My wife and I are getting a little more serious on purchasing a 382 Formula. Last fall I found a 1999 Formula 382 with 500’s (around 300hrs) located in NJ I believe, the boat had everything we wanted (vacu-flush, ac/heat, gen) for $55,000. I spoke to the seller a couple of times but at that time my funds where tied up in building a new garage. Now that we started looking again I can not find another Formula that comes close to that price. Was that a deal of a life time or are sellers’ just asking unrealistic prices?

Yes that was a great price and I think it was a little low for that year boat. You never know what the market will bring in the spring good luck!!!!

Thanks but that's a little discouraging.

$55K for a 382 is a crazy low price. Thats a low 292 price, and not long ago, it was a 271 price.

If you do I have something in mind Dave let me know. I am leaning towards a 353 but Jaime likes the 382, I think I can talk her into a 35 if the price is right.
