  I had a tour of a Formula on our loop trip.  The detail on this boat was breathtaking.  Enjoy you new boat and do not be a stranger.

  Great looking boat!!! Enjoy her and be sure to pop in and say hi every once in a while. One thing that you have in common with us is the Merc engines and B3 drives. We can always help out if you have questions on them.

  @luckydog. Those 377s will last forever in that size boat - (I know Rinker owners with twin 377s in 350 Rinkers!!!!!)  - if you look after them, as I am sure you will. ....and 54mph certainly sounds right with those bad boys. Thank you for the pictures. I really like the cockpit lay-out, that's going to be fun to entertain in. The cabin below looks roomy, bright and clean. Speaking of clean the engines and engine bay look real clean too. A lot of friends have owner Formulas. Like Rinkers formulas were built to use - they have strong, fast hulls. BTW, can`t see if you posted the hour? Do you mind mentioning that - it sure looks in great shape. If the owner wasn't using Mercury full synthetic or semi synthetic oil and Mercury high Efficiency oil filters I'd put them on those 377s. has to be one of your best Christmasses ever. LOL
