Being on Rattlesnake Broads side we have two boats, one is the Formula which is great if the waves are cranking and a 18' Whaler which when conditions allow (90% of the time) is the more desirable boat to use. We don't boat around the lake much anymore except for Dinner or if a visitor wants a tour so the Whaler sees the most use. I like Cobalts, I think they rank right with Formula.
