Re: Formula / Lakeport Landing.
I bought from lakeport last year (and again this year). I also traded in my 23' four winns to get the 28' formula. you can't even compare these two boats (nor can you on price).
I put over 150 hours on both the boats in one season. after 150 hours, the four winns was feeling all those bumps. lots of stuff loosened up over the summer. I had to tighten quite a bit of bolts on too regular a basis.
the formula survived the summer extremely well. handles the bumps much much better. I didn't have any problems. so, I bought a bigger one this year. can't wait!!!
we also thought we had to have a bowrider. our 23' four winns sat 10 people, but it was tight. normally we had two families aboard. usually four adults and four kids. it was tight. when we were looking at a formula in the beginning, we thought we needed a bowrider. turns out, the cuddy 260 almost has as much seating as my 23' bowrider, but with a nice place to sleep or put the kids down for a little. it ended up being very nice to have the cuddy.
and can't say enough about lakeport service. they are great!!
