New Boats

Baja

Guys I've been out in 5 degree weather all day and need a beer, so I have to make this short.

If you are interested, I loaded all the pic on my site. The boats look great, take a look at the 30 speedo if you have doubts on how the new boats are running! :eek:

26 Baja
 
What is the plastic tank on the port side of the 26 engine compartment that is held down with a bungee cord? Looks like a hydraulic oil tank for trim tabs?

OL30 12-15-2008 06:53 PM

In the '08 one? That's the fresh water tank for the transom shower.

What's up with the new engine cowlings? Is that a Fountain thing? Also where is the Latham resevoir or did they go to a different company for the hydraulic steering? Also why the change from Kplanes?

Merc changed the engine cowlings. Looks like the steering rams are still Latham. Not sure what is up with the reservoir. As to the change from Kplanes, there can not be an acceptable answer for that.

BrettM 12-16-2008 08:24 AM

It looks like Founatin used the factory power steering tanks for the Hydraulic steering resivoirs??

Kplanes, easy answer $$$$$$, the Lencos are a fraction of the price. I too like the Kplanes better but not for $5435.00 MSRP. Ill take the Lenco's for that much up tick in price!

Agreed.

Honestly, I don't know how they can get that one by
"mother Brunswick.

How responsive are the Lencos compared to the K-planes?

Near the same time wise. I agree with above the kplanes are the best, I was expecting a better price to upgrade to them as Founatin and Brunswick are tied at the hip, but that was not the case. I ran a 35 and a 30 with the Lencos at Fountain and found these larger tabs to be quite responsive. They are no kplanes, but a nice savings and product!

Good to hear. My biggest complaint with Bennett, Insta-Trim (Boat Leveler), etc. type tabs on offshore boats (other than being too short) has always been how slow they react compared to K-Planes. New boats look great on your site.

BrettM 12-16-2008 12:13 PM

Knot, thanks!

I was never a fan of the Bennet systems and I assure you, Lenco is leaps and bounds beyond them!

I wish is wasn't 5 degress and snowing here, that 30 would be getting a work out if it was nicer!!!

That I would have you on that one JT!!!! Haha

JaayTeee 12-16-2008 04:29 PM

It's going to take something monumental like that
.......they ride nice, but it takes a ton of power to
make them run.

Any details like how far along they are on it, and what kind of power? Hopefully BIG twins!

Did anyone notice they notched the transom on the 30?! I went down last night and looked at the boats. Fountain did a great job with the Baja line. The cabin is very nice with solid surface tops and doors, rigging was clean and fit and finish was very nice. The tape lines were not a big deal, I think that the Formulas have a "harder" tape line IMHO.

I noticed they're attached to the hull on outer sides of the drives. Mine are mounted in the center. Interesting.

I do see the notch now that you mentioned it. The cabin does look great. That carpet is going to stink after a few seasons of use though. I have to take mine out every now and then and pressure wash it with some Simple Green to freshen it up. Overall, it still looks like a very nice boat.

Anyone know who makes that steering wheel. I'd like to find one with a blue ring...sort of like Doc's.

My guess would be Momo.

$168 through Livorsi.

Isotta has some of my favorite wheels, but they are priced higher. This one is $349.

I really like the 30 Outlaw. My wife is more a 277 Islander gal, though.

I though you were a dune buggy steering wheel fan:D

sonic69 12-17-2008 02:44 PM

I love that bottom wheel. I had a MOMO wheel close to that with my nitrous buttons in it for a car I had.

BrettM 12-17-2008 03:56 PM

I have to say, the steering wheels are coming off. I ordered replacements as soon as I pealed the shrink wrap off!:grinser010:

So we should watch EBAY for some steering wheels for sale out of Nebraska?:drink:
