the Honda Formula boat is the earlier and smaller version cougar made before the sportracer (and the R8 rib) with 225hp.

The thunderbolt was mental, especially with that 90 on the back

I dig the Highfield and especially the Caesar!

Cool collection of boats to enjoy, I'm jealous.

I like the Distress Situation Sticker. Did you have it made up or did you buy it somewhere? I teach my family but they struggle to remember. Would love to have that in case something ever happens to me so they can easily find it.

For some reason the pics are extra large and clipping on my screen so I can't see the whole photo on some of them. Are these fairly large?

It's the update that Tapatalk has done , images via their app are now cropping on the forum.
If we can all refrain from posting pics from Tapatalk for now pls, we'll try and find a fix

Thanks

That Highfield I used was a nice rib. It was I believe the 590 with a 135 on the transom. They are well worth a look at if you want a rib in that price bracket
