yea, the Mistress cabin was not meant for family use at all, most of the older boats will have rot, in a Formula your gonna wanna look real good at bulkhead under step, rear gas tank bulkhead and center stringer... and of course transom...

357 is my favorite boat from. Style point of view. However they are big and heavy. Formula designed the hull after the 38 cig hull and added way too much hook. It takes massive amounts of power to make the thing go worth a damn. It is better With the kaama setup.

Thanks Kaama302. I noticed the bow shape you mentioned. It also looks like there is more useable space in the cabin. What year is yours? did you ever update the throttle controls? Does your 302 have TRS drives?
and yes I like that flat deck look too

I like the 292, but little red has a good eye, valve covers are not original and something different about the thermostat housing if I`m not right I`m sure I`ll be corrected.
I would be a little concerned about the 357 with kid jumping off the back unless you get a big platform just my thoughts.
