When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 and the Formula 350 Sun Sport 2008 are modified 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 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 at 35,0 ft versus Formula 350 Sun Sport 2008 at 35,0 ft. At 1 347 lbs and 1 295 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

Both boats are rated for 10 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
