New Formula Boat Dealer

Let's not pretend here, the Formula brand is a performance brand. Very few of theirs are racing boats, but they are selling performance or at least the appearance of it . Their bow riders, dayboats, and cruisers all have bigger engines then similar models from Searay or other brands. There is nothing wrong with that as a business model. Very few Ford Mustangs actually race but a lot of them look like race cars.

I think they are overpriced and have suceeded in spite of this because of their racy styling and great financing. It should be interesting to watch their progress in an era of tight money and speed limits.

So if I decide to slurge on 41' Performance Cruiser, which side of the bay do I visit?

Finally short of a hurricane or tsunami, I ain't buying weather causing the Diamond Island crash. Simple rule, I you can't see, slow down.
