Overview
The Formula 34PC is a versatile express cruiser designed to balance manageable size with ample amenities for enjoyable weekend getaways. Introduced with significant updates in 2017, this model features major enhancements to its stern platform and cockpit, improving both functionality and aesthetics. The boat is powered by twin 380 horsepower V8 8.2-liter MerCruiser engines paired with Bravo 3X outdrives, delivering strong performance and ease of handling.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The 34PC's swim platform has been nearly doubled in size, creating a spacious teak beach ideal for launching water sports equipment or even carrying a tender. The swim bladder is cleverly concealed beneath the platform, safely away from the propellers, and a robust stainless steel rail encircles the edge, serving as both a secure handhold for swimmers and a durable fender during docking. The stern quarters are equipped with Formula-branded cleats, shore power connections, courtesy LED lights, stern lights, and two speakers. On the port side, a hot and cold shower and hose connections facilitate quick engine flushes with fresh water, a feature uncommon in this class. The cockpit lounge seat backs are designed to swing fore and aft, allowing them to convert into aft-facing chaise lounges or form a cozy seating area. Under the sun pad, there is ample storage for fenders, dock lines, shore power cables, and a dedicated holder for the cockpit table. A concealed wet bar on the port side includes a sink with faucet, a refrigerator with pull-out drawer, house battery switch, breaker panel, trash container, and two USB ports. The cockpit can accommodate one or two pedestal tables for dining or entertaining. The helm area and cockpit dash feature a refined gray surface that reduces glare and enhances the overall aesthetic.
Hardtop and Bow Area
An optional hardtop significantly enhances guest comfort by providing shade and protection from the elements. It includes two ventilation hatches, LED lighting, and two stainless steel grilled speakers positioned forward. The bow area features sun pads on both sides that can be flipped up to form chaise lounges in multiple positions, offering flexible relaxation options.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 34PC offers spacious accommodations suitable for weekend cruising. The aft cabin provides ample seating that converts into a berth, complemented by a flat-screen TV mounted on the bulkhead, which can be enjoyed from the main salon. The salon itself is appointed with ultra-leather upholstery featuring suede lumbar support and includes two tables with room for a third, which can be lowered to create an additional berth. The galley, located to port, continues the Corian countertop theme with a new bourbon cherry finish. It includes a glass panel with downlights illuminating stemware storage, dry storage compartments, and all the standard galley features expected in this class. Moving forward, the island queen berth is accessible via stairs on both sides and benefits from opening port lights, an overhead hatch, and mirrored cabinets housing cedar-lined hanging lockers. The head compartment features Corian countertops, a stainless steel single basin sink, an opening port light for ventilation, ample storage, and a standard Formula One vacuum flush toilet.
Power and Performance
The 34PC is powered by twin MerCruiser 8.2-liter V8 engines, each producing 380 horsepower, paired with Bravo 3X outdrives. Engine hatch access is conveniently controlled from the helm. The engine compartment is well-organized, with double-clamped hoses, properly secured batteries with terminal covers, and battery switches located beneath a day hatch near the generator. The bow features a hatch over a concealed Lumar windlass with a 250-foot all-chain rode leading to a polished stainless steel anchor mounted on a through-the-stem roller. The windlass system includes washdown capabilities, two foot control switches, a handheld remote, and a remote control spotlight, all standard equipment. The helm seat is double-wide with individual flip-up bolsters for enhanced visibility. Instrumentation includes fuel gauges, a 7-inch VesselView display, a hybrid touch display, Axios joystick control, Bennett trim tabs, and DTS controls. On the water, the 34PC reached a top speed of 48.3 miles per hour at 4900 RPM, with a fuel consumption of 66.3 gallons per hour, yielding a range of 135 miles. The most efficient cruise speed was 32.5 miles per hour at 3500 RPM, burning 31.9 gallons per hour and providing a range of 189 miles with nearly six hours of endurance while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration times were measured at 4.1 seconds to plane, 7.1 seconds to 20 mph, 12.8 seconds to 30 mph, and 19.8 seconds to 40 mph. The boat exhibits a bow rise of 10 degrees during acceleration, settling to a 6-degree bow-high attitude on plane. Handling is responsive but sensitive to weight distribution, easily managed with trim tabs and outdrive adjustments. The 18-degree deadrise hull leans up to 23 degrees in hard turns and maintains a comfortable 17 degrees of roll during moderate maneuvers. Docking is simplified by the Axios joystick, which provides precise directional control even in crosswinds, with adjustable responsiveness via the DTS system.
Conclusion
The Formula 34PC successfully combines manageable size with thoughtful design enhancements and strong performance capabilities. Its expanded swim platform, versatile cockpit seating, well-appointed interior, and powerful propulsion system make it a capable and comfortable express cruiser for weekend adventures. Ease of handling, especially with the Axios joystick and DTS controls, further enhances its appeal to boaters seeking a responsive and user-friendly vessel. Overall, the 34PC represents a well-executed balance of functionality, comfort, and performance.
