Mine has the "dated" graphics as well, but, I dont mind them, my favorite's where the "palm tree" and "Paint ball" style paint schemes of the early 2000's [I think] So, I must be stuck in the past, lol. I would like to move up at some point, but, to be honest I really love my little Baja, it doesn't cost a fortune to run, is easy to dock and 90% of the time is big enough and fast enough for what I want. Having said that, I still drool over some of the gorgeous "bigger" Baja's owned by you guys!

I am old school myself when it comes to alot of things. My boat is perfect for lake erie where i boat. My boat is definitly fast enough for me; top end speed is
80-85mph on gps. I probably have one of the fastest boats where I do all of my boating. My graphics are the ones that have the lines running on the side of it like streamers, Sometimes I think the some of older boats were built better. And the older ones were built by hand not by computer, so usually the hulls were on the thicker side. These days everything built now has less quality put into it and it doesn't seem to last as long as some of the older things. I found this in everything I buy today. If you want send me your email and i will send you pictures of my boat. And please send me pictures of yours. I am interested to see what yours looks like.

I'm not sure I'll agree there. Some of the Bajas of the 90's, were horrible boats with rot issues ect. The older Donzis and other brands were also not great builds. I'd say when it comes to performance boats, many has gotten better. Every builder have their better and worse periods, but this point in time is pretty good. In other parts of the high performance marine industry, well that's another story.

How were the Bajas in the late 90's (like the outlaws in 1997) and newer ones built?
It just seems companies are always looking to save a buck and be cheap on things and $$ first and quality is second.
