Looking
 

Hey some of you know me from SW, however I notice there are alotta non SW members here along with names Ive never seen on the Formula forum, I am looking for a 88~92 242 with bolsters, and the other option is a 87~92 272, but price must be right, also early 271, again price must be right, thanks
please email me at [email protected]
STILL LOOKING:(

sam

what is the right price ? I have a 87 272 85 hrs on new power:D

I may have to sell my '89 292 w/502 EFIs [210 hrs], Imco full hydraulic. New Bravo Ones in '03 plus labbed 4-blade Bravo Ones 26P. Drive showers, K-planes, 1000watt stereo, transom shower, etc. The right price would be 35k

Griz my colors my imron design, wrong (for me) price. 382 I am at low 20's on another 272 right now, and I would have to be near that, there are a cpl more 272's I like, but price is wrong, everyday I start out wanting a 272, bye the end of the day I drive bye a gas station and start questioning myself again:(

No problem 88242LS, I hate the thought of selling her. I'm going to try my best not to. With the '98 EFIs she runs like a bat-out-of-hell. She's my favorite boat up to now, but momma-Donna thinks we may have to go to a cruiser because of her recent back injury. God help me. :cool:

Did you see this 242 with twin 350s?

http://powerboatlistings.com/view/3772

Yes I did, even considrred it but twins is twins and if its twins it might as well be a 272,:D

Sam interested in a '84 302 SR1 ?...Jim

That would be perfect for me now. My 302 is really too big for the type boating we do now. I loved my 242, but it was too small when we lived on the other coast. Also, I didn't like the fact it did not have bolsters. Too bad I'm a broke dik mfr, or I'd be all over this one.

Thanks, but I don't know enough about the kamma drives, where do u boat? right off lyndonville?

I took some pictures if my 1993 271. If you want to see them you can private me your email address.

hmm,, [email protected] price? what kinda work?

Yes and pts. east,but have not had much time to use it in last 2yrs due to work.

You don't need to know anything about them. I've had them nearly four years, and all I've done is change the oil.

email sent, if you dont get it please let me know!

got it sent reply, thanks

:D :D
Atta boy Cuda. Honestly though, Cuda is quite open with his his trials and tribulations. Haven't seen too much bad on the 302 other than regular maintainance that we all need to do. Looks like like a nice boat to me.



NO, never met Cuda in my life. And NO. I get nothing if he sells. Actaully, I'm quite surprised that boat hasen't sold already.

Sam,

I am selling my 88 272 that you are familiar with. Price is within your range. LEt me know if interested. I just got boat out of storage 2 days ago. I am 20 minutes from you. Let me know if you want to see it.

Lou

still looking guys

How about an 86 242 with a 421" small block. Dart block and heads. Steel crank and rods. GIL exhaust. Less than 100 hours on motor. $15,000. Located in New Jersey.

thanks jrm but must be 88 or newer, I want it to have a bravo and in 87 they refined them and look nicer "to me" anyways but had alpha's so i'm gonna stick with 88~up, Lou just outta curiousity what would you want for that boat?

This hurts. This is the first time i've said I'd sell my 311. 32K on a trailer. Nice boat ... I looked forever before I bought it.

Call me, I have a friend who might be interested in your boat. Give me all the details

Sam:

Not sure but I need to decide quick. Otherwise, I'll be missing out on prime time. Just got boat back from being summerized. Just had sunpad redone and had new mirrors made up for engine compartment. Needs a few other things done to it. Will sell boat for less if you don't want anything else done or will sell boat with everything fixed. I'll be around all holiday weekend; cleaning the boat and, hopefully taking it out. Feel free to give me a call and to come down and take a look. I am only about 20 minutes from you. No big deal if you are not interested. I wouldn't mind asking you some ?'s about the boat even if you are not interested. Call me any time on my cell. 716-982-7288. Looking forward to hearing from you. If not, enjoy your holiday weekend.

anyone seen/heard of anything??

I'd be all over Inman's boat if it has big blocks and I didn't already have a bird! Awesome color combo too...
Have you looked at his boat yet?
20 minutes away? At the very least, check out the boat to compare while shopping around.
Sounds like he wants to work something out in your budget.

What is your price range?

This 1989 272 is near me:

http://www.thesaltydog.com/search/viewListing49891.aspx

I looked at this 1987 272 last year when it was with a different broker:

http://www.yachtworld.com/core/listi..._id=63770&url=

When searching the classifieds sometimes they get the year or length incorrect.

This 272 is listed as a 2006 model:

http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/6/5/89014065.htm

Chuck thanks for the links keep them coming Ive checked all of them out, except the 87/06:p the one on the lift is too much for a 87, the other one is beat, I have a cpl good links on 272's, honestly I was hoping another 242 with bolsters would pop up, well see, but appreciate all the links
sam

I had a 89 242LS with a 454LS and bolsters, great boat, but could have used another 50-100hp. A 242LS with bolsters and a 502 magnum would be they way to go if you can find one. :drink:

I like the color scheme on this 272

Thanks BB, I've looked at it B~4, to much cash for the hours, plus no trailer plus most importantly no bolster, yes this is a requirement:D part of the reason we sold our 242, Thanks thou, I figure one has to be hideing here in the great lakes somewhere:rolleyes:

This 271 was recently reduced to $30K.

Broker with Lakeport landing emailed me to say they are getting in another 272...this one has a trailer...

Not on their website yet though

hmm thanks

Well the boat I was going for tomorow got sold:mad: so still looking

Come take a look at my 292. Lift and boat house kept since new. Clean original Formula Vinyl with nice bolsters. Trouble free stock 365HP Magnum big blocks with Stainless Marine. Many upgrades. I am the second owner. Just across the TI bridge in Kingston.

I am open to offers. I just bought a 42 Sonic so the Formula needs to be sold.

292 Sounds Real nice and I would love a 292, email me direct at [email protected] with a cpl pics

keep looking your doing the right thing, you will soon find the right boat. It`s just getting harder to find a nice 242 or 272 in good condition.

Wish list

more power

better drive

more money
