Formula 370/400SS - in market - wondering about updates/options
Hi Everyone,
Lots of great info on this thread. In the market looking at 370/400ss. In an ideal situation I would like a hardtop, with extended platform, and diesels, but this isn't in the budget with our first youngster on the way.
Looking for a used 370ss/400ss, thinking about 496HO's, something reliable. Top end isn't a concern for us, want something to cruise between 25mph and 35 mph. Primary use is St Lawrence/Lake Ontario cursing at 10-15 knots for 95% of the time. Towing our seadoo at low speeds when heading out for a day.
A few questions:
If I get a boat with a radar arch, is there a way to add a hardtop? Does anyone make one?
Extended platform - is there an aftermarket option to add onto a boat - want to have extra room with the kids and friends when at anchor.
Bracket to add flatscreen tv to radar arch
-Is a bow thruster required with stern drives?
What sort of fuel consumption can I expect with 496's.
What other options/features should I be looking for/considering?
How comfortable are these boats in foul weather with full enclosure?
Thanks in advance, looking forwards to all comments!
