Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

I just called my friend and he leaves on a plane tomorrow to NY till next saturday :'(

That will be to late, But on the good side he lives in Gulfport not far from Biloxi Ms, so if I win I can have the guy go there wuith it and he will store it till I can get there to get it!!

That will take some of the perssure off!

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

That is sweet, price sounds like it is going to be great.
How do they ride and are they wet, looks like a speed boat type of hull, whats the deadrise on them. It looks fast that is for sure.

Also MJ it has two bildge pumps may not be good for you ;D

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

I believe FORMULA was built on similar molds as to the BERTRAM 20 MOPPIE, THEY HAVE DEADRISE!!!!(28 degrees!!!!). It definately looks fast, nice sharp entry to it too. WILLY may be right though MJ, 2 bilge pumps could be bad for you. If only I had the money, it could be just right for me. Only about 6 hour drive for me.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Formula has 24.5* deadrise, I have fished one of them many times in the past, but it was a CC

So I know just what it is and thats wht I want!Now if it doesn't go to high and I sell my boat fast it will be mine!!

Man there is alot of if's there :-/

I have been looking at the same boat here thatys not even 1/2 that clean and it is a I/0 for $5500 but I am sure I can get him to come down a bit.

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Well good luck, if you decide to go for this one let me know, I may have to take a road trip with ya, none of your farts though without warning at least, CB filled me in ::)

Re: Help MJ find his next boat
 

Well after some careful research, I found out that the FORMULA 233 was in fact designed by Jim Wynne and Walt Walters. Jim Wynne based his designs off of the origanal Ray Hunt deep vee design sporting 24 degrees of deadrise, so she is based off of similar lines to the BERTRAM 25/31. The 233 FORMULA was the first hull that FORMULA boats designed under it's founder Don Aronow. Don Aronow later founded DONZI, and then MAGNUM and finally CIGARETTE, all of which were origanally founded off of the 233 FORMULA's design. So that FORMULA has quite the performance history to it, and a VERY sea-keeping design as well(everybody here has heard of BERTRAM and there fame I believe).
