Facebook has a 90 42 lightning. 454s/420s trs. That should work. 27500. Boat looks clean no trailer

He has actually been talking with him. Not sure if they can get close enough with a trailer. We shall see!

You can pick up a 38 foot steel trailer for about 4k

What era of formulas had the hull to deck joint issues?

Those were some of the Fastech boats that were bonded with Plexus. Mostly 382's in the 1997-2003 range from what I've seen. All i know is mine is still solid, and the repair really isn't a big deal.

Not mine

Ck out my Sutphen in the classifieds

I like Formula and would own one for the right price, that being said, I dont think build quality is that good compared to other brands, to be honest not any better then Baja, they are both built decent, but I did find unsealed wood, and places things were not tied together, I think my 320 Baja was built better then the 311 I parted both so I know, I also thought the Scarab was better built, I also took apart a 34 ScarabIII and thought they were tanks, but not really.... for Lake Erie keep eyes open for older Cigs, 38 Scarab flat decks, and I even think older Fountains are built good, for that price range.... I am ver spoiled with ride quality in the Mistress, its amazing in any water...Scarab KV is supposed to be the same.. these are my opinions and I would gladly take your buddy for a ride in May if hes still looking to show him the ride quality over others...

I would entertain 28 foot Apache and 28 Panteras for sure, may be less then 30 foot but some serious rough water boats...!!

now thats a great riding boat also!!

This one is SOLD

Love, love, love this boat but his wifey says it has to have a cabin

I agree... But do you know of any for sale? Sure can't find any. He may have a deal working on a nice 311, courtesy of this thread. Keep them coming! Thanks guys.
