Formula 27 PC: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Overview

The Formula 27 PC has been a staple in Formula's lineup for several years, recently receiving a comprehensive redesign for the 2005 model year. This update focuses on enhancing livability below deck while maintaining the vessel's reputation as a high-performance cruiser. The redesign includes sleeker lines and improved cruising comfort, with Formula emphasizing efficient use of space for both performance and entertainment.

Exterior Design and Bridge

The 27 PC features a forward-swept arch that contributes to its sporty and streamlined profile. Access to the bow is facilitated by three steps integrated into the dash and windshield area. The helm station is appointed with burl wood accents, providing a rich aesthetic, and is equipped with black Lavorsi gauges featuring white numerals for clear visibility. A digital depth meter is conveniently positioned to the right. The helm includes a large bench seat with twin bolsters and an armrest, enhancing comfort during navigation. To port, there is a spacious lounger adjacent to a wet bar equipped with a sink, two cup holders, storage compartments, and bottle holders. The cockpit also includes a port-facing bench with storage beneath and stainless steel cup holders, complemented by a fold-away bench along the stern wall. A swim shower is located at the walk-through, and the swim platform features a covered telescoping ladder. An electric hatch provides ample access to the engine compartment and generator.

Interior Living Spaces

Below deck, three sure-grip steps lead into a spacious salon that benefits from three portals allowing natural light and ventilation. The salon can be outfitted with a table for dining or snacks, and it converts into a large sleeping area at night. The galley is equipped with a microwave, double cabinets, a stainless steel sink with a removable trash bin, a single burner cooktop, and a refrigerator below the counter. Storage includes drawers for silverware and small items. The head is located on the starboard side and features a mirrored cabinet, vanity with storage, and an adjustable height shower head. Optional features on the test model included air conditioning controls and an entertainment cabinet housing a flat screen TV, stereo, and DVD player, with ample storage for media.

Dimensions and Specifications

The Formula 27 PC measures 28 feet 3 inches in length with a beam of 9 feet 7 inches. It has a dry weight of approximately 9,500 pounds and offers 6 feet 4 inches of headroom in the cabin. The vessel draws 41 inches of water and requires a clearance of 9 feet 6 inches for bridge passage.

Power and Performance

During testing in calm waters near Sanibel, Florida, the 27 PC initially presented a handling challenge until the trim and plane were adjusted, after which the ride became smooth. The most economical cruising speed was found at 3,000 RPM, achieving 25.6 miles per hour with a fuel consumption of 13.8 gallons per hour, allowing a range of approximately 179 miles on a full tank. The top speed reached 46.2 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM. These performance figures underscore the 27 PC's capability as a performance cruiser.

Conclusion

The redesigned Formula 27 PC combines sleek exterior styling with enhanced interior livability and solid performance credentials. Its thoughtful use of space, comfortable accommodations, and reliable handling make it an appealing choice for those seeking a proven performance cruiser with modern amenities and refined design.
