Nice!! I was born in Florida, great winter boating there. Is that a 28 Skater with outboards? :)

Actually we're coming into our boat season here next month, but if you've lived here before you know that it's the best time of the year to boat, not to hot and sunny and beautiful.....................it's either a 30-32' and it's a Spectre, I think it's a 2012, but I know it has twin 300s, it's a beautiful boat.

We live in Cape Coral (next to Ft. Myers) it was quite the experience coming down here a year ago and start open water boating for the first time in my life, yes, it's a all white 353 Formula, it was a year old when I bought it ten years ago, it's got twin 502s and before I had it shipped down here I had both top ends rebuilt and had closed cooling systems installed with fresh water flush-outs on it to keep the crap out of as much of it as I could.

I had a custom carbon fiber dash made and installed a new Garmin GPS in the dash, which is a must down here, the boat is back behind the house, we're about 30 minute idle from the Gulf.

Harpoon Harry's is due North about 50 miles from the Cape.

Thanks, I had to have the whole dock and lift (14k lb) re-built to hold the Formula.

I've been looking, all you guys got some sweet stuff too.
