I agree....for the money this seems like the best option. Wish it had k planes but easier to add them than too swap out engines for bigger power. Hopefully it is nice in person....sent me some pics and looks pretty nice but seeing is believing.

wwolfe. Where do you do most of your boating? On Conesus? Don't think the trim tabs would be an issue then. Like in an earlier post, I wouldn't rule out a 353 if you can find a deal. Good luck in your search. Formula's are great boats.

Conesus is last resort but do spend some time there...spend most of the time on Canandaigua, Cayuga, Seneca, Keuka and Lake Ontario. Also usually couple trips a year up to Alexandria Bay. I was pretty fortunate this year and did not get into a lot of rough water until we went up to Alex Bay on the St Lawrence and my 272 with tabs held its own. Given weight of Formula, think it will not be that bad...but can always upgrade too if not satisfied

Looks like we boat in the same places. We go to Conesus once a year on July 3rd. Gotta love those fireworks. Actually from Honeoye so were not that far from you. Good luck in your search.

we gotta get gathering together next year, Lotta Formula's here in Buff Ive always wanted to start a renduvous

I need to purchase mine first....but would be in all for that!

DBA1062 - Is your Formula yellow ad black?

There is a much cheaper alternative...Bennett has a longer tab 12x16 that can be trimmed off by a machine shop to clear the drives. You simply remove the 12x12's and use the Bennett installation thats already there. But hey, if you want to spend five grand for the "K"s, go for it.

wwolfe. No it is euro gray, blue and gray striping. The euro gray is where the white is normally. I haven't figured out how to post a picture on here yet.

88242ls. Would love to come up to Buffalo. Never been there to boat.

its a great place to boat
