This is one gorgeous boat, abet not a Formula but one of the BEST west coast builders and from the BEST most reputable shops on the left coast. I would not hesitate putting $ 5,000 down with a week to inspect. This is a STEAL. Just saying, heck I would go to Havasau just for the trip, if you never been plan on an extra week and enjoy a slice of heven boating.
edit new price $ 21,000 Firm

Would anybody happen to know of the 99 Fastech out of Seneca Falls NY? It’s on Facebook market place and I’ve sent the owner Tom 2 messages with no reply. He’s viewed one message and not the other. Gorgeous fresh water boat. Within 4 hours of me

If that is the Tom I am thinking of he was a 242LS owner previous to this boat. He had a really nice 242 and I would assume he has taken care of this one also.

My first boat was a 19ft wellcraft bowrider with a 5.0. Thing looked like complete **** and was starting to rot out but did me good for 2 seasons. Second boat was a 26ft wellcraft Nova with twin 350's, complete pile of ****. My current boat is a 2002 fastech 292 with twin 350 mags. Once you get used to running the stepped hull you're fine (handle very different from a straight hull IMO) ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS GET A SURVEY!!! I had my 292 surveyed and I was there for it. Hull and transom were dry as KFC biscuit.
