Yeah.............boy that sure looks trashed! LOL That's a fair asking price with 165-ish hours on the engines. Being somewhat of an expert on Formula redo (LOL), and having a 312 myself for a number of years.....it seems like it only needs a new sun pad skin, transom shower cap assembly, and some paint redo on the trailer. Stereo system as nice components for that year age.....Alpine V12 stuff is nice.
I saw the post last night that is now deleted.....not sure if that was in regards to this boat or that other boat mentioned. Good luck........looks like a nice 312!

Very Nice Boat
Thank you. It's a very nice boat, low hours. There is no question boat sat for along time and it was dirty, very dirty. It took about 70 hours to clean up, buff and change all fluids and filters but it came out great. Thank you to our head detailer who said it was his toughest challenge in 10 years here. Will make a great boat for someone. It needs some minor swim hatch repair, paint or leave trailer, transom shower cap on order and new cockpit cover on order.

The work shows nice and in part as I said before Formula builds well with top tier materials which endure the elements, last longer and make a come back possible.
I would still do a survey on any boat I buy to have paper and a scientific basis for a decision.

Personally I think the price is a tad high, but thats just me, IMO redo the sundeck to help,, again just my opinion, I almost bought the last 312 from you guys, can't say anything bad about the staff there at all, they even helped me out on another Formula they sold in the past with some records they dug up for me, did not have to do that,
Again Thanks!!
Again Thanks!!

Actually anyone who does engines knows its not that hard, a 1/4 extention and a small hammer, pop it sideways pull plug.... takes 3 seconds... at least thats how I do mine when doing engines....

[QUOTE=mrfixxall;3854251]right, I dont know either way what happened,just stating its easy to pop a freeze plug...then again, if it froze, popped a plug, was fixed and ran since then there is no issue either, thats what why they call them freeze plugs... 50,000 is still too much though when there are so many deals out there...
