The old girl had some shine left in her.

Any idea what kind of performance you'll see out of the 502's?
I have very little seat time. best I've seen with the 32p bravos has been 72 mph without trimming up (have to rebuild a drive cylinder). was at about 4400 rpm. 4 grown men on board and 1/2 tank of fuel.

Not sure what your budget is going to be like, but I'm considering letting mine go. My wife and I are looking at moving to a new home and I need to free up some capital.

That's real nice. We boat in the Niagara also (my brother and me.). Love that area. We'll be up there in August for the poker run on Erie/Niagara. He keeps his Skater 30 at East Pier Marine, and has been working with Chris at Bow and Stern on prop selection for his boat. Maybe we'll see you around. I always liked the classy lines of a Formula. My brother previously had a 353, and a 242 before that. Te Skater is a TOTALLY different kind of boating, but the Formula is good at many things. Very comfortable too. I would consider getting a 292 or a 312 myself if the right one comes along. Prefer the big blocks in the 312. The 353 is just a little out of reach at the moment, but I can dream.... :-)

Wow, that's real good. I wouldn't have thought the 502's would swing a 32p prop. Is it a 3 or 4 blade?
