12380 lbs!!!!!!!!! No fat chicks!!!! Geeez!!! Why so heavy John?


Oh.....a 383? :confused:

383 is a 382 with a/c and Genny. the babe in the bilge! With low water pick-up.

10500 empty-dry, the fat chick with blower= 200, two meat balls= 400, 190 gallons of gas @ 6.2# each=1178, 75 #'s of gear and water for the suction box! = a 12500 lb chick magnet!!!

Troutly,

I know how you feel. Mine ran 74.5 (3 people & full gas), 79 (1 person & 25 gallons) with Corsas stock. Without Corsas 82 (1 person & 25 gallons). If it's hot and humid subtract 1 or 2 from these numbers. All are GPS readings. Your motors are probably not as sensitive to restricted exhaust as the 525's.

- One more to add to the list - list to port that is -
2003 lite with 575's, XR's with Stellings and Sportmaster lowers, no gen or air etc.
Told dealer at 20 hour checkup and two other times for service - no answer.
Sure is annoying while running, no problem at rest.
I thought it was just me until I read your post - have you had any explanations ?
Also, I have tried the Labed 34's that were delivered on the Boat, 32's, 5 Blade Hydromotives, and 28's on GPS.
34s - results 50mph - 3500rpms
68.5mph - 4500rpms
78.5mph - 5100rpms WOT
5 Blade Hydromotives
49mph - 3500rpms
69.5mph - 4500rpms
77.6mph - 5200rpms WOT
Trim indicators @ 8.5 with Roster

2001 382 Fastech 500EFI, Stellings boxes, B1 28p, full cabin , no AC or genset, full head, color TV etc.. Race fering, no windshiled 77 on GPS all day, 80 if light nad 1'chop.

Great boats this is the second one I have bought new, my 95 had 600+ hours on it. rebuilt drive once thats it!

It's all good!

No resolution yet on the port list. The factory is working with me to get to the root cause of the problem and fix it. Hope their findings with my (R&D boat) will help you and others also. I did expect this boat to be much more dialed in than it proved to be. Prop and planing issues were not what I expected considering my thought that this is probably Formula's most tested hull. (F2 boats)

Hope we're ready to rock and roll for the start of boating season in Northern Michigan next summer.

Hey Wrink,
Wish it were my clothing line !
I just happened to speak to the factory today! They mentioned your ( R&D for the Winter ), seems they want to get to the bottom of the problem. In my dealings with Formula, I can't speak more highly of their willingness to solve a problem.
Low 80's, Blue Skies this weekend - Still a bit of rock and roll left here in Georgia.
