Looking for some input on a new boat purchase
 

Hi All,
New to the forum, and joined because I am selling my four winns h210 in search of a bigger faster bowrider with room to roam. I spend most of my time on sebago lake in maine which in my opinion is far to rough for my fourwinns. After searching endlessly for a bowrider from the normal crew (fourwinns, cobalt, searay etc..) that will hit 60mph and have some room to roam for the family. With a budget of 85k I am hoping you guys might have some input. I really liked a listing of a 28' magic i found but then found out they were no longer in business. Anyways just open to some ideas. I will list some input to my prefrences below.
2010 or newer,
24-28'
simple colors (dont care for all the bright colors)
swim platform
60+ mph
capt call
bowrider

thanks

Definitely Cobalt at the top of the list

love cobalt boats! don't have much that will do 60 in my price range!!

I would add formula to that list but it might be hard to find any 2010 and newer 60mph cruisers for 85k. If you expanded criteria to mid 2000s I bet you’d find something that was well taken care of.

I looked into formula 27O reviews and they were surprising slow. I know of a 2005 cobalt and a 2009 chap with 525 mercs in them with around 300 hours on them. I have heard good and bad about them.

Life gets better on the water over 80mph. This is a cool boat, factory demo. I bet they’d take 85K for it.

Many of the west coast boats offer open bow seating - Nordic, Howard, Elimnator etc.

If I was in the market for a open bow that ran 60+ it would be the Sunsation 288 or Nordic Heat 28
