Looking for 292/303/311 SR1
*New to the forum here* First, a little background, I have been boating all my life, growing up on a searay Sundancer boating in upstate New York and on Lake Erie. Got rid of the sundancer and down sized to a 21’ searay Signature bowrider which happened to find the bottom of an inland lake this summer due to a storm. So i have narrowed down that I’m looking for a 90’s and newer sr1 as I have fallen in love with the overall design and layout of the boat. There doesn’t seem to be many on the market as I have been cruising Facebook, boat trader, power boat listings, and ofcourse the classifieds on here. One boat that has caught my eye my eye is th 1991 311 in Elkton Maryland listed through Popyatchs. Anyone have a backstory on the history of the boat? Seems like it has been taken care of and some serious money dropped into drives/motors and some upholstery. Looks like it could use some dash cleaning/updating. Are there any other sites to be keeping an eye on when searching for a boat? If you guys could keep an eye out at your local marina or if you know anyone looking to sell and steer them my way. Regards, Ryan |
Got a 1988 311SR1 I am "considering" parting with (girlfriend doesn't like it...lol) Engines/Trans/Drives were replaced 100% with NEW, not a stock part left! 735hp 572,s Konrad PRS drives w/optional HP lowers, Hueber Trannys. Upholstery and stereo system NEW. Hull is showing its age, could use paint or a wrap. If I keep it, would probably wrap it? In SW Michigan. If interested, [email protected] 616-260-4064. I can e-mail pics Didnt even hit the water this year :(

Welcome Ryan, you have great taste in boats. The market is vey difficult and challenging to navigate. My best advise is to take your time and research thoroughly any listing that meats your criteria. Distant Thunder was selling a nice 292 a few months back. It may be gone by now. Best of luck on your search , I will help if I see something. You will need cash in hand for the best deals. |

Regards, Ryan Welcome to OSO and we look forward to joining you on your quest. The 311SR1 on POP has been listed for quite some time now but unfortunately, I don't recall the backstory on this boat. As you may know, the market should be opening up in the next two or three months for Formula's. You will see quite a few pop up from the DMV area but the most Formula's I have seen in good shape with reasonable prices are usually to be found in the Northeastern region. Anywhere from the Great Lakes to the East Coast (at least in my searches over the years). The new owner of my 292SR1 was located in Florida and had been searching state by state for months until he found mine so it appears the pool is thinning out a bit. Be patient and be picky, you will find the right one for you. Be sure to check the normal Formula problem areas prior to purchase. These old Birds are a blast to own and the Formula community is a great one to be a part of. I went from a 223LS to the 292SR1 over the years and loved every minute of it. I look forward to owning another one in the coming years. |
This one looks clean and with it's location is fresh water.

I would like to stay at that 31’ mark due to trailering reasons. I would have to say that extra 4’ is a big jump in boat size. I’m sure your boat would be above my $30k budget. Willing to go slightly higher for the right boat. I do appreciate the thought and response. |
