CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I saw that pop up, one of my favorite imron designs with rare yellow that I love on that era formula's and I think you got a great deal even if you didn't beat him up, wish I knew you were looking for the palm beach edition there's one locally on craigs for 17k

i love the yellow now...i stole this one at 12 went with the 454's for the kpanes and bravo drives....anything i should look out for with the bravo 1's ive only owned alphas

nope, just take care of them and pay someone for your impellers:evilb:

Absolutely beautiful Formula. Exactly what I want for the next one!

It is deals like this that really piss me off at how dumb I am. I got a lemon and am sitting at 12k right now and it is still not back together! Arghhhhh!!!!!! And I still have Alphas! And painted seats.... Uhg.


Happy for you though..... :party-smiley-004:

Looks like nu-teak synthetic decking

I can't remember the name of it but you can see an advertisement with different designs in any power boat magazine. you send them a template and they send you a pad that is exactly what you want.

It's called SeaDek.

Nice boat, Congrats!

I am trying to get the 272 back together. bought a lemon that needed some cleaning. I new better at the price, but just not how bad.

Two motors to include long blocks, intakes, flywheels, alternator, thermostats and housings, spark plugs, wires and exhaust risers. New transom assemblies, new outdrives, new props. Needs another battery, new engine hatch cover, new center stringer, new engine bay bulk head, new cabin bulk head and some stringers replaced. Replaced or refinished most of the vinyl in the cockpit, rebuilt the seats as the wood fasteners had rusted out, replaced some wiring and had no radio at all. Ripped out the old cabin, everything! replacing the floor carpet and dramatically changing the interior seating arrangements. Needs two panels put back in the side windshield and various things tightened up. Paint on the sides looks OK, but the bottom has been bottom painted several times and the deck is very oxidized. Trailer rollers are not in the right spot, so moving those. replaced the brakes, turned drums, new bolts and bushings in all the suspension points, new hitch coupler, four new fenders, three new tires and new paint.

Off the top of my head, that is about it.

Oh, painted the bilge and added LED lighting also, looks nice now.

Brian (after typing all that, I think I hate you now!) :party-smiley-004:

Absolutely nice. A modern Classic, as only 272 (242)ls can be.

Agreed...except don't forget the 255...
