Formula 28 SS
 
I have a friend looking for this boat or something similar, anyone have any useful info or lead? Budget is about 60K, prefer small blocks and fresh water

Thanks

Have him look at the 280SC Powerquest boats as well. Of course I'm bias as I have one, but I think they have a better cabin layout and some come with a small aft cabin. They are pretty much identical boats. You can't go wrong with either boat.

Tell your friend good luck in his search

you want 496 mags in a 28ss. They are pretty heavy. 496 mag is about as fuel efficient as they get. I have a friend of a friend that has one for sale with 496s, fresh water. I want to say he was asking low 60s. let me see if I can dig up more info on it.

There are a couple really clean Cobalts on Ebay in that price range.

My buddy just got one with 350s and bravo 3s. It's really nice! I think 6400lbs. No need for 496s unless you just want them.

Forgot about the PQ 28SC but there are none for sale and a ton of 28SS for sale, no offense to PQ but I would not put them in same league as a formula (I had 2 PQ's), I thought the PQ was a nice well built boat but not as good as a formula.

Low PSI, send me a link if you have one for your buddies boat, he is not a speed freak so I am pretty sure he would be more than happy with a 55-58 mph boat with small blocks but who knows, what does it run with 496's?

Pete280 04-15-2015 03:29 PM

forgot about Cobalt, heard good things about their quality, any idea on how the 293 rides?

Selling our Formula 28SS. Twin 350's, Bravo 3's, runs great. Full enclosure, sun top, bathroom, show power, cuddy, sun pad, and the list goes on. Great shape and runs fantastic. Excellent boat for Powell, Lake Jackson, Palisades, Hebgen, etc.....

The teal and white one Scott B is talking about it my boat. under 300 hours on the fuel injected engines. Runs 50+. Let me know if you are interested. BTW, I have owned 15 boats and Formula's construction is by far the best I have ever seen.
