Unheard of entertaining space and amenities.

Twenty years ago, did you ever imagine we’d be showcasing a 50-foot-long bowrider with quintuple Mercury Racing 400Rs?

Welcome to the Crossover Bowrider revolution, pioneered by Formula. Flying the flagship moniker is the 500 Super Sport Crossover (SSC).

Technology reaches a zenith with digital switching, wireless iPad control, Raymarine open-array radar, dual Axiom XL 24-inch color chartplotters and a FLIR thermal camera. Get ready to party with an 800W amplification Rockford Fosgate stereo delivering music through 16 JL Audio multicolor LED, chrome-finished speakers.

The 500’s SmartZone design’s seven distinct seating areas optimize every square inch of the boat. A fiberglass hardtop protects the spacious salon from the elements, augmented by cooling and heat systems throughout. Of course, there are coolers aboard, but at 50 feet you deserve more, like the optional 26-bottle dual-zone wine coolers, a concealed power lift 65-inch TV and a full-width motorized glass bulkhead system.

Onboard is a galley ready for primetime on the Food Network. A chef-inspired U-shaped kitchen features an expansive bi-level Corian countertop, a dual-drawer stainless VitriFrigo pullout fridge, a two-burner range and a convection microwave.

Aft seating easily converts into loungers, while the 500’s swim platform with side extensions make it easy for swimmers to towel off. At the bow, forward-facing triple-wide lounges with fold-up armrests give sure support. There’s a bow sunshade and two electrically actuated tables with filler cushions.

Exploring the cabin is up to you. With 6 feet, 7 inches of headroom, a motorized blind system, a forward window with electronic privacy smart glass, an enclosed head, a well-appointed aft stateroom and a full sofa lounge that rivals any land-side penthouse, need I say more?
