We are looking at a 1984 Formula Cruiser - engine rebuilt 2 years ago. Does anyone have an opinion on Formula Boats?

For a good quality, highly durable, used, general recreational power boat to water ski around a cove, maybe take an overnight trip and sleep a couple of people underneath, any recommendations for boat types, or boat types to stay away from? Thanks, we are new to boating.

Re: Formula Boats - General Question

Formula boats are well made, but ANY boat that age will most likely have some issues.
A true cabin cruiser (stand-up interior) won't make a good ski boat, just as a good ski boat wouldn't make a good overnighter.
For a good all-around boat, look for a single engine cuddy cabin, maybe with a camper canvas, between 22- 26 feet. The interior will be spartan- little more than a pup tent- but they are perfectly suited for what you intend to do.

Here's a random sample of what I mean taken from iboats classifieds:
