Re: How many Formula`s have you owned ?
Our boats are constructed with an offshore mindset, although we don't build them on the water we have the midwestern work ethic which is the driving force in our quality and craftsmanship.
We do go to Florida a lot where we have a couple of boats that we test. The Porters have vacation homes there where we keep a couple of boats to test and run. We also keep a boat on Lake Michigan and we'll take boats on vacations elsewhere. So we do get some rough water testing in. Like you said all boats are going to break, but each year we improve. If you have any suggestions I would be more than happy to hear them.
I just want to say thank you for the warm welcomes and kind remarks, I will probably be on here way too much not getting any work done. I guess for "selpel" and "Magicfloat" if your coming in November I'll probably see you then. So take care and good luck in your selling.

If it came to a decesion between a 1989 311 or a 1993 336 most performance guys would choose your 311!!
Thanks selpel ....while we are "spreadin the Love" Here .. Daryl Johnson at Formula have ALWAYS come thru with info needed ... 17 year old boat ...cant beat that ....m

closed the deal on the 34 PC. Pick her up at 1:00 PM Saturday for the cruise up the bay to home port. 
BTW, welcome Jeremy, its great to have the Porter Family present on the board. No better way to get feedback right to the ownership. Congrats

Formula builds a great boat, but the best thing of all is the reputation they have built over the years
