Thanks Todd for responding. My Name is Tom. I have a friend in Algonac who has owned a Red Baron forever pretty much. Still has it. And it runs good. Must of been mid 80's when he got it. His name is Tony . He has two other friends that have Barons too. McGregor and the ither guy. Lol. I forget . So that's 5 including yours and whomever else you may know that owns one. It would be cool as hell to see all the barons together on lake saint Clair .

They got sued from Florida comoany.over the name. Then they called it a power play and cut up the mold a few years later.
I think that's how it goes. If I wrong please enlighten us all. Anyone know the Owner of Baron co. Can I contact him ? |
Not sure the color on that first one, don't remember it being blue. There are some pics on one of the old posting of it with out a windshield. Tmonza has another one now, there is one more. A gal we know bought one out of St Clair Shores years ago. Took it to Cali and lost it. Friend of mine has a 26' Baron, that John Best (Best Shot) put together years ago. He's had that since the late 80's.

Tommy here. My older brother Dave was the one that designed and built the Barons. He isn't into performance boats at all anymore and doesn't have whole lot of recollection of those years like I do. I guess to many Styrene fumes and too much Acetone contact. Lol Todd on here has my old Blue Baron that I think might be a 79. . Anyways I dugout the title for my current Baron I own to look at the vin. |

My current Baron was built exactly before yours. Mine was the first colored hull and it was built In Red by suggestion of John Crouse who owned Blue Lagoon marina and was going to be put it in the upcoming Cobo Hall boat show.
I believe mine is the 3rd boat built though there is no indication in the Vin number. Anyway my boat came out of the mold with really bad alligatoring in the gelcoat so was put aside and your hull was laid up just days prior to the boat show than towed to Detroit and my brother and I basically assembled that boat outside of Cobo Hall. So dig up your vin and lets see if they make any sense . There were 11 or 13 built plus the original fiberglass plug with no deck that was sold but we don't know what became of it . My current Baron. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.off...c6f27e12d4.jpg |

The Ist Baron built had this rounded. windshield. We couldn't get the new style split windshield built in Time for the show so we temporarily attached the old style on your boat for the show.
