I sold my cig and bought a 40' formula 400ss
Having a cruiser that can do 60 mph seemed to be the best of both worlds
Didn't take long till I bought another cig
Now having both is the hot ticket

I have been a go-fast guy for years and I started hanging out with cruiser folks a few years back and now I have a 540 Sea Ray and I love it for sure. If I had to make a choice it would probably be the cruiser just because we stay on it all the time and it is awesome to have 20 friends out to party all day.
Now the go fast boats as stated earlier are a sickness without a cure. The speed is so addictive and the HP and the women in bikinis and the attention is something that cannot be matched or described. If you can stand both then it is great but losing all the amenities would be tough going from a cruiser to a go fast. Now there are some cross overs from Formula and Fountain but honestly they aren't good at either so I would suggest make a choice. They are small cruisers that go sort of fast unless you find a 48EC Fountain with big power you are stuck in between...

The hot ticket is to have a buddy who can afford a huge cruiser, and have your own fast boat with a lounge, bathroom etc. That way when you and a few chickas decide to head out you are the envy of every man stuck on that huge terd of a cruiser the rest of the night.

You don't have to go 125 mph to feel the difference is a cruise vs a power boat. I had a 24 Outlaw for many years that went about 60 mph and loved it but wanted something a little bigger and was looking at a 28 Sundancer because of the room and layout. I took it for a test drive and I can only describe it as it felt like I was driving a tub. I hated the ride but loved the layout. I just could never own one. Maybe when I'm older but I am 44 now so not a spring chicken so I don't see a cruise in my future. The ride is so different and now with the new Donzi I just bought I would say I have the bug!
