This unique boat is the perfect blend of comfort and performance. With 3000 total horse power you can run hard in big water or just kick back anchored in a cove with the BBQ and Air Conditioning on.
We used it as a floating motor home, where my wife and I (no kids) would spend 3 or 4 days strait cruising. The boat is equipped with a new fridge freezer, microwave, heat and AC, vacuflush toilet with waste treatment system, on demand hot water, private shower, swim step shower, flatscreen Tv and a stainless BBQ that hangs off the side of the boat
The boat has a front sleeping cabin and a large U couch that turns into an additional bed.
All Aluminum trailer with minimal rear overhang allows for launching this boat on small shallow boat ramps. The boat seems big when it's on the trailer but when it's on the water it's the perfect size to be smooth, comfortable and easy to drive. We typically pulled it with a Ford diesel truck.
The instrument panel is similar to an aircraft cockpit that has 37 gauges to monitor all the different systems of the power train and there are warning horns for critical parameters like no oil pressure. Gauges are for out drive temp, drive position, trim tab position, water pressure, intercooler pressure, oil temps, oil pressures, volts, fuel pressures, boost etc.
Boat has always been stored inside our aircrafthangar.
This is a great boat that looks and sounds fantastic! We really liked the space and layout of the Formula's in comparison to other performance boats. In 2012 we completely refitted the entire vessel which resulted in a new looking and driving boat. The boat does 90 as is but if you increase blower boost and use race fuel you could maximize the horsepower of the engines and go faster.
I personally run it easy as its not much different cruising at 70 vs cruising at 90 (except fuel consumption)
We built the motors to sound really nasty and they are currently tuned with a lot of blower oscillation which can be reduced if desired.
This big deep v hull is very predictable and handles rough water very well. Set the trim tabs down so the nose cuts through the waves and the girls can be drinking cocktails down in the cabin while underway. The heat blows hot, the AC blows cold and it's really comfortable which makes your long trips and overnight stays really nice.We mainly used the boat in Lake Havasu and if we drank too much somewhere we would simply drop the anchor and spend the night where ever we were which avoids DUI's.
We just did a full service and this boat is prepped for anything, we bought a bigger boat and don't use this one anymore so it's someone else's turn...
This boat brand new would be over $800,000 and our reserve price is less than the cost of the drive train.
Please don't ask the reserve price, if your interested call me to ask questions, come see it and place a bid!
I have owned this boat for 10 years and its been very well taken care of.
I will have one of my guys deliver the boat anywhere in the US as part of the sale price.
