Sea Ray Vs. Formula

[baconbiscut]

I just wanted to bring up the subject. We have a 1986 Formula F-25PC cruiser. I was looking at Sea-Rays from the same era as our Formula and they look very similar I also noticed that the hulls were similar. I was also wondering if Formula and Sea Ray had any ties in the 80's. If you had the choice in purchasing a cruiser which would you pick Formula or Sea Ray.

Re: Sea Ray Vs. Formula

Don Aronow & Vic Porter are the ones responsible for Formula Boats,Whereas in 1986 Sea Ray became part of the Brunswick Corporation which is the largest manufacturer of boats around,owning most boat company's such as - Cabo-boston whaler-lowe-lund-sea pro-maxum-sea ray ect.....
Sooo,to answer the original question.....I'd rather have a Formula...Family owned company...smaller line of boats...only one factory producing = greater quality control,not to mention employee pride,Dont get me wrong,i am a huge searay fan, but...Formula is a better boat.
