Formula’s 350 CBR is the only bowrider I’ve tested that comes standard with an all-chain anchor rode. Of course, no other bowrider displaces 13,500 pounds and measures 35 feet in length overall: The 350 CBR is the world’s largest bowrider.

Designated a crossover by Formula, topside there’s a bow lounge boasting seating for eight. Within the starboard-side console resides a cabin with berth, galley and enclosed head. Below the water? A deep-V hull in the Formula tradition: The 350 CBR rode smoothly and handled nimbly. In fact, proving the theory that you can “make the hull deadrise work” with more weight or more speed, the 350 CBR rode smoother in the confused slop generated by 20-knot winds at 50 mph than it did at 40 mph. The 350 CBR is going to be a big hit with big-water boaters.

Sharp-eye readers will notice that the helm is raised and that the bow walk-through is offset to port. Both design features provide the space for the cabin beneath the helm; the former increases cabin headroom (and raises the captain’s sight line, ensuring crew seated forward don’t block the view) and the latter provides more width belowdecks.

The cabin is entered from the helm. The double-size aft berth provided me with sitting headroom, and I’m 6 feet tall. The galley features a Corian counter, sink and microwave. There’s a TV, visible from both the settee that’s opposite the galley and the berth. The head is located on the starboard side and truncated — its sole raised above the cabin sole to allow for drainage and provide comfortable width (remember we are in the lower, forward portion of a deep-V hull; width diminishes both beneath the waterline and as you go forward). You take a step up into this loo to find a nicely appointed, not-quite-standing headroom compartment.

Topside, the bow lounge is separated from the aft cockpit by a solid door, so you can block off the wind blast, if so desired. The latch for this needs more “throw,” since the one fitted on our tester opened repeatedly during our admittedly abusive test run. Formula assured us it would fix the latch on production models.

Hey Mark

We agree, the Chaparral is certainly a major-league entry in this category.

As for the undermount ladder: You kneel down, bend over and retract it just like you must do with a top mount ladder.The difference is instead of folding it aboard into a recess atop the platform, you slide it under the platform where its secures in place; sort of like a latching drawer slide.

Its half of one, six of another to us... but we certainly respect your opinion and thank you for sharing it so fellow boaters can give re-boarding the consideration it deserves. ( Ladder deployment is not just a convenience--its a safety issue should you fall overboard)

I appologise, my mistake, the four trying to watch TV comment was from when I checked out the Cobalt 336, their's was the cabin I despised the most, basically it is two cabins. To get to the head, one has to leave the cabin, go into the cockpit, and then back into the cabin, dumb! The Formula's cabin is actually decent, though it took them 35 feet to do what Chaparral did with 32.5, but the cockpit is lacking the four forward seating positions when cruising with two couples. Also, explain to me how you get the ladder up after you board, when it is located under the platform. The dealer network is still seriously lacking as previously stated.

I'm very disapointed that when listing comparable boats, you miss the most obvious the Chaparral 327 SSx. This has been the best selling 30 foot plus bowrider high bred since it's introduction in 2010. To top it off, no other high bred, including this new Formula can compare in the design and virsatility of the Chaparral cabin and cockpit. None can seat four adults facing forwards in the helm and companion seats. And most rivals cram sardine can sized cabins into separate consoles. For instance, all viewers of the TV in this Formula, except one, must look past one another's head to see the TV. In the Chap, four can comfortably sit facing the TV. This was nothing more than a puff piece for a company with no dealer network.
