Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 37 PC 2013 vs Formula 400 Super Sport 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Formula 37 PC 2013 against a modified vee Formula 400 Super Sport 2013 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 400 Super Sport 2013 measures 41,5 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 37 PC 2013 at 37,0 feet (2013). At 189 lbs and 181 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Formula 400 Super Sport 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Formula 37 PC 2013 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 400 Super Sport 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 400 Super Sport 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 41,5 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 37 PC 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
