Oh, my mistake. I ment the AD in the classifieds on OSO... Not the factory Ad.

These boats are built like a tank and ride like a cloud compared to most other boats in that class and style.
Mine is very comfortable at 45~50 in 3'~5' seas and suprises me how well it handles screwball stuff like head seas off the port or starboard quarter...it just stays on top and slices the nasty stuff up like a straight razor.
Formula's of this vintage were never intended to run flat out in the same league with Cigarettes, Hustlers, Scarabs or Fountains. They will however take you from point A to point B accross rough water very quickly, comfortably and not beat you up in the process.
Like the ad says..."Luxury Performance Cruiser".

The lines are timeless....
We've seen it with cars, clothing, hair styles,... etc...It comes aroung...
Everyone is gunna be beside themselfs when Nor-tech, Cig, Outer offers a "strait bottom deep V" with mid 70's through mid 80's gelcoat graphics.. Just let the next buyers generation evolve to the "vintage" desire... It's an endless circle....

I own a 1989 Wellcraft Scarab III. Growing up as a teenager in the '80's (what a great time) I always wanted one. I love the classic boats. I can remember buying Boating magazine's write ups on the Scarab I with a Cobra drive when it was introduced. I remember on every issue the back cover mainly had a Formula advertisement, and occasionally, a Wellcraft advertisement. Great times, great boats. I wish I had a brochure for my year Scarab.
Anyway, great thread I have really enjoyed it and learned from it.
