New here, bought my first Formula
 

Hello everyone just saying hello. I am new to this forum as I am purchasing my first Formula. This will be my third boat I had a 15' Tri hull, a 1986 21' Searay Seville.

Now on my fifth year of boating I have purchased a 1989 Formula 223. This boat is like brand new, no fading, oxidation, or cracks anywhere. Its yellow, black and grey. I cannot wait to pick it up and start the season. I will be bringing it home early this coming week. It has a 454/330hp in it with the silent thunder exhaust, which will be being "fixed" after doing some research.

I cant wait to learn and post some of the upgrades I have planned.

Congrats . . . got any pics?

Congratulations, Welcome to the team, I'm sure you will love it, I gonna go out on a limb and assume its the one on Detroit craigs

Which it is VERY sharp, I love the yellow on the Formula's from that gen

That's the one. She is in perfect shape. I'll try ad get some pics up tonight or tomorrow. I don't have many good ones yet. But the whole boat looks like it came off the showroom floor. Out drive is going on Monday or tues then were gonna run it. All I have to do is put a better radio and speakers in it ;). Gonna be great.

Welcome!! Another great looking bird to the Formula forum. :coolcowboy:
