My first boat was a 27' Cobalt, so when we moved up I was looking for quality as well. The 26' Formula would be a good choice. It's a sharp boat and Formula's are well built. I've been in a number of them. I checked out a 26' this weekend and I would be proud to own one.
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.

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.

As for baja - they outsell because they are cheap boats.

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.
