Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 27 PC 2013 vs Formula 330 Sun Sport 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 27 PC 2013 vs Formula 330 Sun Sport 2005 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 330 Sun Sport 2005 measures 33,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 4,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 27 PC 2013 at 28,2 feet (2013). At 95 lbs and 97 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Formula 330 Sun Sport 2005 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Formula 27 PC 2013 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 33,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 27 PC 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
