2004 Formula 40 Performance Cruiser, DKK 895,000

Formula Boats is a renowned American boatyard with more than 60 years of history and a strong reputation for quality, performance and style. Founded in 1962 by legendary offshore designer Don Aronow in Miami, Florida, the yard quickly became known for its deep-V hulls that handle rough water with superior seaworthiness and impressive speed potential. This design principle lives on in many of the modern Formula models.

Over the years, Formula has evolved from a pure race boat manufacturer to building luxurious performance cruisers with advanced technology, solid construction and elegant finishes. Today, the boats are produced by Thunderbird Products in Decatur, Indiana, where the Porter family continues the shipyard legacy of uncompromising quality control and attention to detail.

The Formula 40 Performance Cruiser (40 PC) is one of the shipyard's iconic cruiser models - an accomplished combination of sporty performance and comfortable cabin experience.

The boat is designed to deliver an engaging and stable ride, with the deep V-hull cutting safely through the waves, while the cockpit and below deck offer plenty of comfort and practicality for longer trips or weekends on the water.

With its large, social cockpit, thoughtful layout and spacious cabin, the 40 PC is an ideal boat for family use, coastal cruising or longer weekend trips with friends.

This well-maintained Formula 40 Performance Cruiser from 2004 is in the indoor hall and ready for viewing.
