Seating for a crowd is comfortable and luxurious. In fact, filler cushions convert this entire space into one big “playpen.” Take that, wakeboard boats. There’s a table, and stowage beneath the lounges. Pause for a closer look at the cushions while inspecting this area. We discovered rot-free backing boards and upholstery fitted with drainage vents and made with special foam that allows moisture to pass right through. Seats aboard the 350 CBR will last a long time and won’t produce a wet squish when butt meets cushion.

In the aft cockpit, Formula’s convertible lounge serves as an aft-facing seat, a forward-facing seat or a flat-out sun lounge, and can be arranged as a recliner. Another differentiator of Formula’s lounge versus other morphing lounges is that the stowage beneath it can be accessed from both the platform and the cockpit. The wet bar in the cockpit is large enough to be called a cockpit galley.

The aft lounge rises on rams, revealing the engines. Twin 430 hp MerCruiser Bravo Three X sterndrives provided the push on our tester. These were bolted to some seriously sturdy bearers and stringers; Formula is capitalizing on its racing heritage with respect to rigging. We also admired batteries secured in bolt-down boxes, diamond-plate step pads and a through-bolted hull-to-deck joint. You can tell a lot about a boat after just a few minutes in its engine space. The 350 CBR screams quality. Our only gripe is that we’d like to see a handle, or recessed grab, fitted to the engine hatch. While its rams are designed with free travel so you can lift it manually should the mechanism fail, you’d still need to lift this hatch a few inches to get a finger hold under its edge.

Comparison boats include Cobalt's 336 BR ($230, 045 with twin Volvo Penta V-8 300C Duoprop sterndrives), Regal’s 3200 ($229,254, with twin 380-hp Mercruiser Bravo Three DTS Sterndrives) and Monterey’s 328 SS ($252,820, with twin 430-hp Mercruiser Bravo Three X sterndrives). I’ve also been made privy to the line drawings for a big Cruisers Sports Series bowrider that may be available later this year, but pricing isn’t yet available. These boats don’t offer the sheer size of the Formula, among other things, but I assure you that their intended missions rate them placement on the short list of anyone considering the 350 CBR.

Most boaters with cruisers use the cockpit way more than they use the cabin. The 350 CBR is for the boater who’s had that “a-ha moment” and realizes the need for more cockpit, a smaller cabin and a wave-taming hull.

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.
