Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 vs Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 and the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 measures 34,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 at 24,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 tips the scales at 1 095 lbs — 1 090 lbs less than the Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 caps at 7. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 240 Sun Sport 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 7 that costs less to run day-to-day.
