Nice score. Respect the older Formulas.

My Uncle purchased the same exact model & same graphics new back in 88 (I believe that was the year), it was the first Formula I was ever on and feel in love with them ever since.

Good luck with her....

Nice find. Jealous just a little. 420's are good engines

Belated congratulations Jon. Here's hoping for many hours of trouble free boating. It's a shame you don't know anyone that can help with finding some new drives...:drink:

You are right about that, those 420s are strong. I sold my '88 357 with 420s last summer, and I had 790 hours on the engines, and they were still runnin strong.

Boat ran like a watch today! We got it to almost 70 (on the speedo). Only a few small issues to address. One of the water pick ups is leaking. Not sure if that is going to require a rebed to just seal it up or if the alluminum corroded were the stainless steel pipe threads into it. Belts need some work. The best news of all..... the wife LOVES the boat. :D
