well... just went to see and... have to agree. there is something changed, new look, but not sure I like it... but I'm often like that when something changes, and after a while, I get used to the new look, and then feel the older look looks old... nothing perfect I guess...

MY boat will probably never grace the cover of a boating mag, or be featured in a movie, but, those things are downright hideous, that Islander with the blue and yellow graphics is horrible.

I realize its "apples and oranges", but, I think the Baja design "experts?" need to spend some time at Outerlimits to see how to make a boats lines flow, and hoe to use colors that compliment the boat, NOT make it look like crap! I guess at the "end of the day" the water doesn't know, or care, what color the boat is, but, in my opinion those are some gawdy graphics, thumbs down!

Agreed, I HATED the new Chevy/GMC trucks when they came out with the "Square" front end, but, now I have seen so many they kinda have grown on me, and I find the older "rounded" body styles look dated, just my .02

ya, they don't look worth a hoot. But they are entry level. Something like 30 grand to get into one?

What a disappointment! Those look absolutely cheap and commercialized, NOTHING at all appealing.

On the bright side, maybe there will be a demand now for the older Baja and styling.

They're going to buy something else ?

The whole thing is a mess and a sad state of affairs. I'd really like to see them (liberty) building all of those boats again. But not like this! Using left over parts and trying to piece together boats is just a blatant sign of grasping at straws. And now that they lost their key guy...good luck! Those boats aren't going anywhere!
