I compiled a spread sheet recently of popular Formula "Long Deck" models from the 70's and 80's and found some interesting similarities:
Formula Model Comparison
Model Years Built Length Weight (T-260) Draft Fuel Cap Bridge Clearance
272LS 84- 27'-2" 5750 3'-0" 135 5'-1"
255 Liberator 76-82 25'-5" 5622 3'-0" 125 5'-1"
242LS 84-88 24'-2" 5325 3'-2" 100 4'-10"
233 Interceptor 78-83 23'-3" 5100 3'-0" 80 4'-10"
I was especially surprised how close the 255 Liberator and the 272 LS are in weight.
FYI...just a bit of interesting Formula History and trivia. All fact and figures are from published Thunderbird/Formula data.
I tried to get the columns to line up but can't for some reason. Sorry about the format...I have this in xl but xl is not one of the allowable file formats we can attach.
