The old english 'Outlaw' looks horrible. Wonder what genius came up with that idea...

Cut 'em some slack boys!!

I'm happy someone is at least reviving the name! Give 'em a chance to get things going, they've entered the market at one of the worst possible times, so instead of just trashing them, how about kudos until they get things right?

I'm sure they'd be willing to accept constructive input from current and future Baja owners; they'd be foolish not too. Perhaps we can even start a vehicle for that, even an OSO thread that they siphon input from. Who knows better than us what we'd like to see in a Baja?

And like Dave said, maybe they'll even listen to us and put some interior work back in Ohio.

I don't like the eagle graphics etc., but the Fireworks optional paint is not the worst thing I've seen!

I guarantee they read the Baja section of OSO. We will never get a direct reply from them on here because it opens them up to direct attacks and I don't blame them. It was company policy when Baja was in Ohio not to become involved online but statements made here would sometimes be mentioned during design, or marketing meetings. I personally never became a member of ANY boating forum while employed until Baja was closed in 2008. Hey, thats way they pay for advertising.

Thanks for all the +1's.

I just cant imagine a giant sticker on a 26 Outlaw Vs in gel graphics. Everytime I see a 20 Outlaw or 202 Islander the decals below the rubrail are shot.

They should keep them simple like the Grand Prix series till they get rolling. Simple and classy.

was talking to Irish about this just this past weekend i think you could get him to do it with some good faith deposits so he wasnt stuck with all of the expense

Those graphics are absolutely ugly. It's not a good start for a company trying to get off the ground. You've got to put your best foot forward.

Are you serious? Could you build a 277 Islander? I'm in the market for another BAJA and thats the boat I want.I really like the 08's before Fountain took them over.
