Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 vs Formula 45 Yacht 2011 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 against a deep vee Formula 45 Yacht 2011 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 45 Yacht 2011 measures 45,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 at 35,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 1 347 lbs — 1 022 lbs more than the Formula 45 Yacht 2011 at 325 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.
The Formula 45 Yacht 2011 tops out at 600 hp. Engine specs for the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 carries 172 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Formula 45 Yacht 2011. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Formula 45 Yacht 2011 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 caps at 10. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 45 Yacht 2011 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 45 Yacht 2011 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 13 passengers and at 45,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 350 Crossover Bowrider 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 10 that costs less to run day-to-day.
