he hates that color just messing

LOL! Hahahahaha. Not my first choice anyway. I actually spoke with the owner of that boat a few weeks ago. It sounds like a nice peice. Owner seemed to be a down to earth guy as well.

Also, thanks to budd for the heads up.

Don't worry my wife didn't like it either, be patient, yes its out there

Nice video of Formula 89 Boats

Love the 272 in it hahahahaha

LOL...Gee, I wonder why? Evidently Formula was proud of it too, back in '89! Do YOU have the matching striped polo shirt that studley is wearing in the video? hahaha...just messing with ya.
It is pretty cool to see your boat in their original video! Thanks for sharing it.

OK....the color is starting to grow on me....a little.

My favorite color combo on these 272's is the red Imron painted hull and graphics from the 1987 model year. As luck would have I located one in northern IL for sale. After a lengthy phone call with the seller I ran up to check it out. Unfortunately, I returned again empty handed.
Both drives wearing along with I believe it would be the gimbal ring from side to side play. Sea water inlet hoses from drive up through gimbal area cracked and actually leaking. About 10 foot long and 2 inches wide area of the bow at the keel worn completely through and into the glass from beaching the boat. Bulkhead behind fuel tank from center stringer to port stringer was delaminated and glass broken through exposing wood (seller said he was "checking with a ball pein hammer")...ooof....bulkhead wood was soft. Both motors were quite wet with oil on the bottoms (pan areas). Deck stripes were worn through from buffing and or sun fading. Their were also a lot of petty things that really needed correcting as well.
A little too much for me to mess with anyway. So, the search continues. It's got to be "out there" I know it.

It is PATIENCE!!!!!! was that the darker red one?

Yeah that sounds right... it's like a burgundy. Cabin cushions are also burgundy. Darker red, white and black accents on gray cockpit upholstery. It's a rich combination.
I'll try my hand at uploading a pic, just for grins.
