Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 270 Sun Sport 2010 vs Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 270 Sun Sport 2010 is a deep-V design and the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 measures 35,0 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 8,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 270 Sun Sport 2010 at 27,0 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 13 470 lbs - 7 270 lbs less than the Formula 270 Sun Sport 2010 at 6 200 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 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Formula 270 Sun Sport 2010 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water - it handles 10 passengers and at 35,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 270 Sun Sport 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
