Research 2013 - Thunderbird Formula Boats - F-270 Sun Sport

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 for 2012, impresses even the most demanding perfectionist.

Every SS, BR, and FX model lives up to Formula�s long standing reputation of superior quality and excellent performance. Even the smaller models prove to be first rate with extra features and a smooth, spirited ride. The 240 through the 310 are available as either bowrider or cabin models, and each offers striking Imron graphic and color choices. The 350, largest and roomiest of the Sun Sports, is equipped with all the features needed for comfortable overnight stays. Even so, the 350 planes easily, delivering the typically faster, smoother Formula ride.

Each cockpit includes a stow-away table along with comfortably contoured seating plus an aft facing lounge for two that easily extends into a sun lounge. Beginning with the 290 and continuing through the Super Sports, the main wrap-around lounge seating also converts to an expansive upholstered area for relaxing and sunning.
