Baja Owners: Plans For 2009
 

Just a fun poll to see what the Baja family has planned for the year!

I plan to sell everything I own while it still has a little value, buy a horse (cheap) and go to work on a dude ranch in Montana.

I would like to find a nice Baja 252 (closed bow) at a good price. The 272 is as nice, but will not fit in my barn on the trailer!

XT:cool:

chain saw

I really plan on doing some of both two and three. Some inexpensive upgrades and save the rest for gas and alcohol.

Once it starts to appreciate, then I'll
get rid of it.:rolleyes:

Normally what I do is start dumping money
into it on upgrades and repairs, then a deal
comes along that I just cant resist, and I get
sucked in:drink:..... guess what I'm doing now ?
....hopefully, a deal doesn't come along.

I plan on continuing to be a boat whore for at least one more summer.

I guess voting for gas & alcohol is acceptable!:drink:

I need to make a rug with the baja sun in it with fades, I just don't know size my cockpit will be since I got rid of the old back seat design and am adding angled foot rests to lock my self in my seat. standing in drop out mode will be for going slow:rolleyes:. my new seats are set up for hard riding sitting down:evilb:.I was going to go with a pirate design and next year paint the boat to match it. this blown 572 means a longer engine room wear the pulley is:mad:, just won't fit. well theres other stuff to full steering and maybe 5'' headers for the new motor otherwise another year with 4''.

You are welcome on my boat any time my friend. You will be our official "Navigator" unless you have a more respectful title in mind.

That is AWESOME!

Hours don't mean a thing is you take care of it and keep her serviced and running.

Trying to get a deal on a 25 OL!!

Ok, who is going to claim that one vote for buying the NEW Baja by Fountain?

Anyone? Anyone?

I sure as hell can't afford one. I am trying to find 2 wooden nickels to rub together for heat.

Catalina, Havasu, Mead, Catalina, Tahoe, Parker, Newport... re-fuel and repeat un-till the bank tank runs dry.

Always remember "Fun is Cheap...at any price!

Keeping what I have....Bahamas trip in May.....Emerald Coast PR Aug.:ernaehrung004:

Looking for Baja 35 outlaw or newer 36 outlaw. I have owned 3 Bajas and not sure i even like the Baja's by fountain.

Plannin on goin to Lake St. Clair, LOTO, and Cumberland. Other then that, it'll be Lake Michigan while gas is cheaper then last summer:evilb:

External steering upgrade, new steering wheel, aluminum cup holders, maybe MP3 player hookup to stereo. The rest will be going to gas.

Sounds like you're going to be doing a lot of towing! Are you going to Desert Storm?

Who told you horses are cheap? My wife has two and she spends more on them than I do on the boat! Of course if she blows a horse up it is a little cheaper than a BBC!!

I plan to pull my engine and final tune it on the dyno. I never did get that shlt right last year. Hopefully I will be in the 90 territory !!

Its official. Looks like everyone is drinking and upgrading in 09. Someone call Reggie and break the news to him.:eek:

Using more or less as is this year. Might finally put the name on it. Will be at the Tickfaw 200, Emerald Coast, Pensacola for the Blue Angels, and a Baton Rouge to Biloxi trip planned. Hope gas stays where it is...

Getting a new stereo! :ernaehrung004:

2 votes and still no one will own up to it.

Dont be embarrassed, I would tell you guys if I bought a Bayliner!:party-smiley-004:

ttt since spring is here! :ernaehrung004:

two fresh overhauls (stan and ollie), upgraded breathing components from 3x8 flame arrestors performer rpm intakes a couple of Bob Madara's cam setups, 496 exhaust and 4" angled thru the transoms to shut the cops up. just finishing a custom dash/new gauges so I can mount the 8" chart plotter.
I cannot wait
Bobbo:ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

I see the "ttt" and still trying to figure out what it means??

I see it alot.

I googled it for you.

TTT

Third tier toilet, a term referring to crappy colleges for idiots.

Actually, in my case its "to the top" to bring this thread back to life.

:ernaehrung004:

Plan to get a full season!

So where are the Baja By Fountain owners? 2009 is 1/2 way over! :drink:

It will be sometime before we start thinking about a new boat and when we do..... this time it will be used. 30'+ with twins. :boat:

Made my final payment on the boat last week and just got back from picking up my new TNT XR bigshaft uppers with Imco shorties...... 90mph here we come..... where are those stickers

Sweet, no more payments means more rounds of Jager! We'll stick around this time! :drink:

Ya took 1/2 hour to get a round, I turn around and every bodies gone. So what do you do with 7 Yager bombs.

You drink them, ralph on the side of the boat next to you and pass out in the cabin.Then you wake up in the morning with a naked couple sleeping next to you. At least the girl was between me and my buddy:evilb:

Sending my motors out to be reprogrammed and then hopefully back in the boat by Jul 1st.

It would be nice to go boating this year as opposed to last year which was a complete loss and cost me thousands.:mad:

I am keeoing mine but doing little upgrades as the year goes on. So far on the list that have been done.

New Clarion CD player like it came with from the factory, third one since it was new. The display on them keeps screwing up where you cant read it. 4 new Rockford 6.5 speakers with a Sony Explode 10" sub and matching amp in the cabin.

Regular tune up.

Trying to get all of the play out of the steering.

Added some red and blue neons.

And I guess see what else happens this year. Its just so hard to leave things alone.

Sorry to not answer un-till now, have'nt looked at this thread for a while. Yes, we do tow a lot but it's worth it to be able to live in Bishop. Lived in So Cal for the first half of my life and just got to be to many people for us.

We did go to Desert Storm. First time, WOW, talk about a lot of people, but people with boats, our kind of people, (well some...many...in another tax bracket) but it's cool to see the show and hardware.

interesting tread!

Just put full hydraulic steering in the boat this spring. it's like a whole new boat !!
