New project boat
 

Hi everyone I just wanted to introduce myself I’m Jordan I purchased my first boat last week a 1984 formula 242LS with twins. I got it from another member here he had a thread about it somewhere; I’m basically picking up where he left off.

This is the first time I am going to be involved with fiberglass work I have a fair amount of experience with just regular body work and painting. I’m sure that will help me a lot. But I know ill still have a lot of questions.

I live in central Ohio and own a detailing business so if any one has any questions feel free to ask I’m sure ill be seeking plenty of advice on here so it’ll be nice to help give something back.

I bought the boat in pieces so its going to take some time to figure out what all I am going to need there is going to be a lot of little things that I’m sure will be missing right now I’m trying to find as many pictures as I can to get an idea of what its suppose to look like.

If anyone has any I really could use some detailed pictures, I found some online but there wasn’t a lot

Thanks

Welcome to OSO. A 242 LS with twin small blocks is a really nice package. You might want to try Formula's TAG department, a 1984 goes back a ways but I'm sure they will help you anyway they can. One of the nicest things about having a Formula is the support from the Formula Team, great people.

Ok ill have to give them a call. I need to find some info on what foam to use to put the gas tank back in. where does everyone buy all of their fiberglass stuff at? I need to start getting some parts lists together

Thanks

Welcome, I'm also in central Ohio. Congrats on the new ride.

Thanks, It seems like there is a lot of people from Ohio on here.

seen boat on craigslist, thought about picking it up.. but ended up going a different direction... previous owner has done alot of the hard work for sure..shouldnt be a hole lot of work..looks like a nice project.

Congrats on the new boat. Another central ohio guy here :drink:

Got any pics?

He did do a lot of work on the boat. There is still a lot that needs done though.

Looking forward to it though, Ive done cars and trucks before but never anything that floats so its gonna be something different.
Thanks and not at the moment the camera broke on my phone the other day I haven't had time to get it fixed.

Where abouts in central ohio, and do you do boats :grinser010:

You an alum guy, or a buckeye guy?

Probably neither. He seems pretty cool!
