2004 Formula 260 Bowrider with newer Mercruiser 383 Stroker complete drop-in crate motor and new transom assembly
One-Owner | Pristine Condition
If you're in the market for a premium Formula Bowrider, this meticulously maintained 260 BR deserves your serious attention. She's been babied her whole life by the original owner-it's truly turn-key and shows extremely well inside and out.
Always flushed, covered, and serviced year-round, the interior and exterior remain in excellent, near-mint condition. Bring your spouse, your mechanic, and your checklist-you'll be impressed.
