With the larger model, the manufacturer will serve a slightly different market with different aspirations and have a place to go for owners of the N41 who want to trade up. The N51 will be built on a production basis with set plans and equipment lists, which will virtually eliminate costly semi-custom builds. This should streamline the build time and keep costs down, but she will still be built to the highest standards for long-range cruising, according to the company.

The standard equipment list includes a joystick, chartplotter and trim tabs with LED indicators at the helm, for starters. Then, there are the two days the painted hull sides are typically compounded and buffed to give a Formula a gloss like no other boat in class that we’ve tested. In fact, more hours are devoted to compounding and buffing than the painting itself.

For a nationally advertised price of $19,995, she comes with a 60-hp FourStroke Mercury outboard, a trailer with a swing-away tongue and jack, a speedometer with built-in trim and fuel gauges and quite possibly the most used instrument in a dash panel, a depthfinder.

These engines accounted for more than $400 million in retail sales last year, yet most consumers really don’t know the details of what they bought – and didn’t buy. That’s the beauty of BoatTEST’s Buyers’ Guide to Outboard Engines. For example, one of the engines above generates 67% more Amps than some of the others. Which one is it? One engine has a gear ratio that is 31% higher than some others. Which one is it?
