Formula 330 SS re-power
Hi All ,
New to the forum but have read many discussions here.
I am about to "invest" in a Formula 330 SS , researched quite a few brands and boats and the choice is final.
The issue now is that I would like to have the boat rigged and ready with the least amount of issues in SALT water.
I am going to have to slip it in Salt water year around , but I do have the possibility to lift the boat out of the slip once every month or 2 for cleaning barnacles and inspect bottom paint.
In the range of boats available there are the lower cost 1999 - 2002 boats which could be a candidate for a re-power with either Seacore or Ocean X set up.
In my opinion this would give me extra ammo against the corrosion in the salt hot water but at a cost (which I am willing to take if it really does give a lot of extra protection)
Alternatively , I could go towards more recent boats in the 2006-2008 range and just add (or make sure it has) closed cooling , then add the best possible outdrives I can get to fight the corrosion.
Anyone out there that can give me some guidance on this ?
Boat will fdefinitely have to be the 330 SS (right spec after many considerations , otherwise would have gone outboard)
Thanks !
Jack
