You're correct, Artie. I'm guessing akaboatman just read it quickly. I reread what I wrote and I think it's pretty clear, but you never know.

However, Formula does offer a 35-footer in the FAS3Tech line, dubbed the 353. But don't take my word for it. Check the website, http://www.formulaboats.com/353-fas3tech.

You are correct ... and incorrect. The the picture is a 382. I blew up the photo as big as my screen could handle to check it before I posted my story, and the "8" as you and Tim Sharkey correctly have it, looked like a "5." I was wrong.

I just didn't want people to think that Formula doesn't offer a "35-footer" (inches rounded off, of course), though I haven't seen a lot of those on the water. In fact, that's why I went back to the website. Based on your comment, I wasn't sure it was still in the line.
All good.

The low freeboard on the Phantom worked great for those low water shots looking up . Problem was I left my ear plugs in my other camera bag that I used for the Raceway Park Drag Strip Shoot .
These two Protechnologies engines within 4 feet of my ears was way more than I could handle.
Gotta say though, Tom and Jen helped me get the job done at the start !
That Phantom can really run ! We must have only had 2 or 3 boats in front of us which worked out great . As we backed it down to around 85 or 90 mph I started picking off the boats as they came by ....
