"Formula For After Hours" is a lovely Formula 34 Performance cruiser with the "Tommy Bahama" Gold design. The present owner has had her for 8 years and taken excellent care of her. The interior of the 2009 Formula Performance Cruiser combines high-gloss Cherry cabinetry, Ultra-leather upholstery and Corian countertops with an open-plan express cruiser layout. "After Hours" is in great condition and has just been hauled for her winter storage as she is hauled every winter.
The 34 PC presents classic Formula styling with its forward-swept radar arch, sleek, flowing lines, plentiful storage and expansive cockpit.The best of all cruising becomes an everyday reality in a Formula Performance Cruiser. Elegance of design, accelerated pace and smooth, stable performance heighten the sense of expectation for everyone aboard. Superior in every respect, Formula Cruisers are built with rugged construction for offshore conditions, yet each feature is attuned to pure comfort, while a distinctive aura of luxury prevails throughout. Formula PC cockpit design always encourages friendly gatherings. The generous aft lounge includes tables and filler cushions to accommodate various activities and interests. Directly opposite, the wetbar, topped with beautifully handcrafted Corian, welcomes spontaneous entertaining. Everywhere possible, smoothly finished storage areas contain the gear and personal extras that assure a fully satisfying experience on the water.Formula technology updates include white/blue LED remote control cockpit, arch and hardtop lighting along with LED swim platform lights. Also, the effect of optional blue LED underwater lighting is truly fascinating. Larger LCD HDTV/DVD systems offer the sharpest viewing, and the marine speakers, now enhanced by stainless grilles, are complemented by separate tweeters. The iPod/MP3 port at each helm is a popular feature, as is the available docking station in the cabin. On the foredeck, she is set up for full length sunpads.
Each Performance Cruiser cabin elicits immediate admiration. The flawless, high-gloss, Deep Cherry finish of the cabinetry is echoed in solid wood tables, while gleaming, handcrafted Corian provides the perfect counterpoint. The galley is equipped with a refrigerator, polished stainless steel sink, microwave oven and a concealed electric stove. Each hardwood drawer has dovetailed corners as in all fine furniture. Either American Cherry woodgrain-finish flooring or warm, subtly patterned custom carpet is a beautiful touch underfoot. As always, the luxuriously supple Ultraleather lounge is the natural center for socializing, whether for eating, watching TV or just for interesting conversations.
Starting down below and forward is the Master berth. this area can be closed off via curtain for privacy. Portlights on either side as well as an overhead hatch add excellent light and ventilation. 'the Tommy Bahama style fabrics show with the striped curtains and floral thru pillows. Mirrored lockers on either side for storage when out cruising.
The Main salon is open and spacious with a curved dinette to starboard and full galley to port. Built-ion entertainment center to starboard and additional lockers. Additional ports along the hull sides add natural light. Aft of the galley is the large enclosed head with a separate shower area. Steps by the head lead to the Bridge deck/helm area.
All the way aft and tucked under the bridge deck is another whole U-shaped seating area. this also serves as an additional sleeping area and that can be closed off for privacy. There are multiple TV's thru out the vessel. Carpet in the fore and aft sleeping areas and faux wood flooring in the main salon which is very easy to maintain.
Up several steps to the Bridge deck or helm deck. Here the helm is to starboard with a double Captain/mates seat. Centerline steps lead to the foredeck where she has an area for sun pads. To port is a comfortable lounge seat facing aft.
Down a step and going aft is the very accommodating U-shaped seating to starboard. Opposite the seating to port is a wet bar with Corian counters, and Isotherm fridge. There is also a transom door that leads out to the swim platform.
The 2009 Model is one of the first to have the hardtop incorporated with the arch, and no longer needing a canvas bimini.

Formula 34 Performance Cruiser: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Formula 34PC is a versatile express cruiser designed to balance manageable size with ample amenities for enjoyable weekend getaways. Introduced with significant updates in 2017, this model features major enhancements to its stern platform and cockpit, improving both functionality and aesthetics. The boat is powered by twin 380 horsepower V8 8.2-liter MerCruiser engines paired with Bravo 3X outdrives, delivering strong performance and ease of handling.
