    Congrats on your new project.
    Formula Jr.s are great little close cousins to the Donzi 16. Very similar designs by the same boat desiger.

    Do a forum search here on the search function above for threads on "formula jr" .
    There are quite a few guys who have posted interesting threads on these great little speedboats.
    Quite a few of these Forsmula Jr. boats have popped-up on the forum the last few years.

    I also hope you have the entire complete Eaton outdrive~~~as parts, & complete old original first generation Eaton outdrives, are very tough to find today.

    Keep us updated on your Formula Jr. project.
    Good Luck !

    Love those little boats. Got a guy local that has one in much worse shape that wants a lot more then you paid. If he ever comes down I'll kick it to the front of the line and restore it.
    A winner is just a loser that got up and did it one more time.

    good luck on the project if you have any Holman Moody numbers I can try and decipher for you. block casting numbers would help as well. the interceptor also came in a ford 260 the timing chain cover usually has the interceptor serial number

    To my knowledge H/M never used the series 16 eaton or the interceptor badged risers
    When the sky is grey,look out to sea.
    When the waves are high and the light is dying,
    well raise a glass and think of me...
    When I'm home again,
    boys, I'll be buying!

    Formula jr

    I have a 65 Formula JR that I am looking to sell. Not sure where to list this and would like some help? It was modified to use an outboard. I will upload pics. Let me know your thoughts? I love the boat but to many projects right now
