Formula 400 Super Sport (2010-)
2 x 370-hp Volvo Penta D6
Brief Summary
We tested it first! The Volvo Penta Sterndrive Joystick has been installed for the first time in a production powerboat and BoatTEST was there it see how well it works and to bring you the video results. The test boat was a 2010 Formula 400 SS with twin Volvo Penta 370-hp D6 diesels, so not only did we want to see how the new Formula performed, we also wanted to check out the new system and see how well it handled in close quarters... and remember, no bow or stern thruster this time. It’s all independently steered outdrives. We also check out the full performance figures and see what sort of economy you can expect from this 17,000+ lb (7,711 kg) boat.
