Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 370 Super Sport 2010 vs Formula 40 Cruiser 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Formula 370 Super Sport 2010 against a deep vee Formula 40 Cruiser 2009 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 370 Super Sport 2010 measures 38,5 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 34,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 40 Cruiser 2009 at 4,0 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 40 Cruiser 2009 tips the scales at 2 275 lbs — 2 124 lbs less than the Formula 370 Super Sport 2010 at 151 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 40 Cruiser 2009 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Formula 370 Super Sport 2010 caps at 11. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 40 Cruiser 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 40 Cruiser 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 4,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 370 Super Sport 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 11 that costs less to run day-to-day.
