Contact formula. They will send you a free catalog. Their catalog has a lot more stuff in it than there website does. You might even want to register yourself as being the new boat owner.

My First Formula was a 302 back in the mid 80's. Since then many boats, plus friends with other brands. We got tired of poor quality, terrible rides, lack of factory help. Recently bought a 336 SR-1. SOOOOO glad to be back at the top! I forgot how great these boats are and quite sure I will never buy another brand. Certainly not the fastest, but close and the quality build and luxury plus unbelievable ride make up for the few MPH difference and then some at the end of the day.

Formula Gear:
Lame is a good word, and often geared towards models of which I have no interest.
BUT there is a solution.
If it is for personal use, buy whatever you are looking for and take it to an Embroiderer, who will digitize the logo and embroider for you. Towels, hats, shirts, leather products.
I recently had the "Bird, FORMULA and Performance Boats" done with colors i wanted on a set of towels, shirts and carry bag. Also had a couple of plastic plates about 2 inches tall, 8 inches long - engraved to cover a couple of screw holes etc.

I talked to Formula about some better stuff. Fell on deaf ears. Made my own.

Default There might be hope for "Formula Gear" in the future...

I recently (two weeks ago) sent an email to Formula complaining about the lack of selection in "cool" or "trendy" clothing and accessories available on their website for us Formula fans to flaunt our passion for our boats. I EVEN made the comparison of how much more product is available for "Cigarette Racing" fans than for "FASTech Racing" fans... (!)

I was pleasantly surprised to get a nice response from Scott Smith @ Formula saying that he would forward my thoughts to their vice president of marketing. He was honest about the reality of anything happening anytime soon, due to the current economy and prioritizing the allocation of resources as they made their way though the recovery... but he DID go on to say that he's sure they will add new items as soon as it is viable to do so!

After reading Scott's response and really thinking about it... I guess having Formula make it through what has no doubt been their most financially challenging time, and be there for us in the future, is more important right now than having some new "Formula Gear".... Just ask Reggie!
