Codeman671; No, I repeat, no electronics were installed on that 370SS. I saw that boat before its launch.

jrc; You really need to check your facts. As in automobiles, you get the power you are willing to pay for no matter what the brand. It is not at all uncommon to find standard small block Chevy/Mercruiser engines in SS, Bowrider and some Cruiser Formulas. Power in these boats is determined by the size and weight of the boat, not merely speed. Despite what you may think, performance in high quality boats is also measured as a boat's handling and ride in heavy water conditions. For example, semi V bottom boats are much less expensive to design and build than true deep V bottom boats which results in much improved overall performance. Although Sea Rays, Four Winds and the like are good boats, never compare them to very high quality boats that perform like Cobalt, Tiara and Formula. To anyone who really knows boats they know these boat manufacturers are in a different league in all respects. Why do you think PBM wanted Formula quality??

Boat, RV, etc. factory financing has been gone for several years as the big banks are currently unwilling to offer special financing packages. Tried to borrow any large amounts of money lately??

As for your 41 foot cruiser, sorry Formula only builds a 40 footer with a base price of $621k. As long as it is a Formula, you should buy it from the dealer with the best price and service.

Finally, if you can't see then you should have purchased electronics on your 41 foot cruiser.
