FORMULA 34 PC: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Formula 34 PC is a versatile express cruiser designed to balance manageable size with ample space for enjoyable weekend getaways. This model combines thoughtful design and practical features to accommodate both entertaining guests and comfortable overnight stays, making it suitable for a range of boating activities.
Exterior Design and Deck Layout
The aft cockpit serves as the primary entertainment area, featuring a U-shaped seating arrangement with two tables that include new Corian inserts available in five color options. On the port side, a wet bar equipped with a Corian countertop, sink, stainless steel drink holders, and a pull-out refrigerator/freezer drawer provides ample space for food preparation and storage. Additional storage compartments house essentials such as a trash receptacle, fire extinguisher, and the main electrical panel with battery switches. Adjacent to the helm deck, a versatile chaise lounge can be positioned forward or aft, facilitating comfortable interaction with the captain. An optional hardtop enhances guest comfort by offering protection from the elements, ventilation through two hatches, LED lighting, and stainless steel grilled speakers. Forward on the bow, sun pads on both sides can be flipped up to create chaise lounges in multiple positions, combining relaxation with functional design.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 34 PC offers spacious accommodations with several updates for the current model year. The aft cabin includes ample seating that converts into a berth and features a flat-screen television mounted on the bulkhead, integrating entertainment with the main salon. The salon itself is appointed with ultra-leather seating that incorporates suede lumbar support and multiple tables that can be arranged to form an additional berth. The galley continues the Corian theme with a new bourbon cherry color, complemented by tasteful touches such as a glass panel and downlighting over stemware storage. It is well-equipped with dry storage beneath the deck. Moving forward, the private stateroom features an island queen berth accessible via stairs on both sides, opening port lights, and an overhead hatch. Mirrored cabinets on either side conceal cedar-lined hanging lockers. The head includes a vacuum flush toilet, Corian countertops, a stainless steel single basin sink, an opening port light, and generous storage.
Power and Performance
The 34 PC is powered by twin 8.2-liter V8 big block MerCruiser engines, each producing 380 horsepower and paired with Bravo 3X outdrives. Engine maintenance is facilitated by a hatch switch located at the helm and a well-organized engine compartment featuring double-clamped hoses, secured batteries with terminal covers, and conveniently located battery switches under a day hatch. The bow houses a concealed Lumar windlass with a 250-foot all-chain rode and a polished stainless steel anchor, complemented by washdown capabilities, dual foot control switches, a handheld remote, and a remote control spotlight—all standard equipment. Instrumentation at the helm includes dual fuel gauges, a seven-inch VesselView display, a hybrid touch display, an Axis joystick, Bennett trim tabs, and DTS controls. On the water, the boat achieved a top speed of 48.3 miles per hour at 4900 RPM with a fuel consumption of 66.3 gallons per hour, yielding a range of 135 miles. The most efficient cruise speed was 32.5 miles per hour at 3500 RPM, reducing fuel burn to 31.9 gallons per hour and extending range to 189 miles with nearly six hours of endurance while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration times include 0 to 20 mph in 7.1 seconds, 0 to 30 mph in 12.8 seconds, and 0 to 40 mph in 19.8 seconds. The boat exhibits a bow rise of 10 degrees during acceleration, settling to a 6-degree bow-high attitude on plane. Handling is responsive, with a maximum lean of 23 degrees in hard turns and a comfortable 17 degrees in moderate maneuvers. The Axis joystick provides precise low-speed control, particularly useful for docking, with adjustable responsiveness via the DTS system.
Private Accommodations
The Formula 34 PC's interior layout supports comfortable overnight stays with a well-appointed aft cabin and a forward stateroom. The aft cabin seating converts to a berth and includes entertainment options such as a flat-screen TV. The forward stateroom features an island queen berth with convenient access, natural ventilation through port lights and an overhead hatch, and ample storage with mirrored cedar-lined hanging lockers. The head compartment is equipped with a vacuum flush toilet, Corian surfaces, a stainless steel sink, and sufficient storage, ensuring a comfortable and functional private space.
Conclusion
Overall, the Formula 34 PC successfully combines ease of handling with spacious accommodations and thoughtful design elements. Its performance is robust and efficient, supported by reliable powerplants and advanced control systems that simplify maneuvering. The blend of quality materials, functional layouts, and modern amenities makes this model well-suited for weekend cruising and entertaining, meeting the expectations of both casual boaters and more experienced operators.
