Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 240 Sun Sport 2010 vs Formula 260 Sun Sport 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 240 Sun Sport 2010 vs Formula 260 Sun Sport 2006 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 Sun Sport 2010 at 24,0 ft versus Formula 260 Sun Sport 2006 at 26,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 260 Sun Sport 2006 tips the scales at 545 lbs — 540 lbs less than the Formula 240 Sun Sport 2010 at 5 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
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 Sun Sport 2010 and Formula 260 Sun Sport 2006 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.
