Default New here, bought my first Formula

Hello everyone just saying hello. I am new to this forum as I am purchasing my first Formula. This will be my third boat I had a 15' Tri hull, a 1986 21' Searay Seville.

Now on my fifth year of boating I have purchased a 1989 Formula 223. This boat is like brand new, no fading, oxidation, or cracks anywhere. Its yellow, black and grey. I cannot wait to pick it up and start the season. I will be bringing it home early this coming week. It has a 454/330hp in it with the silent thunder exhaust, which will be being "fixed" after doing some research.

I cant wait to learn and post some of the upgrades I have planned.

That's the one. She is in perfect shape. I'll try ad get some pics up tonight or tomorrow. I don't have many good ones yet. But the whole boat looks like it came off the showroom floor. Out drive is going on Monday or tues then were gonna run it. All I have to do is put a better radio and speakers in it . Gonna be great.

Maybe not the site, but definitely the Formula forum

don't want to rain on your parade it is a very nice boat but look into the moisture in the transom at least look into why and see if you can stop anymore getting in there seal every thrutransom if it were my boat i would take out all the thru transom stuff over the winter let it air out then reseal everything in the spring good luck with the new toy
