Depends on what your looking for. Formula is a nice boat. I love the donzi 28zx.

Can't beat a Formula. Best customer service in the industry. I have a 382 and a 260 SS. I think PowerQuest went out of business ...?

I compared Formula and Cobalt when I was shopping. In EVERY respect, from ergonomics, quality of materials, styling, ride, handling, cockpit layout, storage, etc. etc. etc. the Formula was the clear winner. For that reason I bought the Formula. In retrospect, I definitely made the correct decision.

Just in build quality alone the Formula stands heads above it's competitors.

Crawl in and around a Formula...then go look at the others...you will go back to the Formula...easy call.
