A fresh take on a classic design.
by Craig Ritchie
The Formula 310 Bowrider is proof that great things don’t strictly come in small packages.
With plenty of space and a luxurious, newly updated interior, Formula’s flagship bowrider balances lavish appointments with legendary performance.
“The 310 Bowrider is an extremely versatile boat with its molded wet bar, standard head, generous swim platform and all-new seating,” says Scott Smith, marketing manager for Formula Boats. “But it retains the same legendary Formula performance, allowing it to take on Big Water and still deliver a comfortable ride.”
Modular seating in the bow offers plenty of room to stretch out in a space that can be easily converted to a large sunpad. In the aft cockpit, an inviting wraparound U-shaped seat faces to port, allowing easy passage through the boat without anyone needing to move. A split seatback cushion allows portions of the transom seat to face forward, aft, or lie flat to extend the rear sunpad. Similar split rear seatbacks on the double-wide helm seat, plus a full-length portside lounger, create an interior with tremendous versatility.
A full head compartment in the portside console — complete with a color-coordinated molded wet bar with integrated faucet and sink, Corian countertop and either a 30-quart Igloo cooler or an available refrigerator — provides all-day comfort.
Out back, an available extended swim platform features soft-touch surface and integrated beverage holders, making it the perfect spot to hang out and enjoy the summer sun. The optional stainless Sport Arch includes a wakeboard pin, attesting to the 310 Bowrider’s incredible versatility as an all-day family boat.
A range of engine choices deliver the Formula 310 Bowrider’s legendary performance with nimble handling, a quick hole shot, a 50 mph top speed and a range of up to nearly 200 miles between gas docks. The helm is highlighted with a leather-wrapped tilt wheel, Livorsi chromed shifts/throttles and a 400-watt Clarion AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity.
Throughout, the fit and finish are classic Formula, from the beautiful upholstery work to the glistening shine of its Imron gelcoat finish. Thoughtful touches and the kind of design sense that only results from spending time on the water make this a boat everyone can enjoy.
