It is very clean, runs mid 80's and the guy works right in Burlington, VT.

Great looking boat, but that was maybe last year's dream, new year, new budget. thirteen years more of child support, and a paying for a house I don't live in.

I'd be looking for a single engine, moderate HP, nothing blown. All I need for my ego is to at least hit 60 or so, nothing outrageous.

Formula's a great boat, always have loved them. But it's not in my budget as of yet. I liked the 280 SS, but with the needed power and the price, doesn't fit. But Formula's are classy, always have been. They do good work.

Steve.. The Formula I got for sale it's in your or anyone's budget. $11,500. $12,000 with trailer.
No issues with the boat. The tachs needs to be calibrated.

What year is that one?

Hate to go back too far, I'm not mechanical at all, practically zero on that end.

1985. The trailer is 1995+-
Nothing needed mechanically. Everything works/looks great.
The tachs are just a bit off from actual RPM's Easy to calibrate or just get a couple new. I love the boat but I got 3 and the Infinity and the Formula, saddly just got to go.
