If anybody has a Formula that they are not satisfied with, PM me.
I will take the horrible boat off of your hands as a service.

272s and larger will be considered.

I like what they got now....just maybe a little graphics tweakin and some monsters on the dash.
And maybe bring back the 419 in a stagger option.

Yeah formulas are great boats!!

Very good ride and everything. I agree with basically everyone above.

But I do agree that they should change the graphics to something that appeals more to the eye... They should also include some sweet dash graphics, but who knows. You can only wait and see.

As an owner of a '99 271 Fastech, I would not change a thing. If you do not like the graphics, get it white and put your own on (right Cspray). Same could be done with the dash.

I have tailored mine to my needs over the years, but all the changes were something that made the boat fit my specific boating requirements better, not something that any boat builder could do. Heck, most of the things I did not think of until I had it a several summers.

1 thing for sure. I can always count on this website to break me out of the workday humdrum. i'm laughin my a$$ off right now.....

Yeah I realize that, but some things could be changed and be more graphicy <--if thats even a word. However, everyone has there own opinions, and I am not complaining about the graphics, I just think they should change them around a little.

When people ask about changes in a hull they are talking about paint?

Teague/Tomlinson said it best when they recently tested a '05 382 with 575Sci;

"What we've always liked about the 382 is that the boat represents a complete package, perhaps the most complete package of its kind. It's not a purpose-built go-fast boat that does one thing - go fast - well. But it is a well-built boat that offers strong performance and features just about everyone can appreciate."

"Top speed for the 38 footer was 81.1 with the engines turning 5300 rpm. Sure, there are like-size boats that will go faster on the same power, but few, if any, weigh in at 10,450 pounds."

That being said, I have an '89 F311 that I love. True enough, it's not as fast as some of my buddies with equal or less power, but they would really rather not follow me into the soup when a squall blows up. Awesome all-around boat.

I'm not all that impressed with the recent graphics either, but as was stated earlier, if you want something different, buy it white and have some custom paint or vinyl applied.
