I am pretty sure they will break that mark, The boats looked great. Some were still being dialed in, the cabins were AWSOME.
The biggest changes
1 100% Vinyl Ester Resin: Stronger, prevent Blistering,
2.Hand Laid Finerglass, Hull/deck glassed and through bolted
3.NO BALSA, Foam coring, no rot, water logging, or decay
4.STRINGERS,,, no liners, I don't need to explain
5.Hydrolic steering No explanation needed
6. Raisin the X, as of now all Lab finished props
Gear change, 151 to a 1.65.1 better hole shot, plane faster
7. OH and the cabins, yes their nice
8. EVERY BOAT WATER TESTED at Fountain
Is the price going up a little yes, 6 % but once you figure what the improvments cost its really not much.

Saw a nice 36OL and a nice 35OL at the bay for the wine fest this past weekend. Also was able to get on the 50 American Muscle Cig!

Will I am getting some feed back and here is what I'm told a few dealers have to say.
1) The new Baja's by Fountain are NOT faster then the original. 26 - 30 & 35 OL
2) The paint looks cheap and there are big tape edges.
3) The construction makes no difference because the average guy cannot tell one from the other. There is good and bad both ways.
4) The price point is NOT good because the Baja buyer is not making any more today then he was last year and has less money to spend.
5) The 6% increase would be GREAT but actual increases are much higher. For example the 23OL is up almost 16%!
6) A few dealers may be backing out on orders after having more time to review actual price increases.
Just some feedback I have been told by folks that know dealers that attended.
P.S. Some did say they were really pleased to meet Reggie and found him to be much nicer then they were expecting based on the comments we see online.

Did you see the yellow deck 30 roll in? We were there that weekend, the boat belongs to OSO member WOTW2E. I saw the 36 and American Muscle, but dont remember the 35. And I remember seeing part of the Ohio State game!
