Additional Comments:
We love our boat but are changing up our boating direction and looking at a different layout. It will be difficult to leave the Formula boat build quality.
This 37 PC was purchased “New” by our Family in 2008, and have enjoyed every minute on it.
The quality and build on Formula boats like this, is far superior to nearly every other manufacture out there (yes, even Sea Ray…)
We normally boat on the Mississippi River, and the boat is slipped in Dubuque IA.
While the boat is equipped with 850 HP, its very seldom we ever used the power.
What it does allow, is a very nice cruising speed of 32-36 mph, with a outstanding ride to go with it.
Formula boat handle waves much better that similar builders, due to their hull design and robust build.
Fit and finish on Formula, again is second to none, and it stays that way.
This boat has been cared for well beyond the norm. The boat is normally polished/waxed in the fall, again in the spring, and the sides once during the boating season.
It is stored up out of the water on a lift (original anodes still look like new), in a covered slip, with normally a full mooring cover. In the winter it is stored inside.
I am a pilot, which I understand puts one in a “anal” category. The way the boat looks, and its condition, you would agree.
Mechanically, the boat is as near new as you can get.
If there is something broke, it is fixed. This boat has been cared for with an open checkbook, and unlike many used boats, is not on a “differed maintenance program”
If you are in the market for the cheapest boat on the market, this isn’t it. It has not sat in salt water in the Florida sun. Anyone who thinks the cheapest boat, is the best boat, is nearly always wrong.
Boat repair today, which you all are well aware of, is expensive. Buy a cheap boat, and you can quickly add tens of thousands to get it where it should be.
We are planning on selling this boat, with the intent to move to a larger boat.
If you have any additional questions, following is my contact info:
Thanks for your looking, and you interest.
Regards,
The Shelton Family
