I'm on my second Envision and you may want to give them a look. They make a 26' bowrider. There's several for sale on boattraderonline.com. You will get a rock solid boat build by a company that cares, with zero turnover in staff (consistancy), and a hull that can take rough water. :cool: |
YES check out Baja they are a kick azz boat and are more staple than any names mentioned so far.Why do you guys think they out sell all the names so far i am guessing there is a reason. Its cuz they kick ass.:evilb:

what dealership should i contact in Dallas for Formulas?

Can't beat the quality of Formula for the money. But I would take a hard look at the Donzi too. Good luck and please share what you learn. I'm going to buy something that size or smaller as a stop - gap prior to a Cig. or Apache.

The 288 sunny is an awesome boat. WEll made, ride and run great. I have been on a few and have been impressed. Different boat than a formula though. Formula and envision are more of a luxury/high performance boat where as the sunny's seem t be more high performance first luxury second. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though, just depends on what your looking for.

Advantage also makes an open bow. I personally don't care for the lines of the advantage, but I think they are a good bit cheaper than Forumla and Sunsation.

http://www.legendmari*****up.com/ As for baja - they outsell because they are cheap boats. |
I have a 2002 Formula 280 Bowrider with twin 350s for sale and a 2006 Formula 280 Bowrider with twin 350s.

Why don't you just step up to a bigger Cobalt? My dad just bought a nice Cobalt 262 for under 40K. It's a sweet rig.

i could stretch to $60k for the right boat.
Is Donzi and Formula close in quality? I want a high quality boat. |
Remember one thing, all boats are junk, yes ALL boats, some just cost more than others. That being said, I would consider Baja, great boat for the money. I have spent much much more on boats and have found I had just as much fun with my less expensive Baja's. But most importantly remember, ALL boats are junk.
