I’m going to predict that the reason Fountain is last in line is because Reggie is either going to get the company back or be a big part of it. Just my opinion.

I see it as great news because it means that I will no longer own a dead boat brand. Should make getting spare parts a lot easier.

“Craig Barrie (the vice president of sales and marketing for all brands) is taking orders for boats as we speak.”
Is this a new position for Craig or has he been with Baja for a while?

That was my question. Who are these people and what experience do they have in the industry?

Take a look at the photos of the new models on the baja marine website, the 26 and 23 models are just plain ugly from a design stand point. the new outlaw font is horrible, not to mention the single color stick on vynil graphics

First order should be to fire the designer

What you dont think that "Speed Racer" and "Batman" and "Iron Man" and "Superman" and "Monopoly" are Neato Bandito boats? Hands down some of the gayest boats ever to float on water.

Craig is a veteran in the industry, President of Cigarette, Dragon and head of sales for Donzi.

Yeah, the new Baja graphics are bad and I only say that as constructive criticism. Get rid of that "GT" wrapped in a Baja swoosh. Is it a GT?...is it a Baja?...who knows it just looks odd.

They should align an icon for each of the brands - Reggie for fountain, Barrie for Donzi and of course Bill Dance for the Pro-line fishing boat line

The rear shot of the 30 really make sit look bad, look at how the rear sundeck comes together in the back completely misfitted and the headrest must have been a way afterthought
