My first Formula
Hello all
Been quietly watching this forum for years and a few weeks ago spotted this 292 on here. A few weeks later and its mine! I am sure you all saw when the previous owner posted it on here. Jeff was a pleasure to work with on purchasing the boat I can't thank him enough for putting up with my million questions and picture requests. He took amazing care of her and I plan on doing the same. Took me and the family a few hours to get her cleaned up from the 2500 mile trip from Michigan to Seattle area. We took it out for our first run yesterday on Lake Washington and I have nothing but good things to say about this boat! Formula builds a beautiful boat and the previous owners took amazing care of this boat. As soon as I can get my old boat (Mirage Trovare 257) sold I plan on using that money to upgrade the 292 with full hydro steering and K planes! I would love to hear what other 292 owners are doing for upgrades? I look forward to many years with this boat. I have found this forum to be a wealth of information. I will definitely be posting some questions and hope to do mod threads when I do upgrades! Anyways here are a couple photos!

Ongrats on that new to you formla! I enjoyed mine back then!

Congratulations and welcome to the Formula Family (the "Bird Cage").
Great boats and great group of owners! |
6.2L
I Just touched 70mph on gps on the first outing! Definitely needs hydro steering and tabs for safety at that speed... I have never seen one with this paint scheme! Very unique. |
The Eagle Trailer is very nice! Very well built and heavy duty. The boat unloaded and loaded onto the trailer very easily. The surge brakes aren't the best but they do work well. I don't like the clunky-ness of them but they do haul it down well. Only complaint I have with the trailer is the bow roller has caused some damage to the gel coat. I plan on replacing the bow stop with a dual pad style like Myco uses. I will probably post pictures of that mod when I get it done.
