Just picked up this 1987 Formula 242 SR1 in RI. Needs some work but has a great foundation. My friend Swoodfever and I had a long day but it was worth it. Now finish it and get it in the water.

Thanks! It needs interior work and a real good scrubbing. The trailer was very suspect but it should work for a while.

I think it will take me a little to get used to the twins....I have heard that once you do it is easier docking. I also have to install the drivers bolster. In my garage right now.

I don't want to insult the Formula lovers here, but, has anyone ever swapped out the fiberglass swim platform for an offshore (tubular) style bolt on?

On some formulas the platforms look like afterthoughts.

Are you talking about Blue Marsh? I use to go up there with an 18' Four Winns...I have been hesitant to take my Superboat up there...it is a small lake. The Formula looks nice and you will really like the twins when it comes to docking.
