You'll be ready to move up to a Sea-Ray soon!

Hi Mike, I have a 32 Fever I reciently upgraded with 496 H.O'S and Whipple 2.3 super chargers and drives. The Quality of the hull and hardware out lived the power units. Excelent workmanship and solid electrical wiring and hardware. You will be glad once you made the Fountain decision.

A 35 Lighning with 525's runs over 100.

BTW: Baja has such a long history of offshore performance victories. Hey, why don't you post them? Lets compare them to Fountains.

Why that name calling again ????

And why don't u bring any kind of BAJA out and i play with u if u need to get your AZZ kicked and we see ?!

+ which Baja has a victory to claim,,,u did not answer that . Instead u start bashing ?????

Oh ,,and by the way . I rebuilt this boat myself and i don't care what u think,,,i am proud off it because i am either a mechanic nor a fiberglass guy !!!
And i race it !!!
Did u built the BAJA ???

Good look in your POOR life ,,i hate weak people !!

Don't even start with him,,,he knows it all............ I can guaranty I know more than you. With this comment I will not need to answer your PM as to why I called you dirtdevil.


Tell you what "IF" your "RACE BOAT"makes it through the season and 'IF" you make it to Port Clinton race how about we each put up $1000.00 for a run from Detroit light to the islands and back. Then Baja may have its first BIG win. I know that is asking a lot as you most likely wont even finish either race or have enough junk parts around to make it that far into the season.
