LOOKING for a Formula 242ls
 
Just thought I'd throw this out here for those who don't wander the Formula threads, I am looking for a 88-92 Formula 242ls with bolsters, I am open to colors and Imron designs, I don't want a SS, must be a LS. I will consider a non bolster boat but the price and condition will have to be way right. I will also consider a Formula 271 early years, 92-95 and possibly a 272, but really wanting to stay away from twins,
Thanks

Alabama is a long way,but a friend has a very nice 242LS with bolsters,I think an 89 but not sure. It is 454 Mag Bravo.Local boat,always freshwater,I think she is 2nd owner. She mentioned recently she wanted to sell cause she never uses it. We serviced it last year and as I recall it was pretty nice. I can get her phone # if you like.

masi242 03-03-2008 04:50 PM

88, your showing good patiance waiting for the right boat, remember you could go with aftermarket bolsters? Any luck in Vt. I know you had that on your list. The boat in Wa. state is beautiful just a long drive and $.

Good luck

Check the transom thoroughly for wetness/rot.
