Just when I thought the Donzi, fountain, Baja drama could not surprise me anymore

Exhaust above the platform....ugh. They need to un-cheapen the interior and get some better graphics. Nobody ever says "hey I want an eagle on the side of my boat"...but they did it.... I agree...only one boat for the graphic on the link....CIGARETTE...there is no substitute.

Click on the 247 Islander tab and then look through the exterior photos until you get to the swim platform shots. Two swim ladders. One of which will be a b!tch to use.

I love Baja but in general the new boat graphics are terrible. I guess I'm in the minority because I like the simpler solid style baja hulls with the logo like my 292 Islander (http://www.offshoreonly.com/gallery/...ander&cat=3071). If you go to the 277 Islander page and look at the exterior photos, scroll to the orange hull boat. Instead of those crappy stick-on graphics in the main photo I think they should feature that boat. The orange is bright/wild enough to get attention but not cheap looking. I'm also in the minority in because I don't think the interiors are bad EXCEPT for that rear bench. The rear bench and upper back bolster look super plain and cheap. My old Stingray had the kind of back bench I like with the upper bolsters with the Stingray Powerboats logo stitched in. I think they just need to refine a little bit and stick with some bright/wild colors but no crazy stick on graphics or knock-off cig paint jobs and they will sell some boats.
Maybe I'm the only one that hopes this joint venture between the three companies will work out and produce a great line of sport boats (Baja - more affordable, fun, get people into sportboats in a well-made boat, Fountain - a step up and stepped hull boat, Donzi - top of the line).
