35ft - 3 ft water = not as stable in rough sea & less room in cabin.
ive heard the beak design steers better than the formula...
but i like the formula better.
however, the early designs of WELLCRAFT SCARAB, circa 1978 are still widely accepted as the most classic and truly superior design of all time.

The Formula site didn't list top speed. But get this, it's only 175 pounds heavier with more boat in the water. Hmmm...
Centerline Length: 35' 3" (10.74 m)
Maximum Beam: 8' 3" (2.51 m)
Approx. Weight: 8,575 lbs (3,890 kg)
