The big posts may still be 8 ft apart. They just felt wider apart for some reason when I was there, but comments from camp guy suggests they used the same template on the piles. So you may still be...

The posts are further away from each other towards the end of the dock which can make finding the right spot and tying up a little tricky (depending on the size of your boat). I have a feeling this...

I agree if it’s not broke don’t fix it. That’s what I was leaning towards but really interesting to get everyone’s point of view. Some good points raised. Thanks.

I loke the red color a lot. Maybe it's just me but the color and graphics options on Formulas seem much more diverse compared to something like a Cobalt. As a result you are hard pressed to find 2...

Isn't that like all boats today? A modern "210" is actually a "190" with 2 feet of swim platform. It bugs me so much how brands do that today with their naming conventions.

I'm not sure a new prop set up would yield a big difference. The 8.2 with B3 out of the box is already a great pairing for that boat. What you've got here has more to do with the engineering/design...

I wouldn't be scared by preowned rental fleet boats. Just have the boat inspected by a 3rd party surveyor to be safe. 350-400$ to have the boat inspected could save you lots of money and hassle down...

Very nice boat style wise. I think the base engine is only 300hp though which I'm sure most on here would agree is leaving some to be desired for that size boat. Make sure you look at other boats in...
