Great looking 302! Looks like a brand new boat. What does it have for power/drives? Love the graphics:drink:

I took the windshield off and made a fairing out of plywood and fiberglass matting...

I'm a carpenter by trade, so it was sorta easy to manufacture myself. I have the old windshield for sale if anybody is interested. Just make me an offer!

I picked up my '83 233LS the middle of this summer. It has twin 305's with MR drives. I've only been out a few times, but really like the ride. I have not been able to find any information or specs on this model with twins. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Bill

I think it may have been on ebay . It needed some work new headliner some rerigging & new upholstery from the back seat aft. The back seat was made wrong so we had to redo. Got it at a great price with a new trailer (06). We have put about 60 hrs on so far its runs good 67.8 on gps . Going to put 540's in this winter. Do you know the boat ?

I dont know if it is the same boat or not the ac was in and mounted and worked until the first of july. Even if it is the same boat with the upgrades that we did I still only have low 60's in the boat.

We drove down on thursday with a 2500 HD Chevy truck and cash .Set up a sea trial with Ed Cozzi at the wheel.The boat ran great Ed did a survay, We knew that it needed some work the seller wanted 67,000 for it plus the trailer .Made him a one time offer showed him the cash and went and had a Beer so he could think about it. When we came back he countered. We told him that the boat needed to much work and we would help him put it back in the shop and we were going back to Va.. He took the offer and we were back in Va on sat. .I guess cash does talk or it did that time. I was not even looking for a boat had a 272 with new power, but I had the cash on hand and tried it. I dont know if we did the right thing loved the 272 .

88242LS 09-10-2007 08:51 PM

Well it looks great now, I love that pic in the air u posted on SW and above, I will side with you, I know 38 is too much for me a 272 is probally perfect for me in all ways except fuel, we do alotta cove hopping start stop etc which now that ,y "kick" is over I think a 272 is overkill for me right now, also I want to do some traveling, I have a 00 Tahoe and if I go 272 I stay with my Tahoe so I'll be somewhat stuck at home and a cpl local lakes within 100 miles, But whatever I find first I'll get just looking for nice shape and nicer price:food-smiley-007:

I emailed Formula last night wth my hull number and they replied that they don't have information back to 1983. Any idea where to go? The 1983 brochure does not list any 233 LS's with twins.

My first Formula 1993 271 sr-1 picked it up 2 weeks ago and pulled the motor on sunday. Boat sat for 2.5 years somewhat winterized. 515ci,250 B&M supercharger,dominator.

88242LS 09-14-2007 08:53 PM

nice 271 I'd like to find one very similiar, does that one have bolsters?

[email protected] 09-16-2007 04:45 PM

Yes it has power bolsters and they both work :party-smiley-048: I broke the bank just to get the boat was a unplaned motor rebuild, motors apart just needs rings, gaskets and reworked by TRUE blower guy Mikes 280 from boatfreaks going to handle it:circle:
