By any chance is he a member of OSO?

I believe this was the original "Let's Play" boat (not the one that won the world's in 2003). It was then sold to the guys from the "Foxwoods" team if my memory serves me correctly. If they still own the boat, they are some of the best people I have ever met in my life!

It seems like a helluva deal at that price! I wouldn't let my F-2 boat go for that.

Nice rig.....

That is an awesome boat. I would buy that in a heartbeat if I was boatless!! I wonder if he would take a trade!!!!!

wow great deal.

Do 525EFIs live with 87 octane? I wasn't sure what the minimum octane rating was. I know all the black Merc motors are okay on 87. 500EFIs and 525EFIs also???





QUOTE: 2001 FORMULA FASTECH 382 38' -Completely re-powered in Fall 2003 with twin 525 Mercury EFI's, Brovo XR drives with Sportmaster lowers. Smart Craft Guages, halon system, K Planes, bottomless bolsters. Factory race boat (no cabin). 94 MPH on 87 octane gas - an excellent poker run boat! Used in fresh water only. Includes triple axel South Florida Trailer. Located in Stoughton, MA.

Not only will they live on 87 octane, but they will actually make more power.than they will on higher octane. High octane prevents pre-ignition in high compression engines (the heat generated by the compression causes the fuel to ignite prior to the spark plug actually firing). Lower octane = leaner combustion = more power!

I can tell you that on our F-2 boat just going to 87 octane from 93 was good for approximately 100 rpm! Not too many things that you can do that actually cost you LESS to make MORE power!
