Formula 28: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Formula 280 Sunsport represents a harmonious blend of performance and cruising comfort, combining the best attributes of Formula's performance boats and cruisers into a single refined package. As the first and most successful Sunsport model produced by Formula, it has established the design standard and direction for subsequent Sunsport and Super Sport models. Its innovative layout and the renowned Formula ride quality have made the 280 Sunsport a true classic in its category, appealing to those who seek a capable yet comfortable cruising experience without the intensity of high-performance speedboats or the bulk of large floating condos.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The cockpit serves as the central hub of activity aboard the 280 Sunsport. Positioned just aft of the helm station is a U-shaped seating area that comfortably accommodates the entire crew, fostering a social and inviting atmosphere. A well-equipped wet bar located on the port side enhances the entertainment capabilities, featuring generous counter space, an alcohol stove for outdoor cooking, and a freshwater sink. Beneath the wet bar, dual cabinets provide ample storage, housing a fridge-freezer combination as well as access to battery switches and circuit breakers. The helm station itself is thoughtfully designed with twin command seats equipped with flip-up bolsters, video gauges integrated into the dashboard, and smooth-operating Quicksilver shifter and throttle levers. Molded steps on the helm console facilitate easy foredeck access, underscoring the boat's practical and user-friendly design.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 280 Sunsport offers a cozy cabin designed to comfortably accommodate two people overnight, making it well suited for weekend waterbound adventures. The cabin, while compact, is efficiently appointed with essential amenities. To starboard, a full head and shower compartment provide privacy and convenience, while opposite to port, a micro galley includes a microwave oven, storage space, and limited counter area, all elegantly finished with cherry wood cabinetry. The interior seating centers around a spacious V-shaped lounge that converts into a small berth with the addition of cushions, complemented by a cherry wood dining table that enhances the cabin's functionality and comfort.
Power and Performance
Measuring 29 feet 6 inches in length with a beam of 9 feet 2 inches, the 280 Sunsport is an offshore-capable cruiser weighing approximately 7,300 pounds and equipped with a 120-gallon fuel capacity. It can be powered by either MerCruiser or Volvo Penta engines, available in single or twin configurations. The test model, fitted with twin small block motors, demonstrated impressive performance, achieving a top speed of 50.3 miles per hour and delivering smooth acceleration and handling. Fuel efficiency was also notable, with a cruising speed of 27.6 miles per hour yielding nearly 1.9 miles per gallon, reflecting a balanced combination of power and economy.
Conclusion
The Formula 280 Sunsport successfully integrates overnight comfort with high-performance capabilities, making it an attractive option for boaters seeking a versatile cruiser. Its innovative design, well-appointed cockpit and cabin, and strong performance credentials position it as a classic model that continues to influence Formula's Sunsport line. Whether for spirited day cruising or relaxed weekend getaways, the 280 Sunsport delivers a satisfying blend of speed, comfort, and style.
