Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 370 Super Sport 2008 vs Formula 400 Super Sport 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 370 Super Sport 2008 vs Formula 400 Super Sport 2005 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Formula 370 Super Sport 2008 at 38,0 ft versus Formula 400 Super Sport 2005 at 41,0 ft. At 151 lbs and 188 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 2005 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Formula 370 Super Sport 2008 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 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 400 Super Sport 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 41,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 370 Super Sport 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
