Re: 118 mph Formula 382
What about putting some asd-7,there is another Formula with a set on and from what Rik told me the set up sounds familar to yours, blower motors. A little over 100 hours and not a problem. Jeff
BTW, that boats paint job looks awesome, very clean, very classy. :cool: |

Re: 118 mph Formula 382
Love the Formula so don't get me wrong but with that power it really should be going a lot faster. For example in the lastest Hotboat mag I saw the 382 (38') Formula went 81mph with twin Merc 600's. The same day same test the 42 Fountain with twin Merc HP525's went 84mph. The test article specs show both boats cruise at 4000rpm at about the same speed. A 42 Fountain with 600's will run 100+. What would a 38 Cigarette with 525's and 600's run? I guess around 85 with the 525's and 93 with the 600's?
I know with twin 525's the 382 Formula goes around 78mph so compare that to other 38+ foot boats. |

The 42 Fountain has more length than the 38 Formula. The Formula has a huge swim platform too. At the water line the Fountain is a good 3-4 feet longer.
Slow does not mean smoother ride. |
