Mission Statement
Formula created the 240 Bowrider targeting the trailer-boat market so that customers wanting a smaller, easily trailered, runabout would not have to compromise on quality and upscale features. On many small lakes 24' is a good-sized boat and for those who want the prestige of a Formula, the 240 is the boat to own.
Five-year Formula Guard Protection.
This covers all the components on the boat that normally have a 1 year protection plan. Formula Guard kicks in after the initial one year to protect for an additional 4 years. The program is transferable. Again, this is indicative of a company standing behind its product.
Imron Graphics.
While it's rare for a boat not to have some graphics on the topsides, they are nearly always decals. Naturally these will start to peel after several years of use, and it's not uncommon to see dirt collect at the edges. Formula's graphics are applied with Imron, a polyurethane paint and a difficult process to apply. All of the problems with decals are thus eliminated.
High-end Finish.
It's very easy to pick a Formula out of the crowd of boats going by. They generally have a much higher gloss and shine to their finish that makes them stand out above the rest. This is because Formula dedicates so much time to polishing its finishes to perfection.
Self-bailing Cockpit.
I think that all sportboat cockpits which are higher than the waterline should be self-bailing, and this one is. It means that the boat takes care of herself when uncovered in a torrential rain at the dock.
Automatic Fire Suppression System.
This is an important safety feature in the engine room and Formula makes it standard.
Handling
Heading out to the test ground I noticed that at no-wake speed the windshield frame was directly in my line of sight from the seated position. At cruise, however, she rises to a five-degree bow high attitude which had me looking directly through the windshield. Naturally, up on the bolster visibility is excellent both at idle and at speed. Upon accelerating the 240s bow comes up 16-degrees which brings it to a level just below the horizon line, so there's no concern about loss of visibility. Once at cruise speed, just a couple of shots of up-trim are all it takes to get the 240 into her cruise mode. Operators will notice the spray moving from the helm to the stern quarters, and the boost in speed can easily be felt. If the trim is brought up anymore then the 240 exhibits operator induced oscillation rather than ventilating the propellers.When putting the 240 into a turn she tends to dig her shoulder in creating a tight turn with the pivot point being right at the helm. Maximum bank angle was 16.5-degrees.Finally, when power is taken off the 240 settles back into the water stern first, this again, brings the bow up with no loss of visibility to the horizon.
The Quality Component
While the 240 BR is the smallest boat in Formula's line, there has been no cutback in the quality of the materials used. In fact, for the most part they are the same as used in the largest and most expensive Formula boats. Let's take the 240's all-weather upholstery for an example. It is made with a high-grade and thick vinyl with a PreFixx coating and DriFast foam cushioning all assembled with UV resistant Tenera thread. Below the surface in the substructure the builder uses StarLite XL ynthetic marine panels which will not rot or soak up moisture and will last as long as the boat. Its fabrics are easy to clean up and will stand up well to UV. Another small example of Formula's quality is its cleats that are all cast with the Formula name, custom forged for the 240 and not something off the shelf. Formula installs six 316L stainless steel cleats where some builders will save by only having two cleats at the stern and two at the bow. Formula knows it takes six to properly tie a boat up at the dock. The 240's windshield is tempered, tinted curved glass with a well braced center walkthrough. Typically when testing the Formula sportboats, BoatTEST captains do several dead lifts on the open windshield to test the braces. This time showed no flexing or creaking. Formula boats are built to be abused and keep on ticking. Hull laminates are thick and vinylester barrier coats are employed to prevent blistering. One-piece stringers are laminated in with chemical bonding which will not come loose. The decks are put on with the same chemical bond, plus there are rivets at close intervals. All deck hardware is backed with plates to spread the load. The 240 has a complete liner in the entire cockpit. Interior components all have liners and fiberglass hatches are resin infused on both sides for a smooth finish. Formula uses a Perma Panel structural hull matrix and foam filled hull cavities adding flotation and sound deadening. Even the interior of the engine room has been sprayed with gel coat to provide a smooth clean surface.
Systems Installation is Critical
Most boats look good at first glance, and many run well the first year or so. But the biggest bugaboo in recreational marine boat construction is the reliability of the ship's systems after a few years of exposure to the harsh marine environment. It is here, in the systems, that gremlins fester and grow, until one day they literally turn out the lights, keep the engine from starting, or otherwise play havoc. Formula's management is the second and third generation boat builders and have been in business for over 50 years. They have gone through the learning curve, and the company is famous in the industry for its "best practices" system installations. The wire runs and the plumbing behind the bulkheads are done with care. It is this kind of TLC in the construction process that keeps the gremlins at bay.
The Imron Finish -- Highest Quality in the Industry
The full, hull-side color is optional and I recommend it. Formula uses a high-quality gel coat, but then it paints over it. The company uses Imron paints, a polyurethane DuPont product, that is technically difficult to apply, but creates the foundation for what is probably the best, highest gloss finish in the industry. But Imron paint, as good as it is, is not enough to create the remarkable gloss that is seen on Formula topsides. That is thanks to hundreds of man-hours of buffing, compounding and polishing with electric buffers, and by hand. All of this ensures that the luster will last and require a minimum of maintenance to keep looking good.
Design Continuity
The 240 BR has been designed by the same man responsible for all of the other Formula models, John Adams. John has been designing boats for Formula since before we can remember and he only designs boats for Formula. In fact, we think that most boaters' eyes have become accustomed to John's soft flowing, unostentatious lines, and many of us subconsciously think that that is how a beautiful sportboat should look. The 240 BR Sport has the same striking lines and is designed to take advantage of the same performance-oriented hull characteristics as her big sisters.
