Nice boat, but no diesel option will kill it in the UK I think. There has been a previous model (or may be a 31) for sale in Wales for ages with no takers. I briefly considered a re-engine when I was looking for a fast day boat, but the sums didn't add up, plus I didn't really want the hassle.

Mmmm.... 2 screws and 640 hps needed to get 50kts on a 29', and they call it a "high performance" boat?
Not up to Formula reputation, methink.

yes but the Sun Sport is not there faster series too

for more speed with the same hp you better have a look at the FastTech range which starts with the 292
I think you to remember you add an extra 10/12 knots there with the Mags 377, thanks to less weight and a two stepped hull

Yup I know.
And that's fairenuff, but then again why call this "high performance"?
"Gas guzzler" is more like it...
