2005 Formula 260 Bowrider

Slide behind the helm and you’ll notice how solid this 260 feels—Formula’s deep‑V hull loves a bit of chop and carves confidently when you lean on the wheel. The helm layout is classic Formula: crisp gauges, tilt wheel, and throttles right where your hand expects them. The bow seating is deeper than many 26‑footers, so guests ride secure even when you open her up. Under the seats and in the sole you’ll find those trademark, finished lockers that keep gear dry and organized. At anchor, the boat settles nicely off the stern thanks to her beam and weight, making swim sessions and lazy raft‑ups far more relaxing than on lighter runabouts.

A 26-foot bowrider with Formula’s offshore heritage is an ideal match for the varied conditions you’ll find here. The deep‑V hull softens wind chop and passing wakes, so afternoon runs stay comfortable even when the breeze picks up. With her wide beam and substantial weight, this 260 tracks straight on longer cruises while still being nimble around docks and moorings. The roomy cockpit and generous bow let you host a crowd without everyone stacked on top of each other, and the enclosed head makes longer days on the water practical. It’s a size that’s easy to manage, yet big enough to feel confident when the water gets lively.
