Formula 370 SS w/Twin Ilmor One Drives:
Premium Sport Boat & Innovative Propulsion
The Formula 370 SS with the twin Ilmor 483-hp 7.4 liter V8 engines linked to One Drive sterndrives delivered a brisk 53.7 mph in our test runs with this 21-degree stepped hull; fast indeed, considering a test weight of almost 17,000 lbs. (7,711 kg). (Company tests with the same package, lightly loaded, reached 56.7 mph.) A/C and heat are standard, and vents at the helm are included. Like all Formulas, she includes the high-grade finish of hull paint and polish.

Evinrude E-TEC G2 250 H.O:
Advanced Technology in a
Low-Maintenance 2-Stroke
Built-in digital steering and tilt and trim allow for a clean and compact installation of the Evinrude E-TEC G2 250 H.O., as well as keeping components protected from salt spray. The efficient two-stroke H.O. model puts out up to 275-hp. No scheduled maintenance is required for 5 years or 500 hours, so the cost of operating an Evinrude is much lower than most 4-stroke engines.

Rigged for Fishing and Family
The Robalo R302 shows upgraded features including wraparound bow seating with built-in backrests for forward-facing lounging. The roomy cockpit is rigged with a corner livewell and tackle station on the leaning post. Our test captain liked what he saw at a 30 mph cruise at 3500 rpm, and a top speed of more than 55 mph.

Captain's Report
SUN TRACKER® FISHIN' BARGE® 22 XP3:
Family-Friendly Fishing Platform Carries 10
The SUN TRACKER® FISHIN' BARGE® 22 XP3 is an easy way to get a large family out on the water, with a base price of $30,355 including the standard Mercury Pro XS 115. She rides on three 26" diameter welded aluminum tubes with lifting strakes, which should give her a faster and more solid ride than economy pontoons that ride on only two tubes. Swiveling fishing seats, aerated baitwells, and bow and stern rod racks provide plenty of angling positions, and a standard Bimini provides shade at lunchtime.
Read about all of her features here.
