Question Hoping for some help finding my old Formula 272sr1

I was hoping that maybe someone out there might have seen/know where my old boat is,,Description as follows. 89 Formula 272sr1 palm beach colors, twin 420/454s with Bassett headers and Bravo 1s, Teal full trailer cover with black stripe and gold lightning bolt on the stripe, matching cockpit cover, and matching full camper canvas, all with the stripes and the lightning bolts.Name on the sides said Silent Thunder with clouds and a lightning bolt in gold. Traded it for a 24ft DCB (cover shoot boat from Hot Boat Mag) and when the boat left Fl. it was heading to LOTO to live..Kinda want to find it and see if it could be bought back..I just really liked that boat..I'd post a picture of the boat, but I'm computer stupid and don't have a clue as to how to..duhh.

Thanks Nick

I'd post this in the general discussion area as a lot more people would see it.

Shhhhh, don't tell anybody....Actually just really liked the boat, and decided that I'd like to have it back if it was found/feasable and still in decent shape. I like my Fastech but I liked the way the v-hull rode/handled, But then again the creature comforts in the new boat are mighty nice. Ultimate goal would be to sell the Fastech, repurchase my old 272 and then find myself a nice used 29pc Formula for those weekends at Silver Glen(the local weekend party hole)

LOL, that must have been some stash.

If you know where the pic you want to post is stored on your computer it is very easy to upload the pic. Or, you can save it to the desktop and then when you do a posting just look below for the button that says "manage attachments" - hit it and then just select the pic file. It's really easy and we'll help ya post the pic and locate your old bird so you can get that stash back.

Also, I was thinking of getting rid of my old 357 SR1 for a FastTech so I am really interested in why you're going the other way. You didn't like the way the FasTech handled?

The ride on the Fastech hull is a little to harsh at cruising sppeds for my taste(at least compared to the v-bottom), The boat handles fine but I'm not impressed with the way the hull comes out of the water, the props seem right(28 four blades) pull to right at 5 grand. but it doesn't plane worth a s#*t.

Again, just personal opinions/observations.
Nick
