Default If there wasn't Formula...

If Formula didn't exist, or (God forbid) they got purchased by Brunswick or Genmar, what manufacturer would you go with and why? You may want to consider: resale, material & build quality, ride, customer service, styling, value, etc. Is there another manufacturer you have a lot of respect for or would you rather not boat if you can't do it in a Formula?

OK, Formula Gods please forgive me, but I would go with a Fountain. While I don't think the build quality is as good, they are well built high performance boats that are generally very fast.

I'd probably go with a Powequest, Nice big cockpits, well built, not quite as pricey as most. Hate the name though. When they lost the name battle to PowerPlay out of Florida, I couldn't believe they picked "Powerquest". It's like they're looking for power or something!! Of course, if money were no object,,,,,,,1-800-CIGARETTE, "Hello, Cigarette, build me a big obnoxious one right away"

I'd go with another used Formula.

Gee, if Formula wasn't started, then Don Aronow wouldn't have started Magnum, Cigarette, or Donzi. We wouldn't have the sport of offshore racing, as we know it, either.
I guess we'd all be running around in Bayliners.

I can't imagine not having Formula or the others around.
