Dear Formula Boats
Remove your DNA seems like a bad idea, the whole company are build up around the Sr and Fastech line.
Now Formula are selling a lot of sportscruiser and crossover boats, and I am happy for them, not my cup of tea dough.
The market is not in favour for V bottom performance boats at the moment, but Outerlimits Cigarette and some other brands are still selling why? because they want to, and has put a lott of investments in upgrade and development.
Formula has neglected this type of boats completely the last 10 years. Not anything new since 2001 or 2002 when they launched the fantastic and beautiful 292 Fastech.. You can not sell this kind of boats only by changing the graphics and paint…. So I am not surprised that it ended like this, only sad an end to the coolest boat line ever made…
They will always be classics and beautiful boats
Only thing to hope for now, is an relaunching of a performance V bottom line from Formula in 2025 he he :-) :-)
I will soon enjoy another summer in my Formula 271
Have a fantastic weekend folks
Regards from Norway

It's to bad, I love my 353 what a great boat. Formula needed to change with the times and they never did. Maybe if they put a little bigger power in their boats, and showed up to a few poker runs the fastest might still be around.

agreed but few Fastech owners are willing to run their boats in poker runs. Why??? Do not know but I can tell you that you will see ours as well as Apex Warrior at poker runs....we actually run our boats for what they were built for .... there is a reason why Fastech is the Mercedes (Ferrari HP) of Vhull boats 😎🍺...well at least Apex Warriors and ours are😬😬😬

Here you go, is this the last piece of Fastech history?
If you hurry, you can own but don't blame me if it doesn't increase in value..
