Fountain buying Baja Molds?
 

I have heard from a reliable source that Fountain is going to buy some of the Baja molds to come out with a lower priced line at Fountain. Brunswick is selling off Baja. Anyone else know more?

Reg & no steps!!!!!:party-smiley-004:

Hearing the same....

It would make sense for Fouintain to do a secondary line- some association but avoiding brand dilution.

At the same time, it wouldn't make sense for Baja to sell just the molds. The entire company- maybe. Baja's value isn't in a pile of molds, alot of it is the brand name and recognition.

I know Fountain's are fast and ride good but I feel the fit and finish are pretty much the same with the two, is it that much cheaper to build a non stepped boat or are they going to under build the Baja line ? .

I believe Baja is already owned, at least in part, by Brunswick. They fell out of trust years ago with MerCruiser/Brunswick, which gave controlling interest.

under the Baja section there is something about it. I can't imagine they would completely do away with Baja's. They still do sell alot of them

I have several friends who work at Baja and theese kinds of rumors come out of the factory on a regular basis. Hell last year there was a Fountain sitting in the lot at the plant and the next thing you know "Reggie bought the place" :rolleyes:

There very well could be some dealings happening between Brunswick, Baja, and Fountain but at the rate that rumors fly out of that place I will belive it when I see the Brunswick press release.

How much cheaper is it to rig a baja hull than a fountain hull?:rolleyes:

So the new name will be FAJA:party-smiley-004:
