Hi everyone,<br />I am looking at a 76 Formula 26 footer boat. <br />It is nicely equiped with all the toys: VHF, Lorance radar, radio, speakers, depth finder, remote controled search light, etc...<br />Boat is also freshly painted white. Looks very clean.<br />Has stove, sink, sleeps 2 people. <br /><br />It is powered by twin 350 Mercruisers engines with alpha1 outdrives. Engines apear to be rebuilt with brand new heads. Transom is redone (new)I have seen it solid without drive holes, prior to the time outdrives were installed.<br /><br />Can any of you guys give your opinion about that year Fromula boats? Is Formula a good boat.<br />What would be a fair price for a boat like this?<br /><br />Thanks very much. :)

Formula is a great name in boating, I like the older one's better then the new. A very beefey boat that will take to ruff water well.<br /><br />I'm not really sure what it is worth though....... I'd say aroung 10grand, but what do I know :rolleyes:

Lenny - By all means have it surveyed or checked out by a profeaaional mechanic. Formula makes great boats. Do not be destracted by the toys that come with it.
