Formula 457 CCF: A CC w/ world-class "fishability" & luxurious amenities, and we don't use that word lightly.
Hello Boater
New Formula 457 CCF:
Fishy Sophistication
WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE THINK OF THIS BEFORE? Homo sapiens put a man on the moon before it put wheels on a suitcase. Likewise, over the course of 60 years, well over 100 center console-makers duplicated each other's boats with minute changes (Intrepid's 1994 side door innovation, notwithstanding) -- the result being center consoles were pretty much the same for 6 decades. Then, in 2022, Formula Boats introduced the 387 CCS, and a little later, the 387 CCF, and proved that not only could a center console have world-class "fishability" -- but also comfortable seating for a large family or group of fishing buddies and luxurious amenities. With the new 457 Center Console Fish, Formula took a big step up in size and features.

Right Women/Right Boat According to the folks at RightBoat.com -- a relatively new boating classified website -- they have seen in increase in female boat searchers from 13% to 24% in the last 7 years. That's a remarkable increase in female traffic and mirrors a trend in the U.S. to more women skippers.
