Great looking boat. Congrats.

Just curious...why add drive showers? I've heard they can be necessary on Bravo 1's with a lot of HP, but why put them on a Bravo 3?

I am going to add one to my boat as well. The Bravo 3 is the hottest running drive in Merc's lineup.

Congrats on your Formula purchase. Our paths may cross sometime this summer as we typically boat over in your area (Lake St. Clair Metropark, MacRays and Bouvier Bridge Marina) a couple of times each summer.

Have fun,
Mike.

Bingo! This has been the #1 recommended thing I have heard from everyone I have spoken to about these boats. Esp with an older bravo 3 drive. Ordered from http://www.driveshowers.com/


Thanks everyone!

Wow congrats! What a beauty! I've always loved Formula's designs, they are truly a timeless boat.

That's an awesome boat! I really wanted to pull the trigger on a Formula 330, but decided I needed more of an express cruiser.

I can see why you're so excited for summer. That boat will get you around Lake St. Clair in fine fashion. Enjoy!!
