Before there were crossovers and big bowriders, Formula introduced the 37 Performance Cruiser. She blends a wave-taming deep-V hull powered by twin big-block sterndrives with a luxurious cockpit and cabin that pamper two couples on a weekend getaway. How about a week on the islands? More...
The 275SD is one of the largest jetboats in class at 27’ (8.23 m) long. She’s powered by twin 250-hp supercharged marine engines connected to jets. All on board systems are controlled by a 12.3” (31.24 cm) Connext touchscreen. Swim-up stern seats will be a hit at the sandbar. More...
The steel-hulled Linssen Grand Sturdy 45.0 AC is a ruggedly built displacement-speed cruiser that is well-suited to make the Great Loop – and maybe a loop far greater than that. Her low CG and cozy wood-finished interior make her inviting even in a blow. We could also see her cruising coastal New England and up to Labrador or making the Inside Passage to Alaska. She’s a stable craft with a low center of gravity that can handle less-than-ideal conditions. Some owners might consider taking delivery and cruising Europe’s canals and rivers for a couple of seasons before bringing her to North America. Linssen also runs a charter service for its boat owners in Europe. More...
The Draco 22 is designed as a day boat with deep freeboard from bow to stern, a large bow seating area and a convertible cockpit lounge. Power is a single outboard up to 250 hp and her blunt bow and deep-V bottom cut through waves when the winds pick up. More...
