I have read all your notes.I have to say what a great job you have done.Many hours of hard work.I have a 1991 292 with 502s that have been worked.I put imco steering and alum swim platform this past year,rebuilt both engines.I can appreciate the hard work you have done.My hats off to you...

Hats off to another completed Project Boat on the Formula forum! Glad it all worked out for you, and it's good to see another Volvo Penta boat out there. I'll trade 2 mph on top end for better cruise efficiency, dockside control and reliability any day.

Now we need to organize a "Project Boat" rally for 2009.

By the way - The DP drive fits a Bravo cutout the last time I checked.

Thanks! Its been a long hard road, and its not quite finished, but it feels good to be on the water. Lot more fun to work on now than before. Just need the warm weather to hang around so I can get some more late season boating in. Still really wanting to try some bigger props before the seasons over, but no luck yet. I tried to have a buddy take some pics of me and the boat out running hard, but not sure how they came out. Thanks to everyone for the support.

Show some pics. How does it perform with the 502's? how many horses they pushin? more info!

Just found this thread. Incredible! I was on the river last Saturday. Were you out? I would love to see this boat in person. Congrats on the project!!!

Saturday I was stuck working, but was out Sunday. Cruised up past henry and back, and then downtown for a bit. Will probably head out again this weekend as it may be the last time this year (at least on this boat). Your welcome to stop by and check it out anytime, just shoot me a pm.

Formula 292 W, 502s
