"if" i were looking for a boat with windshield, I would be looking at bajas and formula. Formulas do have some nice features on some of their boats.. foot steps that move.. thats cool!

with all that said.. From what I have seen, since the Formula is a 97, I would choose the baja......soley b/c the 97 will have a black dash on the formula which imho looks dated. At least all the 30ft formulas I was looking at did.!

98's formula started with the white..

baja will run about 65ish with the 502... not sure the formula

other than that!! jump in both boat and see which one you like..

Ya'll will enjoy both!
+1
and Baja will be a little roomier

my fountain has that, but to be honest it the color of the dash doesnt make you go faster, and people dont notice. For a few hundred bucks you can either paint or replace that dash plate I would think.

Where in upstate.

Add another Formula vote here.

Baja's are nice but not on the same quality level of a Formula.

The black dash is not the plates, that easy replacement its the whole front area fiberglass thats black.

I almost thought that as am trying to remember the formula. But still if dash color kills ya, i guess to each his own. But I will still think somebody could creative and paint it.

Bajas have some of the most silly color schemes anyways and would much rather have black anyways.

SO true, the pink and teal is horrible on some years.

Agreed, but those colors were on all boats in the
90's....including Formula! My buddy has a 33 Outlaw that I LOVE the cockpit room!....but thats another thread....

So very true

Personally I like the black dash, with updated gauges it looks really nice imo. And the going trend in boats these days is going back to darker dashes. Look at damn near every new high end boat. Hell even look at new searays.
