Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 350 Sun Sport 2012 vs Formula 370 FX7 2013 — Which Deep Vee Fits Your Needs?
When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Formula 350 Sun Sport 2012 and the Formula 370 FX7 2013 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?
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Formula 370 FX7 2013 measures 38,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 3,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 350 Sun Sport 2012 at 35,0 feet (2012). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 350 Sun Sport 2012 tips the scales at 1 347 lbs — 1 196 lbs more than the Formula 370 FX7 2013 at 151 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 FX7 2013 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 350 Sun Sport 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 FX7 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 370 FX7 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 350 Sun Sport 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.
