Josh,that is Rex's old 353 in Mi. Shane picked it up from us a couple weeks ago. Really nice 353 that runs great. Rex really got the props dialed in good. Getting so many opinions on trailer colors I'm still in the air over it. Looks like Karen may win out tho

MagicFloat........Karen has my vote. White is clean and can be made to match just about anything. Just my.02
Rex........Judging by the grin. Shane, is tickled pink! I know I was drooling over it. JOSH

C'mon Robert, think outside the box on these.
Formula is getting daring with their colors these days, and being a former owner of two of their boats, the one thing that they always had going -and still do - is class and quality. White is too generic, you need to get a nice side profile shot of these boats on (any) trailer, (maybe from Scott?) and drop it in photo shop and see what it looks like in a mock-up scenario. I think that if you use a "secondary" color, (to quote Rippem) to accent the package, it would look sweet. When people see these packages, they'll know they came from your shop. I have read that you always like to be different with your boats, (ordered your Donzi Classics without the ski eye and so on...). Throw an orange trailer under that Lazer paint, sit back and take in the view! It will truly make it a "package", not just another boat on a white trailer...

Looks like Karen won,I'm going with white,which looks great on any Formula. As a dealer,we sell a lot of boats without trailers and a lot for salt water which has to be aluminum. If I have a specific color trailer and sell the boat without it I must order another in same color which can sometimes be a problem. And if anyone insists on a specific color Prestige I can always get one and loan him a trailer till it is built. Presto,problem solved and Karen is happy. Thanks for the input,lots of good ideas. Troutman,the 353 is 525s with Stellings boxes, Robert

Like I tell people when they are picking out tile for a bathroom or kitchen, white never goes out of style.

Joe,
I got mine from a local trailer supply. I think it was around $170.
You might try Campers World. I know theres a number of hem in Florida.(if the weren't blown away yet
