Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 37 Cruiser 2012 vs Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 37 Cruiser 2012 vs Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003 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 292 FASTech 2003 tops out at 257 hp. Engine specs for the Formula 37 Cruiser 2012 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Formula 37 Cruiser 2012 carries 236 gallons versus 113 gallons in the Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003. 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 37 Cruiser 2012 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 37 Cruiser 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 37 Cruiser 2012 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 Boats 292 FASTech 2003 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
