How do you do all this stuff so quickly.. dam. I wish you lived closer to me.. you would make a LOT of money in the keys with how fast you work and with the quality you produce.

Very nice @javhav !! I’m jealous !! 

Did you sell the Rinker?
What projects do you have planned for the Formula?

LaRea

Oh man, that boat has @javhav written all over it!  But it looks to be in perfect condition.  What are you doing to it?

javhav

@aero3113 thanks 😄no I didn't sell the rinker yet but hopefully soon  so for the formula I'm thinking paint exterior needs new seating redoing the engines new props check izopods new gen bar set up ice maker new pumps pretty much anything I think needs replacing and tons of led lighting I don't know if I'll do progress pic here though

Nice formula! What does it have? Volvo D6 435s? Would love to see the progress here. If not post a link to where you do post.

javhav

@Liberty44140 yes sir d6 not sure we're to post on here or if formula has a page like this one

javhav

@LaRea looks good in the video but not in person lol

Liberty44140

I have the same engines but 370s. Great engines. Hopefully formula has a good site, cruisers site is all but dead, glad they let me stick around here. Boatdiesel.com is hit or miss on D6 depending on your need but with 2018 you shouldn’t need more than clean outs, filters, etc…. Easy maintenance. I’ve done most of that myself if you have any questions. 

Liberty44140

Your fuel economy should be similar to the 342.

YYZRC

It looks to be in great shape but what’s with all the plastic? Was it used in the new season of Dexter??

aero3113

Crazy it needs that much work for a 2018. Going to be a nice upgrade for you and your friends 😎.

Start a new thread for this project we don't care what brand it is we just like boat projects.

The Formula boats forum is not nearly as good as this one. Most of the people that own a Formula seem to pay the dealer to do their work. There are some that do their own maintenance and such but you wont find them pulling apart their pod drives to do some service! The Formula customer service & parts is second to none though. Great support and good people

I think we ALL can agree here, we would LOVE to watch your progress on this boat. Rinker or not......we all love boats!  And you are great at fixing them up.  Please post it here.  Might as well just keep adding to this thread 

J3ff

You must never sleep, between work and playing w/ this stuff. A true animal at boats.

GMSLITHO

Good luck with it beautiful boat
