Default Beware of the 2000 312 Formula Sudden Change

Low hours, but the boat was stored for years outdoors, and very poorly. Freeze plugs were pushed out on both engines. Skipper Buds had it on consignment 2 months ago for 15k.

I have pics of the condition.

15k for a 312 that has been beat on by the enviroment could be a money pit. What did the interior look like? Motrs and go or gut and start over?

Where's the pics? Is it still for sale or are you just letting everyone know for when it comes back up for sale?

Even beat up from the elements, wouldn't that be a steal for 15k? I have not had one of these boats that long, but i have had many boats. Even if both motors needed rebuild i think you would still be ahead of the game.

The pic claiming it is getting detailed shows rust sign of long weather exposure. My guess is Pier57 fixed it to flip it. Since Formula has a fiberglass linered cockpit it can hold up to a lot more weather than a wood floor boat. That doesn't mean it is impervious to weather damage but a good build helps a lot.

Maybe it is a deal but only a survey would tell.
