Thanks for watching! It's a beautiful area. We headed out into open ocean and the boat handled like a dream.....cannot express how happy I am that I purchased a Formula, especially stretching the budget a bit to get into the larger 37. I look forward to posting many more videos throughout the season.

Sweet! Nice boat.....it's great seeing Formula's out there...although not too many so far. There is a really nice newer model year 37PC with a steel metallic hull on an outward facing end slip at Hilton's Marina (I believe)....I wonder if the owner's on this forum.

Hey there! I saw you headed back...looked like you were carrying a tube on the stern? Awesome day to be on the water.....your boat looked fantastic as it cruised by.

My wife and I are looking for new places to explore...could you tell me more about Wingersheak Beach? Did you guys anchor out?
 
i carry my 10' dingy on the back with a 5 hp motor in the cabin. We use this to get into the beach. If you head up the annisquam river you will see lots of boats anchored out and some beached during low tide. We are usually there on nice days! warmer water and great sand. Plenty of water for you to drop anchor.

Awesome! I will do the same with mine...will check it out. If only we had several more months of summer left...hard to believe the season is over in less than a month!

Posted a video going up river under the route 95 bridge. Check out the guy cruising by at 2:27 in a no wake zone....I can't tell you how many times I saw this up and down the river this year. Fellow dock mates would scream at those who were up on plane passing by the marina but it never solved the problem.

Just another entitled individual who thinks the rules don't apply to him. I once was docked at a fuel dock on the MS river in a no wake zone and I guy came down next to the dock and left a huge wake---typical entitled idiot----and it caused damage from the bumper to the hull----did you know that the raised lettering and star on Taylor Made bumpers can gouge through a fender cover if you get a large enough wake? He was long gone by the time I was done fuelling.....
 
by my marina we get fast movers, we typically all blow our horns at them. A few months ago someone called the marine cops and they actually issued seven tickets over a weekend. Good stuff.

Sorry to hear about the damage.....you should give the Taylor Made fleece covers a try...very soft material that held up well for me this season. A slight bit of fading occurred but overall I'm impressed with the protection they provided.

Well after that disaster which took a chunk out of the gel coat I ground all the raised lettering off of the outside of my bumpers before I put them back in the covers. During the wake in the non wake zone incident the wake drove the boat hard into the dock and the raised star lettering dug in and ground out the gel coat.
I removed that failure mode for future issues.
