You got a great deal, was it a Repo? I don' need to sell it and am certainly not going to give it away. It is in great condition... If it doesn't sell I will keep enjoying it. I can think of a lot worse things than bring stuck with a Formula 292

Twice the hours, no trailer( please correct me if I'm wrong Moses), does tours have hydraulic steering? Bimini top with full enclosure? Every boat and deal is different, just saying

NautibyNature, I didnt mean any dis-respect. I am sure your boat is in excellent shape and well cared for...I am just saying there are some great deals out there. This might be a hard move at this price. You should keep it and enjoy it...The 292's are a blast.
The price I gave is a little misleading. We paid 39k for the boat and 3k for an all aluminum real extreme trailer (company in florida)...So a total of 42k. However the dealer threw in 2 brand new props into the deal. So we have 2 sets. All of which are in great shape. So that was an added value of almost 1k. Plus they delivered it to our local marina free of charge from new jersey. That would probably have cost another 500. On top of that we have the upgraded lightning graphics. I think this is the ojnly 292 with this graphic package in the country (a 10k add on)
Our boat does not have a bimini top but does have hydraulic steering. Now I dont think it is as in good of shape as yours but we certainly did well. Here are pics to refresh the memory...

also keep in mind...sometimes hours can be deceiving on a boat. a buyer has to weigh regular use (wear and tear) vs. non regular use (wear tear from sitting around)...
i have seen some 8 yr old boats with little hours but they just sat around. seals were dried out. not everything worked properly. i am not saying this is the case with your boat. just saying just because its low hours means its a slam dunk. buying any boat is a risk. underlying problems can exist on even the most cared for boats...
