1984 Formula One, fun little boat!
 

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?

BTW, I'm looking for an original tach, square bezel. Also, any sources for the Formula logo and stripe kit?

Thanks,

Kurt

Familiar with them and have a bit of seat time in one. Was looking for an '84 before I went with my Power Play(Powerquest) 185 for a knock around small boat. Boat is typical Formula. Handles more than you would expect GREAT build quality for a small boat. Fiberglass Liner/Floor (nice touch for a small boat of that age) and needs more power! haha. 220hp Merc 4.3 gets that boat moving. 350 is about all I would ever want in one. Cool little boats

These guys can probably get you what you need for the logo (which were vinyl back then I am pretty sure)

I think for the tach you just have to keep your eyes peeled on eBay or Maybe give Great Lakes Skipper a call and see if they have one. I know they have the matching speedo style to what you are looking for.

I have the tach you are looking for!!

A little compound and wax in the spring and your all set, a little cheaper than running the Cig around:drink:

Great little ride good luck

PM sent!

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm looking forward to the clean up!

I can set you up with some decals for a really cheap price!! Let me know what you need!

Great, thinking about stripping off all decals/stripes and wet sanding/buffing the hulll sides. Can you do a a stripe kit too?

Thanks,

Kurt

Sure can!

Something similar to what's on it now or something different?
