Formula 260 Bowrider: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Formula 260 Sunsport represents the smallest model in Formula's Sunsport lineup, yet it maintains the high build quality and smooth ride characteristic of its larger counterparts. Available exclusively as a single-engine boat, the 260 Sunsport comes in both a closed deck and an open bowrider configuration. The latest addition to the Sunsport series is the 260 Bowrider, which combines elegant styling with a range of features and amenities that surpass many competitors in its class.

Exterior Design and Deck Layout

The 260 Bowrider features sleek, elegant lines and a spacious layout optimized for entertainment and comfort. Boarding the boat, one is greeted by a large, beam-width swim platform that provides easy access through transom doors. The aft deck hosts a generous U-shaped lounge to starboard, designed to comfortably seat multiple guests. An optional high-low table converts this lounge into a dining area for up to six people, or can be lowered and fitted with a filler cushion to create a large sun pad. Beneath the seat cushions, integrated storage compartments accommodate large items such as fenders and safety gear. To port, a well-equipped wet bar offers ample counter space for meal preparation, featuring a pressurized freshwater sink beneath a cutting board, a trash receptacle, and a removable cooler. Additional storage is available under the bar for party essentials. Forward of the cockpit, the bow area provides wraparound seating with side chaise lounges and a front seat that grants access to the anchor locker. For enhanced sunbathing, a bow filler board and cushions can be installed to transform the space into an expansive sun lounge.

Interior Amenities

The Formula 260 Sunsport includes a large head compartment located to port, designed with a fully molded liner for easy cleaning and maintenance. This space is convenient for guests to use or to change into swimwear, enhancing the boat’s day-use functionality.

Power and Performance

The 260 Sunsport is powered by stern drive propulsion, with engine options from MerCruiser or Volvo Penta ranging from 300 to 420 horsepower. During testing, the boat achieved a top speed of 52 miles per hour at 4,600 RPM, demonstrating strong performance. At a cruising speed of 31 miles per hour and 3,000 RPM, fuel efficiency was measured at 2.75 miles per gallon, allowing for an impressive cruising range of over 228 miles thanks to the 92-gallon fuel tank. Weighing in at 5,450 pounds dry, the boat delivers a smooth and comfortable ride even in rough water conditions.

Conclusion

With its combination of refined styling, thoughtful amenities, and solid performance, the Formula 260 Sunsport stands out as a versatile and well-crafted dayboat. Its build quality is among the best in the industry, ensuring durability and enjoyment for years to come. The 260 Bowrider offers a compelling package for those seeking a luxurious, performance-oriented boat in a manageable size.
