Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 260 Sun Sport 2007 vs Formula 382 FASTech 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 260 Sun Sport 2007 vs Formula 382 FASTech 2010 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Formula 382 FASTech 2010 measures 38,2 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 10,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 260 Sun Sport 2007 at 28,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 382 FASTech 2010 tips the scales at 1 045 lbs — 988 lbs less than the Formula 260 Sun Sport 2007 at 57 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 382 FASTech 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 260 Sun Sport 2007 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 382 FASTech 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 382 FASTech 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,2 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 260 Sun Sport 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
