try some magic eraser on that bolster, looks great

Thanks, discoloration looks like it could be from tanning oil. I'll try the eraser and report back with results this weekend.

There was a discussion here just a little while a go about boats this size, and I think 88 put a link to it great looking boat and even better numbers.

Congrats and you will love the site

What a find!! That boat is a 24 year old time capsule!! It looks like it was shrink wrapped and stored in a climate controlled warehouse since it came out of the plant!!!

Diego bought a super clean '89 272 SR-1 but I swear I think your 242 is cleaner!!

Disagree Sprink, no time capsule there, someone has taken the painstaking task of changing the rubrail to white, completely changes the entire look of the boat

Wow, I had to look in the 89 Formula brochure. I didn't notice it was different until you pointed that out..

Welcome to OSO! Congrats on a great find. That bird is clean.

Damn...I missed that one!! But I guess any thing later than an '86 looks new to me LOL

Congrats. Just bought my 86 as well. Has not seen the east coast water yet, but soon. Good luck!

Nice ......
