2011 Formula 400 Super Sport "HOW-DEE"

2011 Formula 40 Performance Sport Cruiser — Great Lakes Freshwater Only, Volvo Diesel Power

Here is a rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained 2011 Formula 40SS that has spent her entire life on the fresh waters of the Great Lakes — no salt, no corrosion, no compromises. This is the boat for the serious buyer who refuses to settle.

The Boat Formula's 40SS represents the pinnacle of the brand's sport cruiser lineup — a wide-beam, high freeboard design that delivers exceptional offshore-capable handling without sacrificing the comfort expected from a premium cruiser. The hull is clean and tight, a direct reflection of Great Lakes freshwater-only operation and a lifetime of conscientious ownership.

Power & Efficiency Twin Volvo diesels deliver the kind of real-world performance numbers that are hard to argue with: an honest 30 mph cruise speed on just 19 gallons per hour combined — figures that will make any twin-gas owner wince at the pump. Whether you're running to a distant anchorage or putting distance behind you on a weekend cruise across open water, the diesel advantage is felt in your wallet on every single trip. Range, reliability, and longevity are the hallmarks of diesel cruising done right, and this package delivers all three.

Condition & Care This boat has never seen a drop of salt water, and it shows. The hull carries no bottom paint — never needed it — leaving the original gelcoat clean, fair, and unmarked by the caustic antifouling compounds that degrade lesser-maintained boats over time. When she's not on the water, she lives in a

climate-controlled building, fully protected from UV, weather, temperature extremes, and the slow deterioration that outdoor storage inevitably brings. Freeze-thaw cycles, summer heat, and humidity swings have never touched her — a level of off-season care that is exceedingly rare and impossible to overstate. The result is a 14-year-old boat that presents well above her age in every respect.

Custom Trailer Included with the vessel is a custom-built trailer engineered specifically to support and transport this hull properly — not an off-the-shelf compromise, but a purpose-built solution that protects the boat during transport and makes launching and retrieval straightforward. This alone represents significant value and eliminates a major logistical headache for the next owner.

Why Great Lakes Freshwater Matters Ask any experienced buyer: freshwater provenance is among the most meaningful disclosures in a boat listing. The Great Lakes represent some of the most demanding yet rewarding boating conditions in the world — vast open water, real sea states, and serious miles — all without

the relentless toll of salt. No zincs dissolving in brine, no electrolysis eating away fittings, no hidden corrosion lurking in stringers or through-hulls. What you see is what you get — and what you get is very, very good.

This Formula 40SS is ready to be put to work or simply enjoyed as the turnkey cruiser she is. Serious buyers only — she won't last long at this level of provenance.
