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?

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:
