Jason, just out of curiousity, if you and Jay switched boats for a race to Claudios, who would get there first? Jason driving the Formula, and Jay driving the Baja. :eek::eek::eek:

Frank, what do you think?

The boats are pretty similar. I have more freeboard and I believe more deadrise but not 100% sure. I can't knock Formulas at all 'cause I think they're a great boat and mostly I can't knock this one because it belongs to a very good friend of mine. Now as far as the boats compared....The Formula is a better built boat. Baja is more mass produced and cheaper quality wise. But I do love the offshore stance it has as Kevin and Frank mentioned, I think the Bajas really got it right with style and appearance. Also I am a true 30 whereas the Formula is a 29 with platform. And yes because of his small blocks I am faster. I also come on plane ridiculously quick. Ammenities are almost the same between the two. I believe the only thing I lack is a small freshwater tank with the little sink in the cabin. I have more cabin and cockpit space due to being a bigger boat. The other plus (besides big blocks) are the k-planes as compared to trim tabs. They make a huge difference in the rough or balancing a load. But both boats are absoultely perfect for our area. Small enough to trailer but large enough to boat on any given day, faster than a large amount of boats in the area, big enough to haul plenty of people around, efficient to run and own, usable cabins for overnighting, and a relatively decent price tag for an entry level performance boat as Jay and I both purchased them new. The only thing I don't have is "the bucket"!!! And...Paulie can't go on EITHER of them!!:evilb::evilb::evilb:

Some good pionts here that I overlooked but having the tabs is a big one. Jay should buy some whipples and run that Formula @85 mph. and laugh at everyone.

Paulie , I think youve burried yourself for the last time! Frank, you are the only one to take the little guy in! Good luck with that! Oh, wait, Lefty said he would....................NOT!!!!! sorry Paulie, Roli may let you on,or is his boat not good enough for you either?:grinser010:

So.... I will start the toast........ TO US!!!!!! :drink: (minus Dickeo, of course! lol. BTW Paulie....your banned from the Formula as well.) :eek:

Ok Jay, this has been on my mind for your boat also.When that boat does over 80 MPH, it puts you and your boat in a whole other catagory! I will like you better as a person. It builds character.( Not that you dont have enough now) But , heres the thing, waiting 5 years is too long. That boat is set up way to conservativley to break anything. Be a true offshore boater and set it on kill mode. That would be the coolest sleeper. I say act NOW, for we all may not be here in 5 yrs!!!! Plus, imagine what kind of panic Jason will have to go through if your boat does 85 MPH. He wont sleep at night! I may not sleep at night! Frank will never sleep again!!!!!!!!:eek:

Jay and Kev...It would put Jay in a whole other category. The broken drive one. I can't imagine alphas holding up too long. And I'd love to see that boat go any faster than it does. Should be interesting. And, since we're dreaming, why not throw some 6's on the back and drop in some 1050's!!! Then we wouldn't sleep!! :coolcowboy:

WOAH, WOAH, WOAH. That boat came with Alphas on it? No, say it aint so Jay! :eek::eek::eek:

You write the check Kev....and I'll make the order today! Deal? Actually, I only have 2 summers left on the warranty.....so it's not THAT far away!!!!

Hmmmmmmm.......just thinking, Whipples would shut everyone up now though!!!!! :party-smiley-004:

How about if Jen was delivering tall cold ones too boot? Thats what I thought. Jay, have Jen deliver him beer during the process, and he be happy to help you out!!!!!!!

PS.....Ive been lookin into supercharging your boat, and whipples are the way to go!!!!! More to come......:drink::drink:
