It has 454 420s... Sea trial went reasonably well... I think we made some battery management mistakes or it has a draw on it from somewhere. Probably would have gotten stuck if we hadn't switched to one battery for floating around and enjoying the day. She runs great, and we saw just sub 60 mph on the GPS between dodging trees and tires etc at the dam. My SO loves it, and was very surprised at how big a 35 is lol.

The boat was originally in NY, spent some time in Toledo, and most recently it was on st Clair in Detroit.

That's the one, belonged to Jriggs on the board for a few years before that. Have any scoop on it prior to its ohio life?

Belonged to Doczdoc here locally, very nice boat and very well maintained, lift kept, 2/3 owners since, but no one has kept it very long not sure why, last time I saw pics it still looked great

That's the same boat. It's still very very nice.

You are correct 242ls. I bought the boat back in 2009 from Greg (Doczdoc) and know the history of the boat very well dating back to 2004. Not sure on the battery issue, never had anbything like that going on when I owned it, hopefully it is just a bad battery. Glad to see the boat will be back on Lake Erie this summer.

Congrats on the Formula, that is cool. That boat is the identical twin to mine that came out of PA. Well kind of identical, my mills are stroked for 500HP with TRS. I assume this one is TRS also?

We are hoping to wear the boat out here in Atl this year.
