    2007 Formula 31 PC

    Unscathed by Sandy and loaded with options: http://www.yachtworld.com/boats/2007/Formula-31-PC-2523292/Freeport/NY/United-States I am the original owner who had the boat custom built in the winter of 200/62007.

    Waste Tank Vent Filter on '07 31 PC

    What the heck was Formula thinking? After twisting myself into a pretzel to get a good look from the engines room up into the gunnels, I located the darn thing outboard of the fuel tank. While I was (barely) able to get it out of the mount there's absolutely no way that I can imagine getting...

    DirecTV Installation Question

    Does anyone have any advice on how to retrofit DirecTV on to a '07 31PC? I am thinking I would go with a permanent dish for the dock and a Winegard RD-9046 folding dish when on the 'road' and docked. So far so good. Where I start to run into trouble is when I am trying to noodle through how I am...
