Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 vs Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 vs Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 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.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 at 34,3 ft versus Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 at 37,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 tips the scales at 1 691 lbs — 1 547 lbs more than the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 at 144 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 Super Sport 2005 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 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 34 Cruiser 2012 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 34 Cruiser 2012 vs Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 or the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005?
The Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 is the longer of the two at 37,0 feet overall. The Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 comes in at 34,3 feet, making it roughly 2,8 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 or the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005?
For trailering, the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 has the edge at 144 lbs dry weight versus 1 691 lbs for the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012. 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 34 Cruiser 2012 is Coast Guard rated for 10 passengers, while the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 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 34 Cruiser 2012 measures 138" wide, compared to 126" for the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005. 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 34 Cruiser 2012 or the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005?
The Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 has the bigger tank at 238 gallons, versus 206 gallons on the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012. That 32-gallon difference translates to roughly 96–160 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 and Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Formula 34 Cruiser 2012 and the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 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.
