Yes, Gary is a great guy to talk to very knowledgeable about Formulas, Red with winter here for us northerns its great to see pics and find out what your doing with your new ride, keep it up.

I hope to dip it in the water for a little ride friday if all goes well. I'm torn between ~$450 for a bimini or $120 for a taylormade anchor shade. Are any of you guys using one? I'd really like to see what one looks like when tied on a formula.

Also a picture of how the bilge blowers are set up properly in these hulls would be great. I figured out why mine doesn't work. THEY WENT AWOL! I've been opening the hatch to crank it. Can't believe the guy didn't put them back in after painting and the new engine went in.

blowers (2) mount vertically on the starboard side with hoses going down into the bilge. So whats it run? what prop is on it?

So 2 blowers both blowing out?
Havent ran it yet other than on hose. It has a 4 blade 19p prop.

Hunter, I bet Sick Stinger may have the correct blowers as he is parting out a Formula now. Check with MASI242 on pics of blower/hose/direction I bet he has some. Glad you found the name of the shade cover. Looking great.

I have 4 blowers in the big yard ornament searay just want to make it as close to factory as possible. Thanks for the tips! Is there a better hose type than the white dryer vent looking stuff?

We use an Anchor Shade on the Cigarette and love it. I'd actually rather have it than the bimini top since I do not really like having the top up when running.

Have any pictures of it being used on your cig?

Here's a good one...
