Formula Trivia Question
 

Let's see who knows their history. Many years ago John Adams,Formula's long time designer,formed a new company to build yachts,with Porter family involvement,but a separate company. I think maybe only a couple of boats were built when the the new Federal luxury tax killed the new venture. What was the name of the new boat? No prizes,this is a cheap contest :rolleyes: :drink: BTW,no Formula dealers are eligible unless no one answers,then Selpel can chime in :D

Ugh... Google failed me :(

No clue.

You can't Google it cause this was a long time ago :D The luxury tax was 1990,10% tax on any boat over 100K.Sunk a lot of dealers and builders. We were lucky,back then the boats we sold were way under that. :cool:

Re: Formula Trivia Question
 

We have winner :p Baron. Too bad the project died from controversial govt tactics (Google federal luxury tax) Baron could have been a contender in the market where the Formula Yachts are now :cool:
