So I took a little trip over to Lake Lanier yesterday to pick up this. I just purchased a 99 Formula Fastech 271. Boat is in AWESOME shape and only has 177 hours on it. Has a 502 MPI and has been taken good care of. Ready to get this thing in the water and enjoy some summer weather. I'll let the pics do the talking.







Makes the truck look tiny

Congrats, nice looking FASTech!!!!!

Welcome to the Formula Family. Good looking 271.

step 1 ditch the silent thunder, seal all bolt holes well.
step 2 make noise

Actually I think its plenty loud with the silent thunder, I would consider ditching it if I had captains choice.

I had a 1993 271 with a 502 and that thing turned heads at the dock when I fired it up. That is a great engine for the boat. I had over 750 hours on mine when we moved up and it still ran strong.

Enjoy!

Hell spend some $$$$$ like I did on my 2000/271. Whipple, EMI thunders, 1.5:1 XR, 26P Bravo1, Hydraulic steering. Went from 64-65mph to 78- 80mph GPS.

I'm so stoked out of my mind right now its not even funny. My only complaints about the boat are it doesn't have tab indicators and its lack of storage space. I'm just not sure what everyone does with their fenders/ropes/anchors ect. But I'm sure everything will find a home in due time. Right now I'm just ready to get it on the water!!!!!!!

You can add the Bennet LED tab indicators, not a huge job just confirm you have Bennet tabs. Boat and engine look very clean. Is the trailer original to the boat, it seems to stop a little short at the transom? Have fun with the boat, you'll eventually dial it in to your liking as time goes on. Congrats!
