back to the banana patches and t-shirts, "Papa Banana"

down here in Brooklyn, our banana boats are more likely to be the ice cream sundaes rather than the hot racin' kind, but i know of a cute little italian girl and her even cuter and even littler Italian Greyhound who would be interested in the "new" Banana wear...do these patches stick well to fur?

Really? I bet no one knew that.
Did you buy the molds, or did BAJA actually build them? I have most of the BAJA brochures from the 70s and 80s. I work there now by the way. Doug was gone long before I started there.

No we never had the molds, I would just buy a complete boat and put the banana decal on them. Doug didn't have any dealers oout here so it wasn't bothering his sales at all.

My son had an 18 footer with a 115 Merc when he was about 12 or so....now that we are all older and wiser, can't believe we did that but.......

Id like to see some pictures if you have some. I'll have to ask a guy I work with tomorrow if he remembers that. He's been there since about 73 I believe.
