I have a boat-smart friend in that area if anybody's interested.

I went with someone to take a look at this boat. Here is the link to the thread in the Formula section that points you to some more close up pictures

If you have a couple of 383's hanging around and have some time I think the boat would be a Great project.

Formula, (Thunderbird Products), offered the:

Very possible. I didn't start selling new Formulas 'til '87, so I don't know what they called twins in '85.
