I don't know anything about that particular boat but I love my formula.

Must be this one:

Nice enough boat but a bit over priced. looks like a Holley carb...the 302 could be original which means you've got 30+ years of internal corrosion with it and the manifolds/risers.

I had the 18' version of that boat for 10 years...solid performer....but it was new when I bought it.

I wouldn't pay more than $2500~$3000 for it. You'll be into new power and a drive pretty soon. At $3000 your rolling the dice whether you'll get one or two seasons out of it. If it had recent power maybe...but I would pass.

It could die in another ryear or two but very unlikely.it alsocould runfine for another 10+ years with little trouble. Great boat,think what anew one (if formula still made it) would cost..$75k.. Talk him down some and get it.
