When was a 26 blue printed? Don't remember that. So they got a couple MPH on the top end. What's it like getting on plane? Midrange pull? If its just a raised x, those are probably in the crapper. Hope not, but...

I think its a compliment on the handling, but a kick in the nuts claiming to be 4 mph faster because of their dialing in. So far at best they can claim they built it to run as fast as ours. I predicted before they built any boat that it was guaranteed to be faster just because it was built at Fountain and thats what people want to believe. Other than that, it looks like they did a great job with the boat and the changes they made. I notice the bow rail is different, and the back seat opens different now.
I'll see you next Thursday!

Love him or hate him, Reggie knows how to make a V-hull run and market boats. Can not deny he will continue the image and only improve the Baja name. Something to think about before bashing Fountain, what if they did not purchase Baja and Brunswick shuttered the doors? Do you think that would have an adverse effect on the resale value of existing Baja boats? Would you rather have the parent company be the manufacturer of the worlds fastest and best selling high performance V-hulls or Brunswick the manufacturer of Sea-Rays and Bayliners?
