Formula 37 PC: BoatTEST Review
Overview
The Formula 37 PC is a premium cruiser designed for both performance and ease of handling. Equipped with twin 430 horsepower 8.2 MAG HO engines and the advanced Axius joystick control system, this vessel offers precise maneuverability and powerful performance. Measuring 38 feet 5 inches in length overall with a 12-foot beam and a draft of 34 inches, the 37 PC balances spaciousness with agility, making it a capable boat for a variety of cruising conditions.
Exterior Design and Bridge Features
The 37 PC features a thoughtfully designed helm area with a double-wide seat that comfortably accommodates both captain and observer, each with flip-up bolsters that also serve as armrests. The helm panel is elegantly finished with faux burl wood and includes a 12-inch Raymarine E120 display, SmartCraft vessel view, fuel gauges, trim gauges, and optional autopilot controls. The power quadrant integrates digital throttle and shift controls, trim tabs, the Axius joystick, remote spotlight control, and a Skyhook station-keeping system. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped with wood trim and mounted on a tilt base for ergonomic handling. Boarding is facilitated by a non-skid cap rail, stainless grab handle, and variable-height railings that rise from 19 to 27 inches at the bow. The bow area includes a concealed Lumar windlass with automatic latching hatch, stainless steel anchor chute, freshwater washdown option, and dual foot control switches, enhancing both functionality and safety.
Engine Access and Systems
Maintenance and daily checks are simplified by the inclusion of a deck hatch that provides easy access to the twin engines. Additional compartments on the starboard side house the batteries, head pumps, and a fixed firefighting system, ensuring that critical systems are readily accessible. The engine hatch allows for more extensive maintenance, but the deck hatch is particularly convenient for routine inspections.
Power and Performance
Powered by twin 430 horsepower 8.2 MAG HO engines, the Formula 37 PC delivers a top speed of 46.7 miles per hour at 4,800 RPM, with a corresponding fuel burn of 67.5 gallons per hour, yielding a range of approximately 147 miles. The most efficient cruising speed is achieved at 3,500 RPM, where the boat maintains 32.2 miles per hour while consuming 33.25 gallons per hour. This allows for a cruising range of 206 miles over six hours and 24 minutes with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration is brisk, with the vessel planing in 4.8 seconds, reaching 20 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds, 30 miles per hour in 11.6 seconds, and 40 miles per hour in 18.8 seconds. The bow rises about 12 degrees during acceleration due to its forward position, temporarily obscuring the horizon until the boat planes. Once on plane, a slight adjustment of the trim tabs results in a comfortable 6 to 7 degree bow-high cruising attitude. Steering is responsive with two and a half turns lock to lock, providing precise control without overly sharp or uncomfortable turns.
Handling and Maneuverability
The Axius joystick system greatly enhances close-quarters handling, allowing the 37 PC to move in any direction with minimal effort. Docking mode reduces power for fine control, and the joystick’s placement offers excellent visibility of both bow and stern, critical for tight marina maneuvers. The helm’s ergonomic layout ensures that throttle, trim tabs, and joystick controls are within easy reach, facilitating confident operation in confined spaces. At idle speeds, the captain’s seating position may require adjustment to maintain clear sightlines through the windshield, but the boat’s generous headroom makes standing at the helm preferable during cruising.
Conclusion
The Formula 37 PC combines premium build quality with advanced technology to deliver a versatile and enjoyable cruising experience. Its powerful engines, efficient fuel consumption, and responsive handling make it suitable for both leisurely cruises and more spirited outings. The integration of the Axius joystick system simplifies close-quarters maneuvering, while the well-appointed helm and accessible engine compartments contribute to ease of operation and maintenance. Overall, the 37 PC stands out as a capable and thoughtfully designed cruiser in its class.
