96 Formula

Anyone know the story on the 38 Formula in the classifieds. Seems like a great deal for 68K. Says it has HP500's and says something about race... what's that mean? Looking for a 35, but for that price why not go with a 38. Thanks in advance.

Don't know it...
96 Formulas are straight bottoms and 96-97 have black dashes. The 38 is a tank compared to the 35. Much, much bigger than the 35 and not as "nimble" a feel. If cabin space and rough water ride are important then the 38 is the way to go. (I went from the 31 to the 38!!!!)

I understand bigger is better but a 35 should be able to handle some pretty big water shouldn't it?

The 35 is a great boat. Many people think they are better than a 382. If you need more room get a 382. If you want a more sporty feel get a 353.
