Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 37 Cruiser 2011 vs Formula Boats 45 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 37 Cruiser 2011 vs Formula Boats 45 2010 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.
The Formula Boats 45 2010 tops out at 435 hp. Engine specs for the Formula 37 Cruiser 2011 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Formula 37 Cruiser 2011 carries 236 gallons versus 35 gallons in the Formula Boats 45 2010. 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 Boats 45 2010 is rated for 13 passengers, while the Formula 37 Cruiser 2011 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula Boats 45 2010 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula Boats 45 2010 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 37 Cruiser 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
