Thanks for the kind words everyone!

ThirdBird - yea, I was a little hesitant on the "yellow" top... When my wife heard Formula offered this color (new for 2006) to go with the Barbados theme, she had to have it. Actually, I think it really does look unique and matches the yellow Imron accent colors nicely...

Prater - yes, it closes completely. I leave the back flapped open to get in and out. For bedtime we pull the stern in, board the boat, and button it up from the inside. The front and side curtains are clear (no screens) and the aft curtain has a large screen you can zip open.

I added a couple more pics. Notice the dew already forming on the deck at sundown. A cool front came through that night and the temperature fell into the mid-50's. Good thing we had plenty of firewood, and BEER! Wasn't bad until you strayed from the fire for a pee break... Once we got in the boat (2 adults and 2 little kids) we closed up the screen and the hatches. Stayed comfortable all night. Actually got a little toasty by early morning just from our body heat so I opened up the screen.

Very Nice. You'll enjoy Lake Erie as there is endless water and a lot of attractions.

So true kjm! I have boated on Lake Erie since I was a kid. First on an old wood Lyman, then my Dad bought a new Formula 20 CL in 1978 (he still has it). My parents had a summer home in Lakeside and they now spend the summer vacationing on their 32 Nordic Tug. Below are some pics we took last summer. Put in Bay, Kelly's Island, Cedar Point.... A lot of fun spots and one of the most beautiful places to boat in the country IMHO...

Saw this bad-boy in Put in Bay.... Wonder if it's anyone that frequents the OSO cig forum??

Congrats, She`s a beauty looks like it will be a great summer for you
