Baja Marine currently is building Baja sportboats from 23 to 35 feet in four model lines. The new Baja 30 GT shown above will debut at the upcoming Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.



According to the release, the acquisition was prompted by ongoing demand from customers and dealers for new boats from Donzi, Fountain, and Pro-Line since American Marine Holdings suspended production of these brands in 2011. Production of Donzi, Fountain, and Pro-Line models will resume in 2013.
