This freshwater only 2018 Formula 290 Sun Sport combines Formula's premium craftsmanship, performance, luxury accommodations, and versatile day-boating layout in a highly desirable 29-foot package. Powered by twin Mercury 6.2L 300 HP engines and extensively equipped with premium factory options including Joystick Piloting, this 290 SS is an excellent choice for buyers looking for a Formula that is equally comfortable cruising, entertaining, swimming, or spending a full day on the water. ***TRIPLE AXLE TRAILER SHOWN IN PHOTO IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE SALE***
Power comes from twin Mercury 6.2L 300 HP ECT engines with Bravo Three drives, producing a combined 600 horsepower. This boat is equipped with Mercury Joystick Piloting, Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS), SmartCraft VesselView, and Active Trim, providing excellent performance along with precise low-speed control and substantially easier docking and maneuvering around the marina.
Formula's 290 Sun Sport provides an excellent balance between open-air entertaining and cabin accommodations. With a 9-foot beam, spacious cockpit, U-shaped aft lounge, convertible aft sun lounge, wet bar, integrated swim platform, and comfortable cabin below, the 290 SS offers considerably more versatility than a traditional performance boat while retaining the responsive handling Formula is known for.
This 290 SS was ordered with the striking FX Metallic Flagship Graphic C, featuring an FX Black hullside complemented by Silver Diamond Pearl, Black, and Bright Red graphic accents. The cockpit features Moondust base upholstery with Liquid Silver accents, Charcoal piping, Anthracite Corian® surfaces, and Moondust woven cockpit flooring. Below deck, the cabin is finished in Formula's Silver Surf décor with Mortar seating, Gray Wash woodgrain flooring, Linen Steel doors, and Arrowroot Corian® surfaces.
The factory equipment package is extensive and includes Mercury Joystick Piloting with DTS, VesselView and Active Trim, Raymarine eS78 color chartplotter, VHF radio, electric windlass with chain and stainless steel anchor, stainless steel bow docking lights, JL Audio lighted cockpit speakers with subwoofer, fiberglass arch, extended sport swim platform w/ski pylon, cockpit blue LED lighting system, Bimini top, all-weather cockpit cover, Slate Teak vinyl decking on the extended swim platform, and Moondust woven cockpit flooring.
The cabin adds another dimension to the 290 Sun Sport's versatility. A convertible Ultraleather™ U-shaped forward dinette provides comfortable seating and converts into a double berth, while the enclosed head, entertainment system, storage, and finished interior make the boat comfortable for longer days on the water and occasional overnight use.
With Formula's premium construction, twin 300 HP Mercury power, Joystick Piloting, extended sport swim platform, upscale interior and cockpit appointments, and an impressive selection of factory-installed equipment, this 2018 Formula 290 Sun Sport represents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a premium performance day boat with genuine cruising versatility.
