About this whole Formula Liberator thing.... did Fromula sell the rights to the Liberator name to Four Winns? Did Formula sell the molds to Four Winns?
Maybe there's no connection but I've always wondered. |

To me they were just a four winns sundowner models with a set back windshield, a rear bench seat and thru hull exhaust- nothing special.

I wouldn't call a 4W Lib, "nothing special." They are great riding, well built sport boats, even by today's standards. Just like a Formula, I'd take an older, well maintained Liberator over a lot of the newer stuff out there today costing way more. A Sea Ray Pachanga is another one I'd add to that list.

Never did I say a Lib is a Formula. However, I've always liked the Libs I've come across. All good, man.
