I am trying to educate myself. Looking to get into a different style of boat, I find these 3 hulls appealing, each has their pluses to me for various reasons. I posted earlier about the Donzi, but the other 2 have advantages due to their location. A little guidance concerning the quality, performance, etc. would be appreciated. All are 2001 boats in the middle upper 20K range. Not trying to generate a Ford vs. Chevy debate, just wanting to educate myself. I have to say that I have always admired Donzi when I see one at the dock, but that is curb appeal only.

donzi will have the least room, and cabin is tighter, a tad faster, Formula is probably the best overall boat, nut I am byast, The baja is also a nice boat but I havent actually been on a 275, just a 272, and while I'm not a Baja fan it was a well layed out boat

I had a 26zx 502 stok w/EMI manifolds. 70mph gps is the best I saw consistantly. Good boat. Small cabin with somewhat poor layout. Fast, fun, well built boats that get alot of thumbs up from people on the lakes. Having the wider beam makes it feel like a larger boat.

I like the lines of the Donzi and they build a good boat. This is close to you https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/rch/bod/5254111175.html its CDN dollars so with exchange its below budget. Since its American made no duty at the border. I don't know the seller, as with all craigs ads it could be a scam. Its been for sale awhile now.
