For a few more dollars Formula is a clear step up.

And if money is not a consideration, I see the Chris Craft dealer has a showroom full and thats about as top shelf as you can get on Winnipesaukee.

Many Options at each price level.

Our last boat was a Caravelle and for the price it was a solid boat that held up exceptionally well over a 10 year period. Only problem is they stop at 23'

Shop around a lot and talk to current and former owners before signing on the bottom line as there are clear differences in what you see and how well they hold up and perform and they are all a big investment for the use we get out of them. Just saw someones calculations of cost per hour used (as in run time) and over a several year period and after selling his boat for a very good price, total cost per hour it was used was ~$850/Hr. So do as much research as possible before you commit.

Good Luck, its a tough decision when you do all the homework.
