As a former Formula owner the build quality is exceptional, however how many 430's were sold ? I remember before 2008 they were going to do a 500SS but we all know what happened post 08, part of me wonders if there will be a market for this thing at what 2-3 mil, dro in the bucket for some I guess.

Formula was also famous for low introductory financing which sold a lot of boats. 1.9% for 48 months, then 8% for the other 11 years type deals (encouraging owners to trade UP before the bigger payment started). Passport Marine was their biggest dealer and he would even finance the prepaid storage on the boats so he could keep the dry stack full. That hurt when a couple hundred of the Passport Formulas got taken back at once due to shady deals.
