OK...as promised, a short video of the 255 running. I made this with my phone so it could be better. As soon as I figure the Go Pro out I'll make some more.

Give your self a pat on the back not everyone could go thru all of that work.

Thanks...well at least Formula gave me a good base to work from!! LOL It's amazing to me that after 35 years that there is a VERY solid foundation to work with. Were there not...I would not have put the time, effort and money into this boat to bring it back.

We were out last weekend and at the ramp on Palm Beach I had no less than 8 different guys walk up to me and ask about it.When they see twin Bravo's hanging out of a "Flat Glass" Formula under 26' they know something special is going on.

I had one a$$ wipe "Boat Genius" tell me that "it can't be a '79 'cause Mercruiser didn't start making Bravo's until '88-'89"....I mean seriously? Most people want to know how I did it...and how does it perform compared to before. In any case...I usually end up with 5-6 guys helping me get it on the trailer and out of the water just to get a look...it's kind of fun.

John,

Congratulation, everything is paying off at last, that rocket looks great.

dirtymike72

Yea ...I might have to get Diego to help me with that deal. I am having a hell of a time figuring out if my Go Pro is on or off...some one needs to make a remote control for these things.

Diego9040

anytime John, we are due for a ride on yours !!

Crude Intentions

There are remotes available John. I have a go pro app which acts as the remote and gives me a screen to see image. Nice feature
