Cool MY First Formula 88' 223LS

I recently purchased my first Formula, it is a 1988 223LS. I love the boat but have many questions that I hope can be answered by you more experienced Formula owners.

1.) Where can I get a new boarding ladder for my swim platform?

2.) Where can I get the screw that holds the hing together for my hatch in the cuddy?

3) Any one have a clue how many gallons of gas this boat actually holds?

That should be enough for now but I have plenty more where those came from.

Mopower,
Thanks for the link, lots of info on my Boat.

88formula223,
I have the 7.4 merc with Bravo I out drive. The "Natural Grace" is light blue and white. I tried to upload a pic but this site said the file was to big. I have lots of little things that I would like to fix on her, just need to find a parts supply for Formula's.

Well I have tracked down most of the information I needed. Formula says that the ladder for the 88' 223 LS is obsolete, however they provided me with the drawings so that I can have a local machine shop build to spec. The hatch was made by Bomar Marine so I will have to go back to them for the hing screw.

You can mount one under the platform very easy, it`s on the left side now.

That's cool Masi242 but what did you do about the holes from the original ladder on the right side. Also I have the engineering drawing for the original ladder if anyone needs a copy to have one built.
