Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 37 Performance Cruiser 2007 vs Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 37 Performance Cruiser 2007 vs Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 measures 41,5 feet overall (2012), giving it roughly 4,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 37 Performance Cruiser 2007 at 37,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 37 Performance Cruiser 2007 tips the scales at 17 605 lbs — 17 424 lbs more than the Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 at 181 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 400 Super Sport 2012 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Formula 37 Performance Cruiser 2007 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 2012 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 400 Super Sport 2012 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 Performance Cruiser 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
