Default Ruined Baja

Just got off Baja Marine's website, and have to say. The new models are the ugliest things I have ever seen. Graphics and interior look cheap and just plain dumb. I own a 302 and will always be a loyal baja fan, but will never own one built in N.C. Such a shame to take that boat in that direction.

Yeah the pictures I have seen are not very good. Seems like just some little styling changes could make a big improvement.

Default Baja Graphics

I was very disappointed with the graphics. But thought it was just me. I believe that the graphics will affect sales unless there is a change.

I would say the design team and everyone involved in Baja now, are a bunch of numbers people, and pencil pushers. Would be my guess. Bought the company for the name, thinking it will sell boats, but can tell from the pictures they dont have a clue what they are doing or what people want. It's ashame, most likely none of them are boaters or even own boats. For example look at Checkmate, new owner is a real boater, look at the stuff they are pumping out of there, Punisher for example.

It's just not graphics, even the cockpits are plain ugly. How they did the shapes of the seats and sunpad headrests. Nothing has curves to it. It just looks cheapened up in my opinion. Dont like them at all.
