Maybe someone with a better memory than I can add details.

I didn't buy a red one. I think the 95 and 96 were both given to the 500 winner,maybe one of those drivers had the Ford connection. I can't remember what I had for dinner last night,so it's hard to remember boats I bought 10 years ago,even tho I try:D

I'll include a pic of a '95 and a '96 since the pic of the '97 helped eliminate that one. |
Pretty sure it was the 95 boat,now that I think about it.Seems like Formula built a blank boat for the race team to install one of their engines. That might explain why it sat for a while. Someone out there knows the story.

There was a 95 Indy boat for sale over in Tampa about 3 years ago that I looked at,,,it was pretty rough and the dealer that had it for sale wanted premo money for it, the only thing Indy left on the boat was the graphics.

Gotta bump this thread back up because I just bought a 95 Formula 271 Indy. Almost everything is original and in really good shape considering its age. I can put up some better pictures when I get it home and shined up. Only thing it needs IMO is a nice stereo, upgrade the look of the dash, and some personal touches. http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l2...ps8acd7ea5.jpg

Neat boat!
|
Is the 502 painted purple?
|
Yep, just needs to be touched up. Box full of matching paint comes with it.

I test drove a '95 271 Indy in 2002 at LOTO. Glen Cove had the boat. Had been owned by a guy in IL. who traded it in. Where did this boat come from?
