2004 Formula 40 PC

Step aboard and you’ll notice how Formula squeezed big-boat presence into a hull that still feels nimble around the docks. The deep, secure side decks and stout rails make line handling and anchoring feel controlled, even when it’s lumpy outside. At the helm, the sightlines are excellent whether you’re running on plane or easing into a tight slip, and the heavy-duty windshield keeps the breeze civil. Below, the solid joinery, real hardware, and smart storage show this is a boat built for years of use, not a single season. When the sun goes down, the cockpit lighting and roomy transom platform turn into a natural gathering spot for sunset drinks or a late swim.

In these waters, conditions can jump from glassy to choppy in a single outing, and the 40 PC’s deep-V hull and diesel torque are well-suited to that kind of mood swing. The boat’s size gives you the confidence to stretch your cruising range, yet it’s still manageable for an owner-operator threading busy fairways and tight marinas. Generous tankage and efficient diesels mean fewer fuel stops on longer runs to quieter anchorages. When afternoon thunderstorms roll through, the enclosed helm and robust canvas keep the crew dry, while the comfortable cabin and reliable systems make it easy to wait out weather and stay aboard for the weekend.
