Cobalt 263 Vs. Formula 260 SS

Post by Jeniper74 »

Im in the market for a Boat. Never owned either but have owned many. How does formula stack up to Cobalt in terms of build quality, resale and parts availability.

Considering these two.

Thanks guys!....... Your input is appreciated and respected!

Very comparable layouts and power options.
Like Ford vs GM Vs Mopar. All will have there highs and lows.

I saw you're other posting about a 262 I think it was, that you passed on due to spider cracks and advice here.
Keep us posted on whatever you buy.
