311SR1 pros and cons
 

Considering a 311 SR 1 w/454's and Bravo 1's any information or insight is appreciated

I gave you my opinion in chat the other night. It sounds like a helluva deal. Did you see it yet?

I love mine. It's great in the rough stuff, definitely my favorite aspect of the boat, besides the Formula quality. I haven't gotten into the "chat" room yet, wish I'd been in that one Cuda was talking about. What's the info on it? If you end up with one, swap the props to Hydromotive Intimidator Quad IV's, you won't believe the difference, at least over the Mirage that came with mine. If it has the "silent thunder" exhaust on it, I can give you some ideas how to modify it so it runs better.
Sounds better too. Keep me posted on what you do....

Drove it today and your correct regarding the ride..........very smooth in a pretty good LOTO chop too.

You will be hard pressed to find a better built boat than an old Formula. Very solid ride. Does it have 454 Magnums? Good luck!!:) :)

Well Lutze......... WHAT IS THE DEAL????? :D:D

Jon

Or a new one for that matter!:)

I have one for sell... 1991 with 502's .

What are you looking to get for your 311? What are you getting for top speed with the 502's and how many hours are on them?

Picking it up tomorrow
 

Will pick it up tomorrow after some tweeking and am trying to make it for the Large Richards run on Friday at LOTO. 76 on gps.

congrats!

great looking 311:cool:

Fantastic! What engines are in that bad boy to get those speeds? As I recall, you said it had already been converted to Bravos.

Great looking ride. Maybe think about painting the hatches white. Nice job....

Cuda
Slightly modified 454's (cams, rockers, headers, manifolds, carbs and exhausts)

Driver is stock. (well maybe slightly modified too) :D

Lutz,

Great looking boat. It looks like $$$ well spent from the pic. Hope everything works out for you guys. You deserve it after waiting so long.

Buck

looks great, what year, other details??

asking 52k , 390hrs on stock 502's. @ 70 mph wot. killer sound system, big cabin with ac/dc frig.

Congratulations LutzParty!

Looks great.

It's going to take some engineering to get the pole on that baby.:D

Did that boat come from wisconsin?

Mika

I have cked it out and dont see an easy solution for the pole

Yes it did come from WS.

Just let my divient mind work on this problem for a while. I think I am already seeing a solution :D:D

I saw the new 311 this weekend and it is very nice.

Jon - you may need to also help Kevin figure out how to work the stereo!! :p :D :p

Rob

hmmmm plane ticket and I am on my way!!! Driving instructions included :D:D

Rob

I figured it out. There was this tricky little button that said "ON/OFF Power"

Did you know I was a Harvard graduate? money well spent eh?

OH BTW the stereo rocks.

now all it needs is the pole.....:D

That IS a nice looking old bird. The bolsters are interesting though. They don't look like standard issue Formula-McCloud bolsters from that era. Have they been replaced. They look real nice, just not like the originals. All of the originals I have seen have almost flat or horizontal arm rests. The ones that boat slope pretty sharply. However, the top back section looks identical to stock.

Just wondering!!

Nice boat man!!:cool:
