Research 2013 - Thunderbird Formula Boats - 24 Bowrider Sport

Day boating reaches an all time high for Formula BR 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 decor for 2012, impresses even the most demanding perfectionist.

Every BR 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.

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. 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.
