56 PM

If this is indeed true, he'd be smart to
leave things as they currently appear
"above" the chine.....but, I doubt his ego would
let that happen.

Oh My!

Dock, say it is not so. Please.

PS: Found a red cover for our 36 yet?

Hey Reggie has STYLE!

I like the guy and you have to give credit where credit is due. The guy has brought a LOT to this sport.

I'll gladly get my gold chains out!:D

erol827 03-13-2008 09:17 AM

Love him or hate him, you have to respect Reggie. His boats leave something to be desired for me - however he is the driving force behind the industry, the only bad press is what guys like us say on the forums. Every boat review he gets is great and his products keep getting better as the years go by. its going to be interesting...

I just hope the stock goes up now!

Doc,

Where do you get your info? OHhhhhhhhhhh I know you must have been lurking on that other official, more informative baja site, you know the one that always has the baja lowdown first..............:evilb::evilb::evilb:




Sorry Doc I couldn't resist.

I would have mixed feelings about this. I like the baja style a lot better than the Beak boats, but baja could use some more speed.............ON A STRAIGHT HULL.

Now it just sends you back to Hitler himself and if all this talk about Baja comes to happen maybe Reggie will dump TBM.

Dock Holiday 03-14-2008 08:07 AM

My source does not have a name or a face. It lives in a van down by the river and other then high speed satellite internet access it enjoys no modern conveniences.

I am told that it has physic powers pertaining to all that is Baja related and picks up strong signals from gold chains.

Hang on the secret phone is ringing now and I need to get the decoder ring out.

Stay tuned.



NewsFLASH:

It's not a done deal..............
