Default The Next Chapter - 272SR1

I’m back

Greetings Formula Family. I have returned with another ol’ bird renovation. This time, she’s a 1989 272SR1 that I picked up in VA a few years ago which then was sold to a friend, and now is back in my possession.

After some personal family/marital status changes that forced me to sell the 357SR1 last year, I am starting over with this gem. Looking forward to this revival for many different reasons.

Stay tuned….

What does it need done? I see the rub rail is off. I like the color scheme.

She just needs some love. It was repowered in 2007 but the engines were shot when I picked it up. The rub rail was removed when I purchased it as well but I have new to install this weekend hopefully. The some general maintenance, upgrades, and cleaning...

NC03GT Plan to get her back to her former glory. I have a set of lower hour factory sealed 454's to install for simple, turn-key power.

May plan for larger power as time goes on but looking to just get back out on the river with minimal wrench time for now.

She's going to be nice, brother!

And you already know she's got the best color scheme...
