Formula 290 Bowrider: BoatTEST Review

Reviewed by Jeff Hammond

Boat Test Review on BoatTest.com

Overview

The Formula 290 Bowrider exemplifies the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality in the sports boat category. Built by Formula, a brand renowned for producing some of the finest sports boats in America and worldwide, this model sets a benchmark in attention to detail, upholstery, and overall build quality. The boat is designed with versatility and entertainment in mind, offering multiple seating configurations and thoughtful amenities.

Exterior Design and Bow Seating

The bow seating area of the 290 Bowrider is notably versatile for a boat of its size. It offers three distinct configurations: a traditional lounge seating with extended leg rests and armrests down; an upright seating position with feet on the deck, facilitated by removable filler cushions stored under the helm console; and a full sun pad created by two inserts, providing a spacious, spa-like area for three to four people. Integrated into the gunwale are two cup holders and a padded, dent-resistant spot designed specifically for a smartphone. For dining or casual entertaining, a removable table stored in the helm console can be installed, featuring a stylish Corian surface.

Storage and Functional Features

The forward cockpit depth measures 32 inches and includes an anchor locker equipped with a pad eye, though it could benefit from additional notches for a small Danforth anchor. Beneath the forward cushions lies ample storage space, with port and starboard lockers featuring plastic grates for drainage. Access between the bow seating and the main cockpit is facilitated by a comfortably wide passage through the front windshield, which securely closes with a double lock. The helm console to starboard offers generous storage, including a dedicated spot for the Corian table, and ample room for cushions, life vests, and deflated water toys. Between the console and companion seat, a large in-deck locker measures 70 inches long, 17 inches wide, and over 12 inches deep. Additionally, a lockable glove box in front of the companion seat protects the stereo controls from moisture.

Interior Amenities and Upholstery

Beneath the upholstery lies access to a well-appointed head compartment, notable for its 47 inches of headroom, a sink, and a vacuum flush toilet—features that enhance comfort and convenience on board. The upholstery itself is a standout element, crafted from four different vinyl colors arranged with precision and elegance. The upholstery scheme incorporates rich browns and light tans reminiscent of luxury automobiles such as Aston Martin and Maserati, lending a high-end ambiance. The stitching is flawless, and the materials used, including Tenera fluoropolymer fiber thread, provide exceptional durability against UV rays, cleaning solvents, salt water, snow, and extreme temperatures, backed by a lifetime guarantee. Custom color options are available through the Formula Flex program at no additional cost.

Galley and Entertainment Features

The Formula 290 Bowrider includes a wet bar equipped with a large sink featuring a removable cutting board, multiple cup holders, and ample storage for condiments. Beneath the sink is an under-counter refrigerator with shelving designed to secure food while underway. This area also houses the ship’s electrical panels, breakers, battery switches, and a fixed firefighting system, ensuring both convenience and safety. Entertainment is enhanced by a 400-watt Clarion stereo system with remote control accessible from the aft deck.

Aft Deck and Swim Platform

The aft deck is designed for relaxation and water activities, featuring a sun pad that converts into a chaise lounge for enjoying the aft view. The large swim platform is custom-made to accommodate various water sports such as wakeboarding and swimming parties. It is surfaced with synthetic teak, which remains cool underfoot and requires no maintenance. Safety and convenience are addressed with stainless steel grab bars along the trailing edge of the platform and four integrated cup holders. Additionally, a clever deployable swim platform combined with a reboarding ladder is integrated beneath the main platform. Constructed from aluminum, stainless steel, and composite materials, this three-part assembly facilitates easy reboarding, even for older individuals. When extended, the platform provides a full 42 inches of space behind the drives, creating an ideal spot for hanging out in the water.

Conclusion

The Formula 290 Bowrider impresses with its combination of high-quality craftsmanship, versatile seating arrangements, thoughtful storage solutions, and premium materials. Its well-appointed amenities, including a spacious head, wet bar, and advanced entertainment system, enhance onboard comfort and functionality. The innovative swim platform and synthetic teak decking further contribute to an enjoyable boating experience. Overall, the 290 Bowrider stands out as a refined and practical sports boat, suitable for both entertaining and active water pursuits.
