When they get older I will get my big ride.


not a bad idea- we have ski boats here and in Canada and a cruiser for the Mississippi River right now- we took the 5-year-old out for a ride with a friend on a Top Gun on Lake M and she didn't like the noise and the speed all that well. She'll have the need for speed in due time. We're taking a short break, but we'll have another, most likely another Thunder or Cig. I think you'd do fine with the Baja- I've never owned one, but the folks that I know that own them seem to like them. Too bad they went under- Fountain has the rights to them, but no firm plans for reproduction as of yet.
