I have a 23 formula hull in need of complete restoration.It was/is fitted with twin Volvo 110 outdrive setups.Pretty much everything but the hull is shot...will need stringers,floor,transom,etc.,but would make a nice project for someone with more time than sense.Not me.Call or pm if interested,free for the taking,Chris

That seems like a pretty big pain in the a$$ for a free boat lol. And crossing the boarder etc...probably best if I find something up here. But I do love those classic lines!!

Probably no HIN # but with 110's I'd assume that it was 1960's vintage? That's way before I was born but I believe that the 233 was Don Aronow's first major hull. Classic lines still.

I'm pretty sure you're right about it being an Aronow hull,1966 probably...

That makes sense. The Ad you posted has what I believe is the "Thunderbird" logo which was 1965/1966 just after Don sold Formula.

I think the original 233 race boat was called "cigarette"...which obviously was sorta big for old Don lol. It would be a very cool project lol.
