How much of a obvious copy can you make without skippy calling up the lawyers.

Wow. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, but still. Really?

Not only classic, i would think in most of our eyes exclusive.

Looks horrible on that boat, to short, cockpits to long and not enough deck to pull it off. Nope . . . . that scheme is reserved for one and only one boat

Whats worse is some moron in design was actually paid to hatch up this idea

A few things:

1. Yes 90 mph paint scheme has been a Cigarette theme for decades
2. Baja logo on the side in an oval looks "Cig"like as well

But remember Cig sent their first Top Gun Open to the Ft Lauderdale show with a dead ringer of Sunsation's F4 paint scheme too....

look at the photo thumbnails on the right side


Bottom line................they all do it!

I actually sort of like it , and it's a true 35ft'r. White hull with a pinstripe and you've got a sharp looking ride. Imagine the lines if it where a 39 or so

Its like the Pontiac Aztec, anybody can have a few to many martinis at lunch but the worst part is that someone higher up approved it.......

One good thing I see is at least there is finally a anchor locker on a outlaw.

But man they can not take a good photo to save there life!! I high school kid in the school paper could probably take better photos. They need to higher a professional photographer
