This 2018 Formula 430 SSC has just undergone an extensive refit to position her as a tremendous value and attract a quick sale. Key highlights include: all new OEM Formula upholstery, new Kohler diesel generator, all engines have new lower units, all new batteries, bottom paint, and more. See the full comprehensive list of upgrades and work completed below.
These are extremely popular day boats, and for good reason. They offer ample covered and climate-controlled living space. Sporty enough to safely cruise 40+ knots offshore, yet tame enough to idle to the sandbar with the Seakeeper spinning, keeping even the most fragile guests comfortable, all while blowing cold A/C at the helm, grilling hotdogs, and entertaining 10+ people at a time. Of all the bowriders on the market, this is one of the most seaworthy. Great for cruising up and down the coast or island hopping.
Turnkey and ready for immediate delivery.

2018 Formula 430 Super Sport Crossover Video Tours
Overview
The Formula 430 SSC represents a significant evolution for Formula, marking their return to outboard-powered boats for the first time since 1986. This 43-foot long, 12-foot beam bowrider crossover is among the largest in its class, offering spacious interior accommodations uncommon for its size. Powered by four Mercury Racing 400 horsepower outboard engines, the 430 SSC delivers a combined 1600 horsepower, positioning it as a high-performance vessel suitable for both offshore cruising and spirited boating activities.
Hull Design and Exterior Features
The 430 SSC features a fast tech twin-step bottom hull designed to enhance top-end speed and fuel efficiency across all planing speeds. Its deep bow entry and 21 degrees of dead rise at the stern contribute to a smooth ride, while four lifting strakes and a slightly reversed chine assist in quick planing and minimizing bow rise. The hull’s deep V shape reflects Formula’s long-standing expertise in optimizing performance and handling. Notably, the quad Mercury Racing Verado 400R outboards are mounted directly on the transom, transmitting load and stress directly to the hull structure rather than through brackets, enhancing durability and structural integrity.
Power and Performance
During performance testing, the Formula 430 SSC achieved a top speed of 64.2 miles per hour at 7,000 RPM. Its most efficient cruising speed was recorded at 42.6 miles per hour at 5,000 RPM, consuming 58.6 gallons per hour, which equates to approximately 0.7 miles per gallon and a range of 327 statute miles with a 10% fuel reserve. Acceleration is brisk, with the boat reaching 20 miles per hour in 6.6 seconds and 30 miles per hour in 12.6 seconds. The vessel exhibits minimal bow rise under hard acceleration, aided by trim tabs that quickly stabilize the bow and maintain clear forward visibility. Handling is agile and responsive; the 430 SSC can execute tight turns with a comfortable lean, performing maneuvers more typical of lighter sport boats despite its 27,828-pound weight. Its offshore racing heritage is evident in its ability to maintain composure through choppy conditions and wakes.
Helm and Controls
The helm of the 430 SSC is equipped with advanced navigation and control systems, including three Raymarine GS165 GPS chart plotters with HD radar, each featuring 16-inch screens, with an option for two 19-inch displays. The Raymarine Launch Port touchscreen provides automated vessel management, allowing comprehensive control over electrical systems. Engine monitoring is handled via the Mercury VesselView 7202 display. Additional controls include synchronized underwater lighting, an optional SeaKeeper gyro stabilizer, and clearly labeled accessory switches with illumination. Ergonomically, the helm features a tilt steering wheel, conveniently placed throttles with integrated trim controls, and an Axeus joystick for precise maneuvering, facilitating effortless docking and tight turns. Visibility is enhanced by a large one-piece windshield with an opening port section and side vents for ventilation.
Seating and Comfort Features
The helm seating accommodates three passengers side-by-side, each seat equipped with adjustable bottom cushions and power-operated footrests, enhancing comfort during extended outings. While the footrest controls are functional, clearer labeling would improve user experience. A notable comfort feature is the adjustable air conditioning louver system, which allows occupants to direct cooled air either forward or aft, providing personalized climate control.
Conclusion
The Formula 430 SSC combines substantial power, refined hull design, and advanced technology to deliver a high-performance, versatile bowrider crossover. Its ability to exceed 60 miles per hour while maintaining a cruising range over 300 miles makes it well-suited for offshore cruising and recreational activities requiring both speed and capacity. The boat’s nimble handling and robust construction reflect its offshore racing lineage, while its spacious accommodations and thoughtful helm design add to its appeal. Overall, the 430 SSC stands out as a compelling option in its segment, blending performance with comfort and advanced features.
