I am a employee at Thunderbird. I work in the wood shop. You see me for a split second in this video. It’s a great atmosphere and a great place to work. Our team does a great job making state of the art boats.

I have visited 7 facilities of boat works. This is the highest level of quality and professionalism I have seen thus far. Amazing to see dedication and focus taken to this level. I am certain it translates to the products, one boat at a time.

As a proud owner of a 370SS, I couldn’t be more pleased in the exceptional quality, excellent performance and fitment. Formula really delivers!

What makes me amazed is how they know how the weight of everything in the boat is so balanced all the way to the water line

As a former production worker at Formula, I feel that the work ethic has been ingrained in my DNA. I now work at health clinics, and I keep that same drive for excellence, that the Porter Family has instilled on

Impressive 👍 complex building boats nowadays. Knew Scott Poole from racing years ago. My race partner used to sell a bunch of formula boats.

Enjoyed the tour of Formula boats factory. Only thing that was funny to me was Pat Laux, operations manager, did not seem to know the employees that talked on camera. They have worked there a long time. This is just an observation. Not meant to be mean.

Formula make one of the best quality boats that balance between style, comfort and performance. I was disappointed to see them switch to Ilmor instead of mercs in recent years though

Surprised that none of the workers in the mold room doing layups are wearing at least particle masks. There may be excellent ventilation for the fumes off of the resin, but there are still small particles of fiberglass floating around

Today, most facilities at this level have whole building ventilation/exhaust systems that negate the mandate for PPE/mask/respirator systems. Lowers liability insurance as well.

Why aren’t the hulls resin infused? 🤔Would provide ideal resin to glass ratio and reduce overall weight.

Was wondering the same. Kind of crazy in 2022 they aren't. I'd expect a company like this to also offer carbon layups as well as an option.

Well, this was mostly a factory tour describing the current build process - but we did produce a full episode on the history of Formula Boats with our sister brand YachtWorld in which we delve into Don Aronow's early involvement with Formula and how the Porter family eventually took over the brand.
