You just can't go wrong with a 311 SR1. I had a 1990 292 SR1 with 454 365 HP and it was just one sweet boat. Put over 700 hours in 7 years on that boat and it never missed a beat. Added stainless marine exhaust, but this boat has good exhaust. My only suggestion for this boat would be full hydraulic steering. Had a friend that had 502 mags and bumped the hp to around 550 and had the boat up to 80 mph. Ran in any seas out there. This is just a timeless classic, probably one of the best models formula ever built. And . . . . . you get a liquor bar!!!

honestly, it might be one of the best boats ever built factoring convenience, appearance and speed for the era

anyone buy it yet? this was the talk of our boat club meeting last night,, will it end up in Buffalo????

I loved my 311, but I'm a firm believer in keeping stock power in a boat, and like most power boaters, after cruising around in it for 8 yrs. I wanted to go just a little bit faster No question that it's a great package and looks like a sweet boat (!), but forking over 39k for a 1991 boat no matter how clean is a difficult thing to do... so far, 842 people (and counting) who have looked at it on ebay agree.

Its 35k not 39 but still I think its one of the higher priced sr1 boats I've seen

Most people (including myself) would require the trailer to get it home... The "Buy it Now" price doesn't include the trailer. He wants an additional 4k for the trailer 35k + 4k = 39k

Oh my bad just skimmed the ad. Yeah I agree call it 40 for a 23 yr old boat with the old colors. Its a very clean example but 40k idk

ya but people that own Formula's are retarded and will pay more, someone is thinking about the money in the bank and getting the nicest possible boat out there, even if over paying a tad, IMO 30 should take it all home,,,

That is a lot of money just for the better engines. I found pretty much the same boat minus the special engines for 19,000 in the same general location LOTO. Are the engines worth the extra money?

That's a nice find however, to me the ebay one from the pictures blow the cl ad one away! 330's vs 465's... if I was still in the market id be all over the ebay 311 though I'm very particular in buying a clean older boat even if its more money. I searched for over a year to find what I was looking for. Where can you get a boat for that kind of money with stock power that will run, and ride as good as this 311!
