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!!

Agree....we should be happy with the fact we OWN one of these types of boats (whatever the brand). Unless you have "throw away" income....financing on one of these things is basically impossible. So.... I will start the toast........ TO US!!!!!! (minus Dickeo, of course! lol. BTW Paulie....your banned from the Formula as well.)
