I talked to Mitch last week and he has quite a few boats that I am very familiar with. One being the original 335. When anyone asks me what my favorite test boat was, I dont hesitate to say the 335. It was fast for a sport cruiser, handled like an Outlaw, and had all the amenities of a 405.

This photoshoot was done in Miami. Lacey, the girl in the pic is a Miami Dolphins cheerleader and unbelievably cool! I was down in the cuddy looking out the port windows when this picture was taken (turns out I wasnt good looking enough to be in the pics!)

Ok, I totally got off track there. This thread was meant for another boat, but I saw the 335 and my mind wandered......

Anyway, they have a blank 30 Outlaw, and I started thinking about Dock Holidays 500s for sale................Hmmmm!

God why am I not rich. Oh yea I live in Ohio.

I love the 335 as well. Would be the boat I upgrade to if I could. Love the speed comfort mix and the open cockpit feel. I can see how the trend of mixing these features is the way the market is going (i.e. just like the crossovers in auto industry). Seems Formula has been doing okay at it for some time.

I believe I was on that same photo boat at Kelly's when JR was driving it around Lake Erie some time when it was a 315 and still under development. I remember it having that blue carpet that didn't match.

The 335 is probably still motor-less too then. The 335, that 35, and a 30 all got stripped at the end of Baja. I know they were out of the 335 in under 3 hrs one Friday morning. The 500s would be nice in it, too.

Is that the same 335 that the outdrive took a crap on at the Lake Erie poker run?

What is the deal with these boats?

Yes, they pulled the engines and drives to use in another test boat with the idea of replacing the engines in the 335 with NEW power. This was all in the works when things when south.

While the 30 looks very nice I don't find that price to be a good deal at all if you need engines, exhaust, transom assemblies, steering and outdrives.

By the time you are done you will have at least $46,500.00 more in it with my 500's at $15k for the pair and if you went with new power you will be way over that figure.

You could knock off around $10K if you could rig it yourself but most cannot.

A lot of work and in the end a lot of money.

Just my 2 cents

That's what I was thinking. If it had transom assemblies and drives at that price, it might be a worthy project.

I about fell out of my chair when I saw those prices until I saw some didn't have motors.
