Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
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.
