Will it run 60?? This boat is immaculate for it's age and he will probably buy it regardless we just do not know much about the ealier Formulas.
Thanks for any imput.

CFD12 - You firend should check out my 357 in the Swap Shop section. It's a whole lot faster than 60 (more like 75). It looks and runs fantastic. Needs a little TLC (port motor has an oil leak - stuff like that). But, I am needing to let it go so it's a bargain. Here is a link:

I have a bunch more pics and details. Please share with you friend and let me know if interested.
Thank you,

That is a very nice boat but he (my brother) has his mind set on this one. Blower motors are a no no
Funny thing is he wasn't even looking at boats until we got inot this one. It has new(er) 502's new bravos and gimbals, new paint, vinyl is in great shape. I was shocked when I heard it's age.

The guy with the Hummer is my next door neighbor Toyota dealer who was A Hummer dealer when that boat was new. We did some PR photos on the tow ability of the H-1.Interesting off topic story,when GM bought Hummer and introduced the H-2,they canceled my neighbor,he sued GM and reached an out of court settlement that had so many #'s after the $ sign that he retired,is building 2 new mansions,bought a 55'yacht ,a Ferrari, and lots of other stuff. Moral of the story,don't mess with a small Alabama redneck car dealer unless you are ready to pay dearly.

400SS with the new 350 hp Volvo diesels. (Don't laugh unless you've ridden on one...)
I love my 382, though...

I've had a 272, 357 (Kaamas) and a 382, and I think the 382 is better than the others, hands-down.
Much better/stronger built.
IMO
