Powered by five outboard engines, the forthcoming 500 Super Sport Crossover from Formula Boats is in a class of its own.

I think Formula went wrong on this one. Offering a 28 bottle wine cooler as an option? The windshield is a step back from the nice curved one they had 20 years ago on their whole line of boats. The boat is at the crossroads of too heavy/too wide so add more power but with more power we need more fuel (making the boat heavier). I'm sure the price is getting real close to 2mm.........

....because everyone knows outboards are less maintenance and more fuel efficient... I was going to say that 41,400lb is a LOT of tonnage to push through H2O but the Cig Tirranna is reported to be 39,700lbs. I guess Formula went down 2" in pitch

Nice write up Jason.

Thanks again for the great article, Jason! We are confident this model will be another home run.

Outboards are getting extremely reliable. But 5 of them... You're bound to have 1 engine give you issues every time you go out Lol. If I wanted that style of boat, I'd put diesels in it. You need that torque for such a heavy boat. IMO. More engines More headaches.

The first/smaller Formula is a very interesting concept and obviously is selling well. Like any smart mfg, you sell/deliver what the clients are demanding. More power to them for pushing boundaries of concept and design.

I remember when trying to perfectly sync twin and trip 2 strokes was a joy.... O/B have definitely come a long way

Hope the owner names it “Indecision”.

The hull looks nice until the back porch and stand up bar rail.

Joe at the old Hideaway marina made that exact same comment 10+ years ago while working on a quad engine Midnight Express. The outside engine would run dry in a hard turn and was causing trouble. He said to me look how much hassle your boat is with 2 engines, why would you want 4! Sensors/guardian mode whatever.

Yes
