2003 Formula 280 Super Sport

LOW HOUR | TRAILER | INDOOR STORED | CAPTAIN'S CALL EXHAUST | FULL CAMPER ENCLOSURE

Built by Thunderbird/Formula, the 280 Sun Sport is widely considered the most engaging boat to drive in the Formula lineup — fast, sharply responsive, and confident in the chop, with the feel of a well-sorted sports car. Its 21-degree deep-V hull delivers a smooth, planted ride, while the open cockpit layout puts the entertaining space exactly where everyone wants to be. This 2003 example is a freshwater boat originally delivered in the Muskokas and turn-key today: twin 5.7L MerCruiser Horizon V8s on Bravo Three drives, only 400 hours, full outdrive servicing completed including bellows and gimbal bearings on both drives in 2024, and a trailer with under 250 km on it. Equally at home as a day boat or a weekender, she's currently in heated indoor storage at Bay Port Yachting Centre in Midland, Ontario.
