1996 Thunderbird, Falcon 2500 CD, makers of Formula Boats.This beautiful 25 foot boat is nicely equipped with a 454 cubic inch Mercruiser with Bravo 3 Outdrive with twin props. With only 393 hours, the engine was recently upgraded with aluminum heads, roller rockers, aluminum intake, Holley Carb, Thru-Hull exhaust making it lighter, louder, and faster. This boat is a wonderful combination of go-fast and family fun. She will run all day long at 50+ mph or you can take the family out for a day cruise, tubing skiing or whatever your pleasure may be. This is by far the smoothest riding boat that I have ever had the pleasure of owning.
She is rated for 10 people with a comfortable seating arrangement and cuddy cabin. Amenities include a porta-pottie, a cockpit sink and on-board water storage compartment. There is lots of under-seat storage for gear and lifejackets, a bow compartment for anchor, and swim platform storage compartment for tow ropes. The walk-thru windshield makes for easy bow access.
This boat is also equipped with a twin battery set-up and control switch, Alpine AM/FM Stereo/CD Player.
Included is a cockpit cover, Bimini top, custom-made full boat storage cover, and anchor with bow line.
Also included in this sale is the 1998 Shorelandr Trailer, with recent brake service, Bearing Buddies for easy lubrication and good working lights. Trailer tie-downs are also included.
The trailer is in nice condition and road-ready. For reference, this boat and trailer pulled easily behind an Escalade.
The boat engine has had a fresh oil and filter change, all navigation lights and is water ready.
At the time of this listing, the boat has 393 hours as seen in the photos. However, the boating season is here and I may take her out from time to time and additional hours should be expected.
I keep this boat in very good operating condition, but due to the age of the boat I cannot offer any type of warranty. Please ask questions before you bid, if you bid you must buy.The downsides:
There has been some cockpit upholstery repairs done in the past and the white is not a perfect match (as seen in photos). There are some chips and scratches in the gel-coat, and some touch up here and there on the boat and trailer as can be expected on a boat of this age.
However, this boat still has a nice shine, looks good and gets a lot of compliments on the water.
I am selling only because I am looking at buying a Donzi (My wife said that I have to sell this one first.)
Thank you for considering this for your next boat.
Questions
Wondering if your boat is still for sale?
I am interested in this boat. I’m in Des Moines. I could come look at it whenever works for you. I’ve got a 94 open bow 350 merc. Let me know. Thank you. ***
