Thought I'd share some pics of this little Formula One I just picked up. (local craigslist find) It's '84 Formula One (17') a buddy had one years back, always liked it as it was similar to a Donzi Classic with the molded cabin liner and snap out upholstery.
It's an original owner, fresh water off a small lake in New Hampshire. Merc 185 V6, 400 hrs. It had not been run since '96, spent several days cleaning and waking up the motor/drive etc and she fired right up. Got to clock 8 hrs on it before winterizing. Anyone else got one?

You want to do it this winter or early spring? It should fit in my garage!

Thought I'd post the progress on this little project. Spent a day buffing the entire boat with 3M restorer wax, she cleaned up way better than expected. Got the mechanicals squared away with new bellows, gimbal bearing, drive service/water pump, new starter, battery and full tune-up. Had a new hatch (teak from factory) made that's teak with holley inlay. The next step is a new stereo and she should be ready for the spring. Sure been a fun easy project. Here's a pic from last night.
