Formula removed the graphics (and the massive stereo) before I purchased the boat.

Wow, it would be nice to have that stereo at the lake. Sweet boat. Did it come with a cabin, 1/2 cabin or is it just bare?

I'm envious!!! How much lighter is the kevlar hull'ed 38 without a cabin than the regular 38?

There is no cabin in the race-prepared kevlar hull.

If you don't figure it out, I'll take the drives. :)

Now I know why you are looking for the boots.

I was just kidding. Here's a thread on when I replaced a boot on one of my drives.

Yeah, I know you were kidding, same here. I remember that from when you first posted it, I saved it at the time, but am not sure if I still have it.

cuda--the pics of the transon of your boat seem to be showing some sort of anti-electrolysis hardware. Do you know the brand?

it appears to be 24 inches -- it looks like a model for your desk top. I'm definitely not knocking your boat - its just the pic

Actually, it's 80.7 at 4,700 rpm.

But that's almost as sick, anyway..... :eek:

80+ mph on black MerCruiser engines - sheesh. Probably gets almost 2 mpg at 55 mph cruise, too...

Tom - You're a great guy, but I still hate you. Now If we could just install my deck, interior, and engines in your hull....... :drink:

C Spray,

Hats off to Formula for creating a 38' package this efficient with stock power (the blue-printed bottom may have something to do with it as well).

Chuck, you don't hate me...just these basic black engines. Let's get together after you return from Ohio. I'd like to help you get your bad-ass bat boat back in the water.

Tom

Looks great. Kind of reminds me of Gilligan's Island when the Minnow went out for a 3 hour cruise and took years. Fred thought it would take a couple of days :p :D

Looks good Fred! But I wanna see a few shots of your hair after your first ride with the fairing! :D

Yes...with increased responsibility at work, I've been traveling about every weekend and have not had much of a chance to use the boat. Someone is going to get a great deal.

I'll say! That's got to be the ultimate Poker Run boat. Shame I can't just buy the hull and slide it under my interior/power...

Tom - We'll miss you out on the Bay. If you get a free weekend and need a ride, just drop me a note.

firstoffshore 08-25-2005 07:10 PM

Re: Post pictures of your formula!!!
 
Thanks C_Spray

There has been a lot of interest. The day that we were with Scott Porter, he told me that they only made about 14 of these special kevlar hulls. I think that you would agree that this is the nicest one in the world because it has never been raced. I have not even had time for a Poker Run...maybe the second owner will get a chance to use it.

Classic, timeless look that will always be admired...the quality of your paint job is outstanding. I like it better than any FASTech that I have ever seen.

Check out our 2004 370SS. We did a fun run from Jackson Park Harbor in Chicago to Michigan City, IN with The Chicago Power Boat Club over Labor Day weekend. Previously owned a 1998 382 FasTec with 500HP carbs but had to change direction and style because the wife had skin problems from the sun and we did not want to join a summer bowling league. It's not a FasTec but in 3-6's on Lake Michigan we did not spill a drop. We also have left a few Baja's in our wake on rough days trying to figure out why the performance cruiser blew by them. Simple " It's a FORMULA"
