Just an addition to say that this thread is probably one of the best resources you will find on restoring and re-powering one of these boats(especially since Photo Bucket put all the Pics back Up !!).Alpha to Bravo swap was challenging but I learned a lot doing it...and had fun. "Color Me Gone" helped me thru some major changes in my life in a positive way...and for that I am grateful. I am also grateful for all the support and encouragement I got from the members of this forum.

We moved from Ft. Lauderdale to Ocala Last Year and the Muscle Car Scene is huge up here.We are active members of the Marion County Corvette Club. I am running into a few of my old South Florida Boat buds up here. I have a consulting job in the Lower Keys...gets me down there twice a month.truthfully...makes me want to do another project...who knows? Stay tuned..."Flat Glass Formulas Forever" !!

We love this beautiful boat and the story behind her. We've gotten as far as removing all the old carpet and the headliner but then life got in the way. I'd sell her back to you in a heart beat if you ever want to her back

Dustin finally towed her the hour from our marina where she's been living since bringing her to Wisconsin to our new home since we have a lawn to put her on (sorry neighbors). One engine is running great the other seems to have an issue with the fuel pump.

Probably because it's been sitting a while. Tell Justin to tap gently on the top and side of the fuel pump a few times with the switch in the on position. That will probably free it up. It may take 2 or 3 repetitions to get it to break loose but it should work.

Also...I paid the "Fee" to Photobucket that opens up all the archival pics for this restoration.

UPDATE: I paid the "Photobucket Fee" that opens up all the Pics of this restoration. I hope this provides some inf to you guys working on these old Formulas. There is some good detailed information...especially upgrading from Alpha/Pre Alpha to Bravo I.
Enjoy!!

WeeBitFluffy curious how this one's doing these days. Love this 255. Absolute stunner of a project.
