Btw those are measurement reference points. A 272,292, and 311 formula do not have std bravo exhaust locations. I've taken those measurements and made custom tails once or twice.

You are correct they are right at the waterline. However I do like what the guy did modifying the ST box to get actual thru hulls on it he just needed to raise the center ones about 8 inches.

That platform is the one before they came out with the Silent Thunder, so he made no mods to that platform.....only mods are the thru hulls tips which Formula would never have done in such ridiculous way.

My bad I thought it was modified and very true on the thru hulls

BTW you being from West MI do I know you?

No biggie....I had that platform on my 272, the factory would run the exhaust above or onto the platform...not the best for longevity. I did pup upwards of 800 hrs on that boat, had to refinish the gel coat and add some stainless bars to keep the top from swelling.
We probably never met as I am further north....I have been down to Grand Haven/ Spring Lake a lot, but usually with the waverunner and not always with the boat.

Well I have been looking around at different things and I have a friend that is thinking of getting rid of his 303. The boat is a 92 with 454's bravos and hyd steering. Nice package with a good interior and tri axle trailer. What do you guys think of the 303's.

Joe? Great boat but I would want bigger I think the ass beatings on Lake Erie will get old, that but does run good though! One real good thing is you know the boat....

We love ours, wish ours had hydr steering thou, thats a huge bonus, with mags it will run 66/67/69 depending on conditions, I have 502 EFI's and get 74 regularly it handles lake erie just fine,

This boat runs around the same speeds. The 454's have some slight mods putting the hp rating around 420. This is getting to be a tuff decision. I found a really nice 311 also but this 303 is in my back yard and well the owner is like a brother. The other problem is last night my wife tells me that maybe we should get a bigger boat!!! WTF

303 isnt bad, I'm spoiled I will never have less then 35 in our end of erie lol I would look around for a café or 38 a gun pretty cheap some of those are getting awful cheap now
