Dgduck - you're not alone. I love what Outlaw did with his boat but for what I use mine for - swimming with the kids, wakeboarding, skiing - the platform is a must.

dgduck, is that a 311. What power? How did you do the fairing in place of the windshield. If you are selling I might be interested. Joe Murray

One more vote for the factory platform...I wouldn't buy an older Formula without it.

dgduck, is the dash painted or gelcoated? If paint, what did you use?

Looks awesome BTW...

All those boats are looking very good guys, very good. DG, I love the white interior of your boat. That is in the "not too distant future for Outlaw"

And I can see where some people like the Silent Thunder platforms. It certainly is distinctive and different. I just feel the same about them as Cuda does biminis.




I DON'T NEED NO STINKIN MUFFLERS......

Ok, I did a search and see that you used Sherwin Williams automotive paint and clearcoat... That's a project I hope to do this spring.

Wow, that seems high. Was that just to recover the sunpad? I got a quote of $400 to redo the one on my 302 and that was with a Formula Bird logo sewn in it. I moved away from there before I had it done.

I paid 1800 to do the sunpad, rear seat, and side panels on my 272. Basically everything but the bolsters.

DG--let us know about that fairing!!

The reason I like the swim platform is it gives our boats the "formula" look. It is hard to mistake a formula no matter what year. If you take the platform away then it becomes a little harder to tell them apart from the rest. I mean if you own a formula you should be proud of that, I now I am!
The Fairing for the boat is alot of work,I think I had about 600 hours into it and if you look under "Project 311" you can find out the basics on how I made the fairing. If you have any other questions just PM me and I will explain it. Also I am in the process of moving to Cape Coral, fl. Once I move down I will be making a mold for the fairing and will sell a complete faring if anyone is interested. I am making it just in case something happens to mine. This way I will have some place to start from instead of going back to square one. Let me know if you are interested, I don't know the price yet but i will let you know as soon as I know.
And I don't think anyone feels the same way about anything as Cuda does about biminis......
