Formula 292 FASTECH 2006 vs Formula 370 FX7 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 292 FASTECH 2006 vs Formula 370 FX7 2013 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 370 FX7 2013 measures 38,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 9,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 292 FASTECH 2006 at 29,0 feet (2006). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 370 FX7 2013 tips the scales at 151 lbs — 144 lbs less than the Formula 292 FASTECH 2006 at 7 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 370 FX7 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 292 FASTECH 2006 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 370 FX7 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 370 FX7 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 292 FASTECH 2006 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
