Formula 242 LS - Short rip before winter storage

[@jmk4126]

Whats your top speed i have same boat with a stock 454 and am trying to figure out what set up to go with to get some more out of it

[@RiggeGTR]

@@jmk4126 50 knots i think that is 57 mph

Had the exact boat, 365 mag, just factory paint, the color was wine I think it was called on the king stripe, then just white fom there down. Loved that boat. When i sold it it had nearly 2000 hours on it and same engine and drive with never any real mechanical issues other than just replaced some regular parts along the way. I would be parked next to a three hundred thousand dollar go fast and more times than not people woulp compliment my little Formula first. It was an 88. Take pride and take care of them and they will last a liong time. My silent thunder swim platform was showing it's hard knocks tho, i had it repaired but the guy that did it didnt do a good job at all

Kinda cutting close to those rocks for a flyby? You steer with cables…

[@sisuhurme3378]

What engine? And is this the stock silent thunder exhaust?

[@RiggeGTR]
