Had the opportunity to ride on the '05 Formula 382 Pace Boat at the GLSCS season opening race in Algonac, Michigan this weekend. If you haven't seen it yet, this is one very nice ride! Colors were blue/grey,orange, lime green, and a dash of red with a ghost "FORMULA" in light silver down the center of the foredeck. Dash is in red carbon-fiber with Livorsi platinum guages and throttles.
Power supplied by Mercury 575 SC's through XR/sportmaster lowers. Cockpit lay-out is 4-person bolster/rear bench configuration with intercom. Cabin features a Sharp 13" flat screen TV with hidden DVD player and is very nice improvement from older models ... I want to upgrade my '99 with this feature in the future!
I would like to thank Vic, Dan and Formula for their generous support of the Great Lakes Silver Cup Series medical/rescue team. Their participation and assistance is greatly appreciated.

Your career is only beginning my friend. Then you can appoint your OSO brethern as your Cabinet. Your first legislation you could sign into law would be eliminating all "manatee zones". Come on Trout, you can do this.....Russ

I keep hearing rumors that there's a 382 running around with "development" power somewhere. (I know there's a 400SS going together with some nice new diesels.)
Too bad the rest of the offshore world can't get it's collective $hit together well enough to make it worthwhile for Formula to support them. Keep the faith, GLSC guys. In the meantime, it looks like we'll see a lot more of the factory crew at Poker Runs and Rendezvous events....

I've got a picture - I've got a picture - I've got a picture. Neener, neener, neener.
Trust me - this thing is sharp. "WaveLazer", right Robert?
(Actually, it's no big deal. Formula sent pictures out in their E-Newsletter last week.)

Sorry ... haven't been able to break down and get a digital camera and software yet. Too much $$$ spent already this year in storage building modifications, windshield, drive repairs, upgrade to '01 F-350 4 X 4 Powerstroke, and gas.
If I had a camera with me Sunday, I could have had some great shots of the #27 Supercat going over. I was about 400 yards away when it flipped ... we called the incident to race control and were the second boat to arrive at the scene.
Think the State of Minnesota would mind if you loaned me your work camera for the next race?

Good luck in your new position! Hope it leaves more time for family and boating.
