1996 Formula F-31 PC built by Thunderbird Products in Decatur, Indiana.
It is being sold by it's SOLE owner and has been stored indoors and
unused for a number of years due to health of family members. Power is
provided by twin MerCruiser 7.4L gas V-8 engines turning 3 blade SS
counter-rotating propellers on 2.0 reduction MerCruiser Bravo III
outdrives.
THE BOAT NEEDS REPAIRS (thus the low price) and has been very
recently surveyed / appraised for $17,500 (results are listed at the
bottom of this ad-- please read carefully). The picture with the cabin
with the "Red X" shows an example where the headliner is falling. Given
these survey findings, pictures of items which need to be replaced have
mostly not been posted as they are of little or no value. The hull is
in GREAT condition and the boat is VERY clean. The bottom has never
been painted and the outdrives have good appearance. DETAILS
