Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 240 Bowrider 2007 vs Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 240 Bowrider 2007 vs Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Formula 240 Bowrider 2007 at 24,0 ft versus Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 at 24,0 ft. At 5 lbs and 5 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats are rated for 7 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
Bottom line: The Formula 240 Bowrider 2007 and Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
