I am amazed at the wiring on my 93, not sure whats up with yours possibly the way thing are now? possibly the installer was hung over?? I am on my second Formula 88 & 93 and have used Formula direct on several things on each boat. each time I was amazed at how I was treated being the fact that I was buying these old of boats, I had the feeling of just buying a new one.. sounds like your dealer is shafting ya which I find hard to believe any dealer would refuse work these days

I find the build quality was better on my 2003 382

I will admit that the quality was better as far as the wiring goes on my 02 292 than it is on my 04 27pc, everything works fine, just not as clean a job as my previous Formula's. As far as wiring quality the cleanest boat wiring was in my 1997 DCB 24 Extreme, truly a precision job. Looked military, wire tied/supported every 2 inches, wire ties all turned in the same direction, precision cut .

over the last 8 yrs and 2 Fastech's later, any problems I have had always called Formula first cause my dealer was horrible, Kerry Davis at Formula is just a great guy, with alot of knowledge, he has always responed quickly and helped me out, in my book he is the best !!, either call him directly or e-mail [email protected], I am sure he will respond quickly.........

I actually just got off the phone with Formula. They are going to fix all the problems and make it right.
You were right the local dealer was the one that was hesitant on taking on the job for the cabinet, laminate and interior work so they just said Formula will not fix anything.
Thanks for your advice. Next time i will contact the manufacture directly

Glad to hear the good news.... I would have been shocked if Formula did not take care of you.
Now on the hand, I sure hope Formula comes down on their dealer for such crappy representation of service. Did you tell the dealer that Formula is going to take care of everything?
