Pros and cons? Hull, space, power, parts, defects?Found one for 4500. Looks to be in good shape. Ill try to figure out how to post the ad. Its on craigslist out of evansville indiana.

Also love to see some pics from the members that may have one.

(I know its a small baot for this particular forum but u guys seem to have a wealth of knowledge)

Thanx for any and all info.

Might also want to post in te formula owners forum. Lots of very smart knowledgable formula guys there.

I don't know anything about that particular boat but I love my formula.

Must be this one:

Nice enough boat but a bit over priced. looks like a Holley carb...the 302 could be original which means you've got 30+ years of internal corrosion with it and the manifolds/risers.

I had the 18' version of that boat for 10 years...solid performer....but it was new when I bought it.

I wouldn't pay more than $2500~$3000 for it. You'll be into new power and a drive pretty soon. At $3000 your rolling the dice whether you'll get one or two seasons out of it. If it had recent power maybe...but I would pass.

Yes, thats the one. Thanx for the info. Been on boats my whole life, but ready to have my very own. Been doin as much research as possible. Like the older boats but hard to find one that like u said need a bunch of work.

It could die in another ryear or two but very unlikely.it alsocould runfine for another 10+ years with little trouble. Great boat,think what anew one (if formula still made it) would cost..$75k.. Talk him down some and get it.
