True

I still priced one out how I'd like it though. $562k. That doesn't include the $55k gyro thingamajig.

Chump change for a bowrider!

I'll be able to afford it when I win the lottery.
But I'll probably buy a house on the ocean or intercoastal and buy an ocean boat.
Maybe for my place on Lake Tahoe?

500k+ boat... for the folks looking at this, 50k is walk around money.

The R33 looks pretty sweet. I currently have an R7 for our place in Tahoe and have been considering ordering a Formula 350CBR. Now that I have seen the R33 I have a tough choice to make. I love my R7 and have been impressed with the Cobalt quality. With 5 kids and all their friends we have run out of room on the R7. I never liked the look of the R35 which made me take a look at the Formula boats. It's going to be a tough choice especially since the R33 is $150-$200K less expensive. I would not spend $50K for the Gyro....

Wouldn't the 330CBR be a better comp from a size and price comparison?

IMO, I think Formula does a better job with the Head and Cabin layouts on their CBR series vs R33/35. I like the sun pad and swim platform on the Cobalts better.

You will have one helluva boat no matter which you choose.

Your right the 330CBR would be a better price comparison. I like the cabin in the 350 better than the 330. I would get the 350 over the 330 since the extra space is always needed. There are + and - to both the Cobalt and Formula.
