Research 2013 - Thunderbird Formula Boats - 4OO FX 8

Day boating reaches an all time high for Formula SS, BR and FX owners. Great performance, solid reliability and the latest upgrades in technology are only the beginning of the complete satisfaction Formula owners enjoy out on the water. At first glance, the sleek lines and standout graphics insist this is the absolute best in day boat design and styling. Then, looking closely, consistent detailing throughout each model, including all-new cabin d�cor, impresses even the most demanding perfectionist.

The updated and expanded Formula FX sport boat series consists of the 290 FX4, 310 FX5, 350 FX6, and also the 370 FX7 and 400 FX8. Choices of the intensified Metallic hull finish are Silver Diamond, Black or Blue. The striking FX logo repeats in seating embroidery and custom carpeting while blue LED lighting is visible at every turn. The carbon-fiber composite dash, wetbar countertop and trim accents along with Livorsi Mega Series gauges complete the FX mystique. The FX Extreme graphic features Silver Diamond Metallic Imron� from the waterline up over the entire exterior and continuing throughout the cockpit. All this riveting eye appeal definitely adds up to spectacular boats in a class all their own. As for power, there�s plenty to attain satisfying speeds � the larger the FX, the higher the available engine power. Each FX Formula clearly embodies the bold, self-assured sport boat statement many boaters are eager to claim.
