Artie, I want to give you a HUGE public thank you for all of the advice, recommendations and owners insight before, during and I'm sure after delivery of my new to me 1985 F-302 SR-1. YOU ROCK!! Hopefully I'll see you out this weekend. Colby

Thanks, guys. Met some great people on here, and have sucked others into this hobby so I'm not a lone lunatic 
Colby, can't wait to see the boat in person, and I'm glad I'm not the only big Formula on Buckeye Ocean anymore
I love this hobby, and I'm happy to help any way I can. You have my number.

Be grateful that Artie only talked you into a 302
... I wanted a 311 real bad, but he convinced me to wait for a 357... Not sure that I needed the extra footage on the trailer, but I do like it on the water! If artie doesn't stop getting buckeye lakers into large boats, we'll have that place turned into a parking lot. Practically more 30+ formulas than pontoon boats as it is hahahah

Pilotpete - Ace is awesome! Everyone love him! And yes, you need to Erie with us or at the least come down to Buckeye Ocean. The water is a majestic shade of green this time of year!
mainstreet - Very true but I will stick to my budget no matter what.
Funnone - Thanks! She needs some help but nothing I can't handle...I think...
Auto_werks 3.6 - He tried talking me into a 357 or a 382. Going from a 2450 Mach 1, I didn't feel comfortable going to the 34 scarab III I looked at or a 357. Give me a few years to grow out of the 302 and things may be different. I think he may have mentioned you while we were talking about the 302, 357 and 400. As far as I know, there's only a few 30 + Formulas and few more 30+ Baja's, Donzi, Powerquest and Sonic's. There's been far more bigger boats this year than in previous years.
Artie - You're still the biggest Formula on the lake. I love it too...mostly bringing back poor, neglected works of art to shine once again. I'm still having a fuel issue and of course the starter issue on the starboard motor. Taking it to be rebuilt tomorrow so I'll be working on the head, blue water indicators (one is off), more wiring and general cleaning while it's out. After it's running properly the next question is how loud to build the stereo? I'm sure I'll have to go with four batteries in this one too!
