Lakeport Landing will be able to order for customers boats from Formula and will have access to all other Formula products and services. This is obviously the result of a great relationship that has lasted for more than thirty years and had nothing to do with the very unfortunate Diamond Island accident.

This is a great opportunity for the Paugus Bay Marina, Lakeport Landing and Formula itself to keep the various Formula models as one of the preeminent quality boat lines on Winnipesaukee. Please wish all concerned your best.

IMHO you are insulting the intelligence of quite a few forum members by coming on here and trying to convince us that Formula didn’t make their business decision based on the publicity that Eric Blizzard has had in the past few years. Good try though!

Seems to me that you are doing the same thing.

You are exactly right "chipj29" , my comments hold about the same credibility as "Bentley Boy" comments do. The only people who really know why this move was made are the owners of Formula.

That makes no sense at all.If that was the case Formula would have severed ALL ties to Lakeport Marina.Why have any connection then?

Your post makes the most sense so far.

This makes no sense! Why have 2 dealers within such a close proximity? I can certainly understand why Formula would cut ties, but being that they have not completely done it just seems odd unless this is some sort of gradual phase-out since Lakeport does not have any other lines they represent.

My old Italian Grandmother had a saying she used very frequently. She used to say "If you do bad things, bad things happen to you."

What part of the post insulted your intelligence?

This part?
