The couches look like they should open from the top seems like there would be lots of storage under there but I can't figure out how to open them!!

You can see some wonderful details in my rebuild thread on the center stringer, both front and rear fuel tank bulkheads and the forward stringers. Under the formula section, just sort by replies or views and you will find my thread on the first page.
Pictures: Open a photobucket.com account. Upload them there. Once uploaded there, click on the image link and paste it in your message. Will show up if you preview the message.
Good luck, Brian

On my formula (different boat I know) with my 23 and 1.5:1 I am running about 52gps at 4000 so I assumed either tachs off or speed was off the speedo.
I look forward to seeing some pics, I love the old formulas...

4000 rpm running 23p 3 blade Quicksilver SS cleavers. Gps and speedometer have been off and on within 2mph up to 45 cruising. Did not gps the 57mph will have to wait till summer to try that again! But tachs still won't go above 4000 when running wot ! they seem to be fine if I trim to far tach goes up speed starts to go down!! I don't know what gear ratio is on lower units! Also have engin synchronizer lights to keep them matched at same rpm! Maybe just pushing to much weight for horsepower to prop ratio?

I had a 86 272 with the same issue. I sold it,guy that baught it said he replaced the throttle cables due to stretching,,,,, Said he picked up about 800rpm with new cables. I would think you could adjust this at carbs???
