Baja bad rapp
 

Take a look at the general boat disscusion thread,
( why do bajas get a bad rap)

Where is Doc and XT when that thread can use
a liitle of there knowledge

Sorry for stirring the pot Rick, but I want some people to explain why they feel the way they do. Hopefully we get some of the Baja family here to help us out.

To me when I hear or read about Baja bashing at
first I laugh, then I get mad because most of
the bashers dont know what they are talking about.
For the money, the room, the ride, and the workmanship
in building them I havent found anything any better.
Sure you can buy a better boat and spend 600,000
dollars for a new 39 cig and plenty of others, but for
the money and quality of bajas I will stick with BAJA .

Was it Snoop Dog or .50 cent that did the "Baja rap"??

Never heard it.
I think when the baja guys and girls see that thread
there will be alot of come back on that thread.

Just for those of you that feel lazy....http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/g...ome-folks.html

You sure know how to get a thread started ! L O L

Guys you'll always have the haters it's not worth the drama IMO. It goes back to the whole Ford,Chevy mentality. Just because they can afford a 300k Cig or 200k Fountain and we bought 140k Baja's we have a ELB but most of those guys at one point owned a Baja or Four Winns they just forgot where they came from. I'm proud to own a Baja and for the most part they all come from the same cloth..Fiberglass!

My next Baja will be a 40 footer, so Doug Smith
and the Ohio employees better get busy.

So your buying a Checkmate? LOL

WOW Rick you are as bad as me stirring the pot only i think you might just have beat me on this one the other post is going to get nasty i think :eek:

Only if they move across the street and say BAJA.
I owned checkmates before baja, so the bossman
better open it up and corner the market. L O L

It is getting kind of good, sometimes I am noted for
throwing a little fuel on the fire !

Rick,

Yea, I could have a lot to say on that thread, but I think I will stay out of that pissing contest.

XT

Dave thanks for talking to my buddy today Ed

Rick i know what you are trying to do and that is catch up with the Chicks, chips n' boats thread and you might just do it in a few days with the other thread LOL :lolhit:

Its getting good the heavy weights are coming out L O L.

Wheres Racegirl LOL
Maybe we can catch that thread !
Got to check the other thread be back
:food-smiley-007::party-smiley-048:

Every brand has their niche. If you think neg. about the brand of another persons boat, then the problem goes deeper than the boat. I don't get the smack talk chit.

I've found on most of these boards everyone has a opinion it's not necessarily the right one. I'm with US-1 I don't have the energy anymore to fight with guys who's opinion is always right.

On another note looks like the Politics thread will pick up momentum. Health Care Bill passed.

It beats talking politics !
You should post that on the other thread
so we keep it going .

wow I had no idea what I was starting over there

Yea you did:angry-smiley-038: :lolhit:

well somewhat but not to that extent:lolhit:

If I believe that you ll tell me another one ,
you started it and jump ship , here hold the
gun the cops are coming, yeah rite. L O L

no jumpin ships here

Baja
 

I have had two over the last 12 years and both were great boats. I have a 1988 24 Baja Sport now.

Tough crowd
 

When I had a checkmate, I was told you should get a Baja, when I had my first Baja I was told to get a fountain. My brother got a pantera so I got an active thunder. We split a spectre cat but were told we should have gotten a skater...... Get what you like they all can go fast enough. I now own a slow bowrider and a 24 outlaw.

Gang...

I have sold them...owned them....ordered them....raced them...poker run'd them...broken them...fixed them. And just like I have said in other threads and what I used to say when I sold them AGAINST Fountains, Sunsations etc.etc.etc. "Dollar for dollar, bang for the buck, you will not beat a Baja". Between the strong following and owners across the nation (and world for that matter) you will not find a better boat for the money. Sure we would all love a 39 Cig TGU with stag 700's or an Outerlimits or Skater..but the 5% of the elite that can buy those boats are few and far between. Baja was really good to me in my days in the biz...and for that I will always be loyal to Baja....and not only that but I "like" Baja....and the people who own Baja's.

Trust me guys...I don't care if you have a 600K Cig...or a
150K Baja...when they break...you still fix them the same...

All boats float...go forwards and backwords...and will give you years of enjoyment, just comes down to what you like.

Guess I am biased

well said

...and all boats will piss you off when they break and you won't be happy again until they're fixed! :lolhit:

In all honesty, a Bayliner is more bang for your buck.

Just got done working and looked at the other thread
and its going like crazy. Im glad to see boaters take
pride in what they own ( even if its not a Baja L O L )
Noone can ever say baja owners dont stick up and to
gether for there brand of boats,and I commend all the owners
for it.

Rick :ernaehrung004::party-smiley-048:

Wheres our banner Racegirl, ( BAJA/OSO FOREVER )

Sometimes I dont get it. Fort Myers offshore has a big varity of boats.

Usually every fun run there is 2 or 3 of each Nor-techs, Cigs, Donzis, Baja's etc...... Bajarick can confirm We all have a great time. Never heard of this at fun runs etc..that Bajas's suck or somthing of that nature. Everyone is bending over backwards helping each other and having fun.

Well now I dont always like being passed by some of these other, I still have a blast.
I think its more on the forums this $hit gets stirred up.

Dennis post that on the general boat disscusion,
that where all the disagreements are.

Rick:boat:

Dennis,

Are you still selling yours or are you holding onto it? How has it been over there?

Yes its still for sale. Laid low on the winter for sale action. Was not a good time with all the snow up north and longer than normal cold in FL. Still plan to make a few trips over to the west coast for some boating. I would say in the next 45 days or so.
Dennis

If I made it worst there sorry guys, but I was in a bad mood read it and snaped but whats funny was the look on the boats I ran in the late 1990s on the cape when I had the big power 585hp and 650 hp until 03, there was a old cig with speedmasters he had a hard time getting on plan we were in a cove flat water so we waited his boat was BAD BOYS so we take off Ijust opened it up and at the end of the cove we laughed he was pointing out to open water 3 footers a few 4s we waited for him bang I was getting a lot of air and we stayed 100ft in front of him until he waved us off pissed, same with two formulas I use to run a red 357 and a yellow 292 or what ever I would just stay infront of the red one yellow I would blow away, I did have a blown sonic 800s 35 dust me a 357 blue bob bolmans blown 35 beat me bad when I had the 454 always beat my buddys sb 24 with 550hp, a red 30 sb with twin obs he was just behind me one day he was inpressed that he could not get by me for 10 miles, there was a few fountains but the 32 or 29 depends on year and the 27 in my area I beat. but my friends sutphen 26 and other 30 were 10mph faster theres always someone faster but I ran and fixed my boat and for a 22year old boat its good boatI got beat but surpised a few haha. I might just keep it instead of parting it out my SABER and all the stuff thats going in it is payed for so I might do what baja could of done like they did with the 250ol the 24s need a full bulkhead in front of the motor to stiffen it up plus one going in the cabin and it will be perfect nice and stiff I love the fairing I put on and making the motor hatch super lite and strong with the scoop. I was never going to move up I was going to just add the blower motor and konrad but a deal came on the saber more room in cabin so the 509 will get bumped up next fall and maybe another shortie for the 24 when testing it flew I ran out of prop at 6000rpm 83gps it might of pick up 3 more with a bigger wheel, well sorry if I made thinks worst, I will go answer to the dick with the 29 beek hope to run him this summer some where haha, whats funny I stood up for the fountain guys a lot in the last two years in threads in there forum here:grinser010: oh well but to hurtin to night to look but heard its bad by skater nation they said artie what were you thinking just tired of the bullchit by boat owners who are dicks:lolhit: later
