Congrats on your 206! Sounds like a fun boat.

I bet that boat would scream with about 500hp and an XR drive.

Good luck with it and welcome to the Formula family.

Congratulations on your new ride and welcome to the 'Formula Family'. My first Formula was an 85 242 LS with twin 350's. That boat saw a lot of action in the North Atlantic off Maine as well as a thousand mile trip around and across Florida. Enjoy.

2 footitis is easly cured. But 10 footitis is terminal and you will catch it beware it going around! Congrats and be safe!

Actually I started my boating in reverse ... I lived on a 44' 1965 Pacemaker for 8 years on Lake Union in Seattle right out of college. Sold the boat 7 years ago and finally made it back to the water after purchasing a home on a beautiful lake 30 miles south of Seattle and now have my first performance boat! I will defiantly be on the look out for a F242LS or F223LS as I think I would enjoy the additional cuddy room. I will be using the boat 2-3 times a summer up in the San Juan Islands and the extra room would be nice. : :drink:

COOL boat! Love to find a twin engine 242 here!

There was a black '87 242-SR1 with twin 350's for sale in Seattle area last year. Was asking a lot for it. Don't know if it ever sold.

Hate to raise a stink but....How bout the F3LS? Don't forget this awesome boat. TONS of room in the cuddy. I am 6'2" and can sit in the cuddy without hitting my head. The berth is also 6' long. Im very partial to my "3" 86 was the last year they were made...Sorry to budge in but don't want us with "3's" to get slighted. So hopefully you can add them to your list also!

Nice! I will keep my eyes peeled for this model also!

Isn't the 206 a great boat?
We've had our '88 206 LS four four years now and we just love it. Even though it 15 years old it still turns heads when we take it out.
This is our first performance boat too. The wife fell in love with it the first time she layed eyes on it. I was hooked during the test run before we bought it.
Do I have any regrets? None!
Anything I'd change? Yes, the cuddy really needs those deck hatches. Ours didn't come with them, I see yours did, and it gets really hot in there. Plus the airflow would help keep the cockpit cool while at anchor.

Best of luck with it.

Bad Habit, nice looking ride, I really like the foredeck with the simplicity of the paint scheme. Russ

I'm new to this site, but am currently looking to get into the small "go-fast" class of boats. I am searching for a 206LS myself, but have stumbled across a 23 footer with the only markings or MACH I in the standard manufacturers name location. Nobody is ever home, and there is not a phone number, but it has been out front for about 2 weeks with a for sale sign on it!

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks...

Mach 1's are defintely a step down from a Formula but if it was taken care of and at a good price it's worth a look. Post a question asking for comments on Mach 1 boats in the General section of the board.....You also should try a search within the board here for the keyword....

Re: Love this boat!!
 

How serious are you about wanting a 233LS?

I'm not quite ready to sell mine (it's becoming more and more fun each time I take it out) but I'll see if I can put you in touch with another that I think is even more perfect than mine....

Re: Love this boat!!
 

I love my 88 242 LS, the fit and finish of these boats still impress me.
It's so fun to drive, seems to ride equal to a bigger boat in the chop. Very stable ride at any speed. Very glad the previous owner updated to the 502 combo.
