    asking price

    I am in the throws of a boat move. Don't get excited, I am keeping my 260 BR but looking into a larger motor yacht, more details if we progress. Is there any reason to not ask for an 18% discount on asking price if I want to be at 13% off to fit my happy place? Asking is $550K. While I am at...

    formulaboats.com

    New mother ship web site is up and running. Kudos to the team for updating. I give it a thumbs up overall. Really like seeing each model with imron graphics on one page, after navigating it a bit I quite like it. Cheers, Greg

    Seabag?

    Where did this unfavorable term come from? I have never been on the water on a Searay, I have crawled around some at boat shows, I have had social evenings on some, there are more for sale than any other brand, which means there were more sold new than any brand too. My wife, I love her taste...

    Serious Bow Rider

    http://www.formulaboats.com/350-crossover-bowrider I especially enjoyed the video from the Porters about the development of the project. Formula swing and miss, base hit or Grand Salami? I can argue that most Formula Boats are in fact very nice day boats so why not go big or go home? I can...

    towing w/ RV

    Anyone towing w/ and RV? I would love to hear experiences and ideas about ideal RV to tow with. Wife and I are considering cruising around with my 260 Bowrider behind an RV as a potential option.

    How fast have you?

    After watching the Youtube of the FastTech with the 725 Ilmor's and reading Aquaforce's desire to Formula to break the 100mph production factory boat, I am wondering how fast have you gone? For me it is 55 mph in a 21 foot Triton Bass Boat with a 225 Honda outboard. I go WOT now that I am over...

    Seattle Boat Show

    ??? No Formula representing at the Seattle Boat Show. Largest boat show in the Pacific NW and I don't see any evidence of a new or even brokerage Formula at the show. Maybe someone knows otherwise? I posted on the Formula Facebook page too just to see if that source will know. Greg
