Happy New Year to All My Formula Buddies!!!!
Hey guys happy new year!!! Hope you all had a safe and happy holiday. To a TROUBLE free year for all of us. ESPECIALLY ME!!!! Anyone have any plans for thier boats for the new year?
I am putting in a new motor on one side (stock) and working on a custom dash layout. All new Gaffrig Guages and Throttles. Should keep me bussy. Of course it is so damn cold I can not work on the thing!!!

Happy New Year to you too Audiofn.
I just had my ECM reprogrammed by Energized Fuel Injection and I'm changing the stock flame arrestor to the K&N on my 502. I'll see how this upgrade works and reprop from there. I have a Hydromotive Q-IV I picked up that I only tried once before I put the boat up for the winter. Anybody else out there doing any upgrades on 502's this winter?

Happy New Year to all you cats, too! I got a chance to tour the Formula factory on December 20th, and all I can say is WOW! It's easy to see why the boats are so nice - there is A LOT of pride in the workforce there. They had my name on the greeting board, and Scott Porter spent quite a bit of time talking with me. What - a - class - act.
I even got to meet the (in)famous BoilerDaddy who sorted me out with a couple of T-shirts, and got the bits to add a water inlet to my boat. Oh - and you should SEE the size of the upcoming 47PC!!!
New for 2002? Starboard engine repaired and re-installed (rocker arm bearing exploded), a Grand Tour of Chesapeake Bay, and maybe a color chartplotter (depends on what I see in Miami). I just hope gas stays cheap....

Happy New Year to you all also !!
Sorry, I'm so late, but "I've been away" from OSO for awhile. I hope I'm back to stay, however sometimes business demands us to actually work !!
I am looking at possibly upgrading to a 95 303 SR1, provided some issues can be worked out, not to mention the price. But, I do have high hopes.
Hope everyone has a great year!

Uh, hey, C-Spray...We noticed some towels missing from the office restrooms the evening of the 20th. You wouldn't have any ideas of where....?
Nah. Never mind.

Boilerdaddy - I don't know anything about the towels. Please don't ask me about the missing jackets, 382 F2 boat, and 419 FasTech either....

Happy new year guys,
Troutly, are you or any other formula guys going to do Smoke on the Water, I've got my entry in but was kind of curious how many of the formula guys from the board are going to be there.
