In 1962, Don Aronow had a vision; create and manufacture the premier performance boat. His first endeavor became known as Formula Powerboats and he built the 233 Deep-V which later earned notable victories in the national offshore racing circuit. While Don had moved on to grow and sell several high performance companies, the Formula tradition continues on with his original vision. The Porter family has kept the legend alive by continuing to strive for performance perfection, something that Don would be proud of today. In addition to the current Fas3tech line of boats, Formula also offers Bowriders, Sun Sports, Super Sports, Cruisers, and Yachts to meet the needs and desires of every boating enthusiast.

Ted Porter, vice president of Formula Powerboats, is proud to announce the formation of a new team to compete on the Offshore Powerboat Association Series presented by GEICO. After consulting with Ray Pusillo of ‘Affiliated Resources’ a powerboat racing promotions and sponsorship agency, the concept of getting Formula Boats back in the mix was conceived, Ray proposed that TnT Racing, is the best candidate for the new alliance.

This new team, named “Formulaboats.com”, will utilize the 382 Formula Fas3tech, which has several national and world titles on its resume. Tabbed to be in the cockpit are Scott O’Connor of Bradenton, FL and Trent Weyant of Palm Coast, FL. both from TnT Racing. In addition to the resume of the 382 Formula Fas3tech, Scott and Trent bring several national and world titles to the team as well as achieving the first ever Triple Crown, obtained by winning the Florida, National, and World Championship in the same season.

Ted, also the president of Precision Performance Engineering (PPE), is joining forces with Trent Weyant and TnT Racing, adding the offshore team to compliment his highly successful U-5 and U-7 H1 Unlimited Hydroplane teams. Highlights include winning the 2006 ABRA National High Points Championship and the 2009 Oryx Cup UIM World Championship.

Everyone involved is looking forward to showcasing the Fas3tech technology as well as continue the winning tradition and add to the legacy of Formula Powerboats.

good to know! Formula are known for great boats, maybe not as much for fast boats, that might change !

They are certainly known for a great looking, handling family performance boat with lots of room in the cockpit, cabin and for comfort.

Raced for Formula back in 2000 the Porter family are top notch. The 38' fast tech may not be the fastest in the flat but will be hard to beat in big water. Congradulation to TNT. Welcome back Mr Porter. Jo

Could someone tell me why Formula did not contact any of the f2 teams that suported Formula and raced all over the country and paid over $200.000 for these boats! Teams like Total Marine F2 32, Moral Hazard F2 42, and others that still have there raceboats. Even Treadwell Motorsports 2000 World & National Champion with Eric Treadwell and Jack Stoerlle ( RIP Jack we all miss you). I was in ocean city and saw the new team in action and was disapointed. I am sure these are good racers and just need some time to get it together but when you are being sponsor by one of the best boatbuilders in the country you need to have it all together before showing up. I am sure Scott Porter would appreciate that. Howard Richardson F2 19
