Baja, Donzi, Fountain, VIP, Scarab, or Formula?
Hello all, im new to the boating world and was wondering if I could have your opinion on a few boats. Ive always owned Cobalts, and am ready to get into the Cigarette type boats--only thing is that i have no clue between manufacturers. So my question is--which boat manufacturers are known for quality? I want a boat in the 24-34 foot range, as a first boat, and will be running it in a local lake here in central texas which can be rough---Lake Travis. I would like a boat that can run 70mph, what combo does it usually take to do that? Is there a big difference between a 502 and a 454? Which boat cuts rough water the best? Im the kind of person that either has the boat pegged or is sitting anchored in a cove. So im looking for quality and speed and was wondering if yall could give me your opinions on the aforementioned boat manufacturers. thanks

Take a look at Active Thunder. We have been looking to move up to a 35-40' boat from a 29' and were very impressed with what they have to offer. We looked at Formula, Donzi, Sonic, PowerPlay and Fountain and found that Active Thunder offered a lot more value than the others. They are not widely known, but they build top notch boats. Visit their website at www.activethunderboats.com and give Steve a call. Their customer service and attention to detail will blow you away.

Do you want a cabin? If not the Phantom 30 Speedster is the boat to scream around in at a reasonable price. Just don't plan on any overnights.

You have so many boats to choose from in that range that you should really go to a few boat shows or spend your weekend go to boat yards.
