The 2002 Formula 156, cutaways?

k.lauman · 27th March 2010, 04:45 AM

I'm buying a used 2002 156 Formula d-ram, unfortunately the seller (and the 2002 starboard website) only had pics of the deck, leaving the hull design a mystery. What were the rocker and cutaways like on that year's model?

It also has repairs, or at least new paint, around the fin box area on the deck.

Should I be cautious of this in a used formula?

Hi K.lauman,

Hum difficult to know if they fix correctly the fin box.

At this time I will recommend you the Fomula Experience 160 who is quiet cheap and with more performance than this models

Hope this help

All the best

"It also has repairs, or at least new paint, around the fin box area on the deck. Should I be cautious of this in a used formula?"

Could be a bad fin box repair, not secure, wrong angle etc. Last thing you need is to be out at sea and the fin box to break again

Plus a hammered 8-year old board might have "soft spots" in the deck. View the board in the flesh to see its real condition, might be a really good one. But, if in doubt, walk away.
