Howdy group.....I need some input on the 232ls by Formula. I am not new to boats, but new to the power boat segment. I love the formula brand. My budget is $20k and have found a 96 232LS for under $20 and apparently immaculate. I really want a 242 ls but everything I have looked at is junk. Would love those who are more knowledgeable than me to chime in here!

I had a 1987 with 350 mag and got at most 50 mph. The ride was great for a boat this size. Lots of room. Nice cabin. Sold it after having to repair a rotted transom twice. Get a 29 Fountain.

Put this in the Formula section you may get a few more replies, but with a 20k budget you could find a nice 272.
