Hey Chris .. congrats .... whats the inside like ? sweet boat ...

Chris

offthefront,
Thank you! The boat has BRAND NEW interior through out the inside. Through formula, the boat was shipped to McLeod to have the cockpit and cabin reupholstered. The cabin has been done with ultra leather and all the black Plexiglas has been replaced by white. This boat still has the black dash, but has been updated with gaffric shifter, throttles and gauges. The engines where rebuilt in 2003 / 440 HP and over 600 ft/lbs torque. I am going through the boat before I use it to tighten the screws, deep clean and fix anything the previous owner missed.

Was something wrong with the old drives...or was it just time?

Actually Chuck, a little of both. With 730 hours, and being counter rotating, along with a little slop in the steering as a result of wear in the gimbal area, I decided to pull the drives and replace the pivot bushings. When I pulled the starboard drive, the u-joint was rusted up and the top seal had leaked. So it just made sense for the money to put a set of new drives on the back and be done with it.

Made a few runs Saturday night with her and everything seems OK.

Chris,
top-notch looking Formula! I'm looking at buying a 336 with the black dash. My question to you is, did you check into seeing if the dash can be painted white? If so how much would it cost? Also, any complications? Obviously gauges would need to be replaced. I was wondering if bezels would be a problem.

Thanks
Chris
