My first boat was a long time ago...Before these were even made. I want something a little larger, probably a 24, maybe a 26 if I can squeeze it in! I've had this one going on 6 years. It's time for a little bigger, and a LOT FASTER!
I hope to start looking by next year. Any recommendations? (Gotta' have a cuddy). I was thinking Fountain, or Formula. I know Fountain made a 24 at one time.

Liberater...I kept my boat in LaMottas in Manhasset Bay for two seasons...great place...then last season I gave the south shore a try. I use to go out to the sand hole in Loyds Neck all the time. I am undecided if I should stay on the south shore or go back to the north..

Personally, I like the north shore. I've been boating up there all my life, with the occasional trip to the south shore , and Montauk. We kept the family boat over at LaMotta's as well. Back then (70's) it was only known as the Manhasset Bay Marina. There was no restaurant, only a small snack bar. I knew Guy, but I haven't seen him in so many years he wouldn't even know who I am.
I used to love looking at all the Go - Fast's there. He was a Fountain dealer, and always had a couple in the parking lot. Oh to be a teenager again!

Nice boat! I had an '86 21' Liberator with the 350 Mag, and really enjoyed it. Great cabin for its size.
You would really like a Formula- our boat after the Lib was a 242LS with twin SBC's. We lost quite a bit of storage space aft compared to the Lib, but really enjoyed the boat. They can be found with single BBC's as well- get a later one with a Bravo drive and bolsters. Much bigger than a 24 Fountain and better in the rough too.

Nice boat, I have an '86 241 Liberator with a pair of 350's.
Mine is the dark blue and grey.
I have a friend that is trying to sell his 241 with a single 460 that is the same colours as yours. He bought a 311 Formula last season.
