Boatman302, Are you from the Left Coast? I sold my 357 Kamma package to a guy in California. Just wondering if there was a connection? I had 454's/450hp's. It did 67GPS with chop. I know he installed big power after I sold it to him. Just wondering. Thanks

hey Killer wish I new last week, I was in the area and would have peeked at it for you. I'm not an expert but I don't think the steel braided fuel line is CG approved, is that a marine carb? Formula is one of only 2 boats I'd buy from the mid 80's, just sold my 311 last year

(put your real first name in your signature!)

CMG well thats usually my luck a day late and a dollar short. Good question on the hose I don't know and I'm a Earls freak have the stuff all over my car. I am going to take a look at it next Saturday Ill have to check the carbs.

Perfectmix thanks for the welcome

I did a quick search and found this

TO COMPLY WITH THE LAW

Is the hose marked?
Does the marking contain all the following?
“USCG Type A1, A2, B1, or B2"
Year of hose manufacture
Manufacturer’s name or trademark
Are all the letters and numerals at least one-eighth inch high? and
Are the markings permanent?
Legible?
In the English language?
On the outside of the hose?
Are the marking intervals on the hose 12-inches or less?

I did not find any USCG specs or approvals on the three braided line manufactures sites I checked

best to remove, the CG doing an inspection would be the least of your worries - just imagine an insurance company after a fire claim or something close! Their first goal is to find a way to get out of a claim and that would pretty much do it. (you'll have to get a survey for insurance any ways, it would appear as a line item to be fixed prior to insurance)

best of luck

The survey should let you know if it is up to spec. on lines, carbs, etc. for coast guard.

If I like it I plan on getting a survay done. Any one know of any good surveyors in the area.

If you're still looking for a 357 then check out mine in the Swap Shop. I have more pics and did a survey on it when i bought it just over 2 years ago. Mine is not perfect but definitely priced to sell now. If the boat was in Florida it would already be sold. I've had a lot of interest but getting someone to come and see it has been an issue.

Where are you located?

I'm asking $29,000 for mine with the aluminum triple axle trailer. Here is a link:
