Here is a mid 80's

I love my `87

Awesome boat! I'm puttin' Stainless Marine exhaust on mine this week!

I miss my 357. She now lives in Cali. and new new owner loves it just as much. Formulas are timeless.

I love my old 311 too. But, make no mistake, there is a lot of wood in these old sleds. Stringers, seat bases, cockpit sole, bulkheads, etc. Just ask Offthefront about wood and rot.

The thing is, Formula built them fairly well so as not to have too many rot issues. But, issues are out there and we need to keep a keen eye out for signs of degradation so we can catch it before we have to totally rebuild the thing.

Not trying to take the wind out of your sails Dude. Just don't want you to be uninformed. You've bought the one of the best that was available at that time.

This is my second Formula and am nothing but impressed by the quality of their product.

This is my first Formula, its badged a 1990 242 Sunsport, but i guess it was manufactured in 1989.

Excellent build quality and a timeless shape.

I bought the boat with this windsheild mopower.

87 272 :d
