Re: 292 FASTech on the way!!
There is no place to put a fridge in a 292 cabin. As was mentioned earlier,Formula is a production boat,very little leeway on options.But generally,most desirable options are already available anyway. The Lathum steering has always been available as a safety option,just not listed on the price sheet. They call it a silent option.

Wouldn't the hydraulic steering be very similar to the setups on the 353 and 382. An install on the 292 can't be much different. A Fridge would require signifcant cabin modifications that would be considered unfamiliar territory so I understand why that's not possible.

Re: 292 FASTech on the way!!
Thanks for the feedback. I understand that Formula is a production boat company but just wondered the extent of a little customization based on the previous discussions. IMHO a fridge should be available in a 29 foot boat. Looking forward to additional pictures as the boat progresses during the build phase.
Like the phantom says.....Formula builds a great boat!

Re: 292 FASTech on the way!!
While we're kind of on a 292 kick here, the new vette 6.0 engine has 400 hp with cat converters and all the other things that limit power in a car. The Escalade with the 6.0 truck engine has 380 hp. So why does the mercury engine that requires 0 emissions only put out 320hp???? Any one have an answer for that?-Nick
