Performance & Handling Deep-V hull design (by John Adams): Cuts through chop, gives a stable ride at high speed. Precise handling: Feels sporty, more like a performance car on water than a cruiser. Power options: Many 2005s came with MerCruiser or Volvo Penta sterndrives, often with twin engines, delivering strong hole-shot and cruising speeds. 2. Quality Build Solid construction: Formula is known for hand-laid fiberglass, stainless hardware, and long-lasting gelcoat. Noise & vibration control: Foam-filled stringers and engine insulation keep rides quieter than many competitors. Fit and finish: Upholstery, stitching, and hardware are high-grade compared to mainstream brands. 3. Luxury & Comfort Cockpit layout: Deep seating, sun pads, and wraparound lounges — comfortable for entertaining. Cabin interiors (on cruisers): Rich cherry wood, Corian countertops, and upscale finishes that still hold up well today. Ergonomics: Helm layout is driver-focused, with easy-to-read gauges and comfortable captain’s chairs. 4. Style & Design Classic Formula lines: Sleek profile, low bow, and timeless styling that hasn’t aged much. Custom paint/graphics: Formula’s Imron finishes are durable and eye-catching, a big draw for enthusiasts. Polished stainless rails & accents: Give a premium look versus plastic fittings on other boats. 5. Resale & Community Strong resale value: Enthusiasts recognize the build quality, so well-kept 2005s are still sought after. Active owner community: Formula owners’ forums and gatherings are vibrant, with strong brand pride. Models that stand out from 2005 Formula 330 Sun Sport / 353 FastTech: Beloved for speed, styling, and open cockpit. Formula 400 SS (Super Sport): A luxury performance cruiser with big-block power. Smaller Bowriders (27–29’): Family-friendly, versatile, but still upscale. In short, enthusiasts love a 2005 Formula because it combines performance boating DNA with luxury cruiser comfort, all wrapped in a timeless, durable design. Would you like me to make you a “buyer’s guide” style checklist (strengths, weaknesses, what to inspect) specific to used 2005 Formulas? That way you’ll know what’s a selling point vs. what to look out for.
