Formula Boats featured the Formula 430 ASC at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. With nearly 40 linear feet of cockpit deck flowing on one continuous level from bow to stern, the 430’s SmartZone concept fully optimizes the space, creating separate activity areas that satisfy virtually every boater’s preference. The coupe design with a full-width motorized glass sunroof offers a flexible cockpit environment, while a perceptive blend of lounge seating and sporting-gear modules allow for a variety of on-water adventures. Add cabin accommodations previously encountered only in closed-bow vessels, including a convertible dinette/sleeping berth, aft stateroom bed, private stand-up head compartment and full galley, and you have everything you need as you head out on open water without the confines of a traditional, narrowly defined vessel.
The side console helm features a Raymarine twin Axiom Pro 12S GPS with the ability to upgrade to twin or triple gS165s, plus a more powerful transducer option for those serious fishing ventures. Digital switching with a helm-mounted dedicated Raymarine gS95 display and wireless iPad control puts total command at your fingertips.
Smartly integrated action stations are at the ready, with bait prep/tackle storage to starboard and a livewell/dive-tank module aft. The prep station features a freshwater sink, large removable cutting board, retractable raw-water hose, and flip-open workstation with tray recess aft. Below, twin doors with dedicated keepers for tools and lines reveal a forward locker with 5-gallon Yeti bucket and bank of tackle drawers. The pressurized 52-gallon livewell can also accommodate four dive tanks, while the portside fish box with available refrigerator/freezer coils preserves your catch. An aft-facing doublewide seat flips down at the transom for your choice of adventure. The 14 rod holders at the livewell, intake vents and swim-platform sport station are standard, while electric outriggers are available for the hardtop.
More than just a retreat from the elements, the 430 cabin provides a completely residential experience through the smart utilization of space that only Formula’s unique Crossover layout affords. A fully appointed lower kitchen, dining lounge/berth, enclosed head and stateroom sleeping aft bring the entire cabin experience to the 430 ASC.
The 430 ASC’s 21-degree deep-V hull with FAS3Tech multistep design and molded structural grid delivers the swift, stable Formula performance. Quad Mercury 300 Verado outboard motors, with the ability to upgrade to Quad 350s and 400s, respond instantly to your control with electronic shift and throttle and Mercury Joystick Piloting.
