Seems that there was a warranty replacement hull switched in by Thunderbird Formula in 1989 which explains the Fiberglass platform. The original 242 '83 vintage inner liner and deck cap were removed from the original hull and placed on top of the 1989 replacement hull. Since '89 hulls incorporated the Fiberglass swim platform.

Machloosy saw this Sunday and sent me the pics...said he spoke with the owner and was told that it would plane inside 100 feet!! The acceleration of this boat has to be like a Bass Boat.

That 242 is on it's second care-taker. Guys name is Tom and has had it since 88, re-hulled under warranty by formula in '89. It's incredibly clean

Some nice looking boats guys.....I have always been a formula guy but I just bought my first boat besides the jetboat I have. I am 24 and my dad had a 27 formula most of my life but here is my 1994 - 24' python I bought a few months back.

-- redoing some of the stereo stuff.
