I would go with the 31' Cig or the Formula 311.

I owned a 311 before going to a Cig and it was a solid boat

This bullet is $38,500, no trailer and all stock but you could probably be in it with a trailer for under 40K

My 88 checkmate is listed on boats.com with a broker. Fresh motor and a true 9 out of 10 boat. It is a red/white 28 with a 502 n/a with dry headers. I am located in South Bend In and the boat is in my heated garage at home. I just had it running on sat. It can be had for 23K. My email is [email protected].

Out of the 3 i'd have to say the donzi,it looks real clean,it's a heavy boat so it'll be good in the chop,and also has good power for cruise and top end....That'd be my pick

Re: Opinions on downsizing needed
 

the donzi is not near my price range.

Re: Opinions on downsizing needed
 

cant go wrong with this. a little more then your price range but well worth it. plus, it will hold its value down the road and take all the punishment you can throw at it.

I've got a friend with an '89?? Formula 311 with upgraded paint, newer Bravos, and newer +/-450hp engines. Fresh water boat at LOTO. I think he wants about 35k for it. Pm me if get serious and I'll put you in contact with him.

Selling my 312 Stinger no motors for 10K

Re: Opinions on downsizing needed
 

Whats the Stinger look like? That apache is nice too. How are the apache 28 cabins?

Re: Opinions on downsizing needed
 

Down sizing is tough, because you know how nice it is to take waves with more length. There are a lot of days on Lake Mich that boating in something 30' or smaller can be more frustrating than fun. Remember true hull length is the correct measure. We could both think of a 32' boat that may really only have 28-29' running surface. Also K-planes are a must.
