Troutly, you sure have! Thanks again for the tip on this boat. As you know...I got a hell of a price for a brand new boat with these options and trailer. I've only got a few hours on it as the weather has been dumpy since I've been on vacation. It sure does work well though... super soft, level ride!

Troutly's old 353 will be going to Chicago in a couple of hours. Probrably the cleanest 2000 trade-in I have ever seen. New owner bought sight unseen and no test drive because after talking to Troutly he knows the boat is flawless. The boat business is fun when you deal with good people and good products and a high level of trust on both sides.

He loves it....... He'll get over it. Hey, if he had that kind of higher end product, for a fair or better price...I would have bought six boats in a row from him. no problem.

Saw a 292 with that graphic in a Trenton ad I think...flying...a pic I hadn't seen before even tho it must be a Formula promo pic. That particular graphic in the 29 "scale" looked pretty damn good. She wouldn't notice 'till you two cleaned it...or put fuel in it!

She never cleans the boat only the house That is my Gig and I fuel all the toys.Actually it was a total marine purchase and 100 hrs since new and looking for bigger.By the way you could not get better service than I have had. And I am getting 74 GPS so I will Look for Bigger power than 500's Because I need to be well into 80"s to justify the money. but that is still one awesome comfortable ass kicking boat. And They always get looks and good comments.Again good luck. Why don't You bring it to rock the bay poker run sept.19 to 21 extend the season mid 80's there I will be there nice to see a couple more formulas to run with( northeast MD)

I had given the rock the bay run some thought in the interest of "extending the season". I'll do some more research on the run. Do you know the area?
