Hey Thanks Don, I was talking with 88242LS (89 Donzi) on speedwakes. He said I might find you over here. I picked up your old 242 in the spring from the dealer. It's now up in Vancouver BC. The boat has been awesome. You did a great job of care and maintenance. Some days I feel guilty for using it in salt water - sorry man, but I’m taking care of her. Hope your 292 is working out.

Hi What kind of propeller did you have on it?? What was the rpm at full throtle?I have a 242 SS with 454 330 hp with a Mirage 17P. Justbought a Mirage 21P, no time to test it ,because out of season here in Norway. Most people have told me that the 21P is thebest choice, but latly i have been told by a couple of Formulaowners that the 21P is to big for my set up.Any thoughs about that??regardsfrom oslo, Norway

Captn...What a small world! So glad you are enjoying the 242 I don't think anything, including salt water, could harm the girl. If you've got any pics of her, we would like to see her happy in her new home!

We have been out of the water for about a month now, and are finally realizing that we won't be floating for several months. We went out every weekend and put over 100 hours on the Formulator...we visited four new lakes, attended a poker run and a rendevous and finished off the season at a Topless Beach Party at Vantage wa ... Even though it's a withdrawl...we can handle a few months of dreaming before the ice melts!

The attached is the beginning of our season... shelley (wife) is working on a new video of the end of our season...
