got ya Air, that is my debate also, but just loved the hull looks and I have not had a CC for a long time. I think if I was to get one this would be a top candidate from what people are telling me. How is the build quality of these puddle jumpers?

She looks pretty nice, I was eyeing it last night actually. I would look closely at the engine and the hoses, I see where somebody has changed a few of em, so make sure there not laying on anything. Overall there pretty good, and the center console's are fetching top dollar still. She would take a chop in stride for sure. Stringers seem to be the number 1 issue on all of the FORMULA 233's, and the transom a close second.

As Therm said, the stringers are about the only problems with these. If taken care of they will last forever...

OK Ferm thanks, does the stringer and transom issue affect the I/O's the same?

Most all of em back then were I/O's, we didn't get outboards big enough to really do the job until the 80's. Check them anywhere you can, but pay extra attention for places that look like there coming loose from the hull.
