I plan on getting a survey. I'm not too worried about the moisture. I plan on taking it all apart and maybe even running a dehumidifier. Then resealing everything.

From the outside there were no cracks, blisters or anything. The thru transom screws, ect look sealed well. The out drive was off all this winter so that may have helped. This guy is meticulous in caring for the boat and everything else he owns. I think it will work out, well see what the survey says.

As promised here are some pics. These are all I have as she is still under cover.

Welcome Emmett...you have found your virtual home!!

I bought a 1989 223SS back in September. You'll love the boat and take some comfort knowing you paid a lot less than I did for mine.

Nice Lookin boat. I too am a new formula owner and I love it!!

Same color scheme as my 86 - 272. I like the yellow trailer, looks nice. Should be updating my build thread later this week with all I have gotten done lately to the engine compartment.

Welcome to the club.

Thanks a lot everyone. I should be bringing her home tomorrow, if not it will be on or before Friday. Its killing me because my spare bedroom is full of the new VHF radio, stereo equipment, and all my stuff from the old boat that needs to be added too it.....just sitting there :(.

Very nice looking boat. Might be your first Formula but it won't be your last. I have had dozens of boats but I keep coming back to Formula. You just can't beat the quality and reliability for the price.
