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?

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.
