Yeah the motors only have 16 hours on them, he had them put in last year and didn't use the boat much cause he bought a 28 Eliminator that does 95mph so the boat didn't get much use the motors are still under warrenty for another 6-7 months.....

Welcome, Congratulations on the your new Formula. Where do you live? The Chesapeake is a big bay, where abouts do you do your boating?
