Boat is currently for sale with the engines in pieces, had a leaking CMI header (I hate those things, but they sure do shine). Completely restored cabin and cockpit, updated dash, etc. It would be a great candidate for twin 1000's and #6's. Currently have it insured with State Farm for about $900.00 a year. Was not a problem insuring once Formula sent me a letter that the boat was manufactured with triples, SF thought the engines were not stock, so they were originally reluctant to insure. I've owned a 292 sri, 357 sri kamma and this 419 is the best Formula offshore boat IMHO. Anyone interested in a project, I have it listed on Craig's list and Boat Trader.com
