Formula F 272 LS
 

Anyone know much about these?

Someone I work with brought in some pics of a cherry looking one for sale. AudioFN, have you seen it? It's near your slip I guess at White Motors? No price listed on it. Might be a fun little boat to get me by until I know what I really want.

Let me know if anyone has owned one of these or still does. Looks early 80's.

I do not know what boat this is. I keep mine on the trailer. HOWEVER the 272 is a really good boat. Small enough that it is easy to trailer and handle around the dock, but big enought that you do not get to bounced around out in the rough stuff.

From the pictures, it looked like it had Alpha drives and no through hull exhaust. Two strikes against it...

groove, they come with silent thuder exhaust that runs thru the swim platform. This set up was standard. It is a nice sound w/o being to loud around the docks

Going to try to throw in some pictures.

Wow, tight restrictions on file size!

Last one.

Groove that boat looks REAL clean. For a couple hundred bucks you could add tips and make what you want out of it :D:D I would be happy to help if you want.

Nice looking boat. I believe they had sbc's and all of them with the sbc's at that time had alpha drives. I wouldn't worry too much about the alpha's, with the twins they are sharing the load getting on a plane. I have 350/alpha in my 85 242, and haven't had any trouble with them. What are they asking for it?

I believe they want 18k for it. I still only have second hand information at this point. I may go look at it this week after work some day. Just really wanted to hear the exhaust rather than have it go out the props... :(
