The boat does everything that I need it to and I can tow it with my heavy duty Suburban.
These boats are getting old and many are going to need work. Sounds like you're in a similar situation.
I'm okay with a boat needing some work to get it to the level of my 272. What's most important to me is seeing how the boat has been cared for and being structurally sound. Some faded paint/gelcoat and a rips in the upholstery doesnt bother me as I know it can be fixed but it's usually a good indication of the previous owners.
Like you mentioned, these boats aren't getting any younger so finding the perfect one will be difficult. Im not expecting a killer deal by any means and I'm willing to spend the money for the right boat as long as it's a fair price (for me as well as the seller)
I've seen a few really nice ones sell this spring but I wasnt looking as hard as I am now and missed out. I'm sure more will turn up as time goes on. I'm just a bit impatient and it would be nice to sell my current boat now at the beginning of the season.

A 1988 popped up on this face book page. White and teal one. Check it out.
We have decided to sell our 311 and posted it on Craigslist last night. I can provide pictures if you’re interested

It’s not allowing me to post a link to the Craigslist ad because I don’t have 10 posts yet.

It is on Craigslist under Buffalo NY. If you do a search for Formula it should pop right up.

You’re welcome. The boat is gorgeous. We get comments on it every time we’re out. It has a chameleon paint job, that changes from purple to teal depending on the light.
