Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 vs Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 against a modified vee Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely 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 400 Super Sport 2012 measures 41,5 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 7,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 at 34,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 330 Sun Sport 2008 tips the scales at 1 095 lbs — 914 lbs more than the Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 at 181 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 400 Super Sport 2012 is rated for 12 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 400 Super Sport 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 41,5 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.
