I also had a 14' Lund, then a 24' Baja to a 38 Hustler. Had a blast with all of them.

27' formula to the 40' hawk, but I've run a lot of different boats and grew up on a 36 sport fish, so everything felt small until I was in the hawk (even that seems small some days)

Went from 16' Jon boat....to wellcraft 233 eclipse....to 21' rinker, then to a 38' formula. Have gone through more than a dozen mid to hih 20s in that time, but I keep holding on to the formula. She is so pleasant around the docks....and she's so loud, she pisses the old q-tips and tree huggers off. That alone is worth the 900++ fill up

That's cool to know that you started in a Lund as well. Then making the jump up to a Baja as well. I'm like you when I want to go bigger it's at least 10' or more. My next boat I would like to get a 35' Formula or a 35' Fountain

I just recently went from a 24 Outlaw to a 35 Donzi ZR. Big difference and going to take awhile to feel comfortable but getting there. definitely worth it.