Exterior Design and Cockpit
The 34PC's swim platform has been nearly doubled in size, creating a spacious teak beach ideal for launching water sports equipment or even carrying a tender. The swim bladder is cleverly concealed beneath the platform, safely away from the propellers, and a robust stainless steel rail encircles the edge, serving as both a secure handhold for swimmers and a durable fender during docking. The stern quarters are equipped with Formula-branded cleats, shore power connections, courtesy LED lights, stern lights, and two speakers. On the port side, a hot and cold shower and hose connections facilitate quick engine flushes with fresh water, a feature uncommon in this class. The cockpit lounge seat backs are designed to swing fore and aft, allowing them to convert into aft-facing chaise lounges or form a cozy seating area. Under the sun pad, there is ample storage for fenders, dock lines, shore power cables, and a dedicated holder for the cockpit table. A concealed wet bar on the port side includes a sink with faucet, a refrigerator with pull-out drawer, house battery switch, breaker panel, trash container, and two USB ports. The cockpit can accommodate one or two pedestal tables for dining or entertaining. The helm area and cockpit dash feature a refined gray surface that reduces glare and enhances the overall aesthetic.
Hardtop and Bow Area
An optional hardtop significantly enhances guest comfort by providing shade and protection from the elements. It includes two ventilation hatches, LED lighting, and two stainless steel grilled speakers positioned forward. The bow area features sun pads on both sides that can be flipped up to form chaise lounges in multiple positions, offering flexible relaxation options.
Interior Living Spaces
Below deck, the 34PC offers spacious accommodations suitable for weekend cruising. The aft cabin provides ample seating that converts into a berth, complemented by a flat-screen TV mounted on the bulkhead, which can be enjoyed from the main salon. The salon itself is appointed with ultra-leather upholstery featuring suede lumbar support and includes two tables with room for a third, which can be lowered to create an additional berth. The galley, located to port, continues the Corian countertop theme with a new bourbon cherry finish. It includes a glass panel with downlights illuminating stemware storage, dry storage compartments, and all the standard galley features expected in this class. Moving forward, the island queen berth is accessible via stairs on both sides and benefits from opening port lights, an overhead hatch, and mirrored cabinets housing cedar-lined hanging lockers. The head compartment features Corian countertops, a stainless steel single basin sink, an opening port light for ventilation, ample storage, and a standard Formula One vacuum flush toilet.
Power and Performance
The 34PC is powered by twin MerCruiser 8.2-liter V8 engines, each producing 380 horsepower, paired with Bravo 3X outdrives. Engine hatch access is conveniently controlled from the helm. The engine compartment is well-organized, with double-clamped hoses, properly secured batteries with terminal covers, and battery switches located beneath a day hatch near the generator. The bow features a hatch over a concealed Lumar windlass with a 250-foot all-chain rode leading to a polished stainless steel anchor mounted on a through-the-stem roller. The windlass system includes washdown capabilities, two foot control switches, a handheld remote, and a remote control spotlight, all standard equipment. The helm seat is double-wide with individual flip-up bolsters for enhanced visibility. Instrumentation includes fuel gauges, a 7-inch VesselView display, a hybrid touch display, Axios joystick control, Bennett trim tabs, and DTS controls. On the water, the 34PC reached 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, burning 31.9 gallons per hour and providing a range of 189 miles with nearly six hours of endurance while maintaining a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration times were measured at 4.1 seconds to plane, 7.1 seconds to 20 mph, 12.8 seconds to 30 mph, and 19.8 seconds to 40 mph. The boat exhibits a bow rise of 10 degrees during acceleration, settling to a 6-degree bow-high attitude on plane. Handling is responsive but sensitive to weight distribution, easily managed with trim tabs and outdrive adjustments. The 18-degree deadrise hull leans up to 23 degrees in hard turns and maintains a comfortable 17 degrees of roll during moderate maneuvers. Docking is simplified by the Axios joystick, which provides precise directional control even in crosswinds, with adjustable responsiveness via the DTS system.
Conclusion
The Formula 34PC successfully combines manageable size with thoughtful design enhancements and strong performance capabilities. Its expanded swim platform, versatile cockpit seating, well-appointed interior, and powerful propulsion system make it a capable and comfortable express cruiser for weekend adventures. Ease of handling, especially with the Axios joystick and DTS controls, further enhances its appeal to boaters seeking a responsive and user-friendly vessel. Overall, the 34PC represents a well-executed balance of functionality, comfort, and performance.
