Default Spent the afternoon wrenching on my 454 big block
Another boating season comes to and end...<sigh>. Winterized her today so that's that.

Default Re: is that the 330? Really like those. Came close to buying but decided
to leave boating instead. Was not using enough to justify. Had a 454 Volvo DP in a Chris Craft.

Default Formula 280 Sunsport. The Sunsport line is so practical for how most people use boats
I am starting to hate the 25-32 foot boats that try to pack too much cabin on board. They end up tall and doofy looking and nobody spends time below deck anyway.

Default Cushion on dock is same as a fender. Sometimes it might leave a mark that is easily buffed off.
but the boat is/was only tied there for a few minutes of loading/unloading only. I keep it on a dry rack. It is lauched via forklift each time I want to use it and put right back on rack when I return. The dock in pick is the 'forking' area.

Default Re:Formula makes a great boat. The 280 and 330 have very usable space.
I was looking at used 330s since the cuddy gave just a bit more space for sleeping. Than reality set in and now I am without a boat, so sad...
