Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 vs Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 — A Close Look at Two Deep Vees

When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 and the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 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?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 at 34,0 ft versus Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 at 37,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 tips the scales at 1 095 lbs — 906 lbs more than the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 at 189 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 37 Cruiser 2010 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 vs Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 or the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010?
The Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 is the longer of the two at 37,0 feet overall. The Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 comes in at 34,0 feet, making it roughly 3,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 or the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010?
For trailering, the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 has the edge at 189 lbs dry weight versus 1 095 lbs for the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 is certified for 11. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 measures 144" wide, compared to 122" for the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 or the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010?
The Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 has the bigger tank at 236 gallons, versus 16 gallons on the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008. That 220-gallon difference translates to roughly 660–1100 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 and Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 and the Formula 37 Cruiser 2010 are built by Formula. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
