That things been on there for a little while, looks like a nice gentlemans cruiser; can anyone attest to the structural integrity/build quality?

That is the old Formula 32 by Thunderbird. It was built, along with a pop of the Formula 233 by ex-sales manager, Stu Jackson in St. from about '77 to 81. Good boat, good guy.

It was also called Maxim for some dealers. Someone mentioned Cary for this boat. When I was at Cary, I borrowed the deck mold from them (Thunderbird) to build a couple of boats while we were building a fish-type deck mold for the famous Cary/Cigarette

i have to agree with you h20 that its a 31 maxim there was one down the street from me a couple of years ago, my fathers friend owned a 24 maxim in the early 70s with straight sixes 165hp looked exactly like a formula, it was called sneaky pete and it raced out of point pleasant n.j.
Sneaky Pete was my Uncle's boat and he raced it with my dad
