how would we do such a thing?? was he involved at that point??
I haven't asked to speak with anyone, but from what chris said their really isn't much knowledge of the company before the mid 70's when it was bought. so these thunderbird era Juniors really have no...
i just heard back from Chris on the Jr in the show room. he says they purchased it just to put in the show room, as far as he knows there is no significance to this particular boat. the serial on it...
they don't really have any. I got some pictures of theirs from Chris at formula last summer. I sent him an email this morning asking about it and it's sn. he said the current owners of formula...
this is what the junior transformed into in 1970:
84681
that is an odd serial number because even the weight is different. listed as 1500lbs. All the others I've seen are 1200lbs.
are you sure that was an early junior, not the later one with the open...
that boat would have had an early electric shift OMC... these had external steering arms... which is what the hole is for on the port side. you don't have any exhaust holes on the back of that boat....
I can get confirmation on the factory showroom formula hull number. My understanding was that the people at formula are pretty much clueless on this era boat, including the one on the floor. I have...
I just looked at the for sale thread you put up! hull #2?? that would be F17 64 102 then?? my serial number is actually messed up believe it or not. they did it F17 56 109. I don't have a year with...
congrats sean! start a thread and put up some pictures! I want more details. :party:
Hey guys, I've still got my Junior and glad to see their has been more interest in these cool little boats! after pressure washing her and cleaning out all the gunk she is sitting covered nicely...
yes, both the Formula Jr and the Donzi have rounded keels You stated one was sharp and one was rounded. I only mention the Wynn Mill vs Wynn Mill II because they differ from each other in sharp Vs...
they both have rounded keels and they both have left hand controls. the Wynn Mill I has a sharp keel and the Wynn Mill II has a rounded.
IMO they are cousins. the way you are talking about the...
I'd have to agree with you on the last part... I wonder how long the negotiations were??
Aside from the rear deck area with the barrel back everything else is just a minor adjustment. they were evolutions of the same designs, by the same designers, meant to use the same driveline to...
Yes the lengths widths and strakes are all a bit different but to say they are completely different is a bit of a stretch. They are very similar boats.. just not copies like people claim.
I am...
thanks... I've spoken with a few Jr. owners and based on pictures we are guessing mine is a 65. I have a number plate and paperwork for mine but oddly enough none of it lists the actual year!
...
I have no good information on hull designs.. out of my wheelhouse. BUT... the earlier formula Jr. had a similar setup with the short inner strakes. user "Playin' Boats" posted up some GREAT shots of...
I have a question and I don't know if it should be posted here or not.... probably should have it's own thread... but I would like to interject with a question about Formula Boats and the Jr. Don...
yes, I will be shoring up the deck and making a very similar jig to hold it in place. ALL of the coring in the boat is gone. is balsa still the core of choice or is there something better out there??
I forgot to include the pics of what i'm starting with. theres some before and after pressurewash shots... it had a pullout 454 sitting in the cockpit area filling the bilge and floor with oil.
...
hey guys, I'm rebuilding a 1965 formula jr and before I start splitting the hull I would like some more reference pictures. as Formula Jr restorations are like hens teeth (I've spoken with just about...
WOW! I came in to see what's new and I find THIS!!! I bought almost the same boat this past summer. same color and stripped out just like in your pictures. mine hasn't changed other than getting a...
