Sure, I wanna be one of the big dog's on the lake, but to what end??

I just want me and my wife to be able to have a good time on the water. She wants a little comfort and quarters, I want a little speed. I'll never be the biggest or fastest, but I want to be noticed at least a little.

It seems that many people here had more fun with previous "smaller"boats than what they are currently running.
I don't want my boat to become an albatross around my neck, I want something that is easy to run, easy on the wallet(if that is possible...)
I'm leaning towards the Formula or Older Cig 28SS. I've even found a few boats identicle to my old Baja that I've considered.

Good points. If you tow to the water regularly, big get's old in a hurry.

Yet I find myself wanting larger all the time. :hothead:

Tough choice, as I've had a few great boats. The 1994 40' Hustler w/triple Blackhawks was the best just due to its enormity and rough sea capability.
Had smaller boats that were faster, but the trips are something special.

I have the Formula you need. I hate to let her go, but we don't use it much since we moved. It will turn heads, easy to launch and trailer, not too rough on the wallet.

First boat I bought was a 1963 Glasspar G-3 with 100 Merc.This year I found one just like it,totally restored. All it needed was an old 100 Merc. I found one and have come full circle 43 years later.Runs 59 mph and runs all afternoon on a 6 gallon fuel tank :drink: Light enough to store on a PWC lift. Karen thinks I'm nuts but sometimes it's good to relive the old days :p

That's exactly why I chose my 22' Pachanga as my favorite.
Easy to trailer, man handle, drive (no screwing with tabs and drives every time you go to get on plane) easy on gas, stays on plane at a low speed, (kinda miss just the slow put puts )and always got compliments on it.

Good topic
