Performance and Comfort in a Compact Express Cruiser — 2004 Formula 27 PC | Earleville, MD
Here is a rare opportunity to own a Formula 27 Performance Cruiser — a boat that punches well above its class with twin-engine power, a deep-V hull, and genuine overnight capability, all at a compelling price point. Located on the Chesapeake Bay in Earleville, Maryland, this 2004 example presents an attractive entry into the Formula brand.
The Formula 27 PC was designed from the outset to blend spirited performance with practical cruising amenities. The swept-back exterior styling, anchored by a curved glass windshield, gives this boat a profile that looks fast standing still. Below decks, the cabin sleeps four adults and includes a galley equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, and stove — making weekend getaways genuinely comfortable.
With only 350 hours on the twin Volvo Penta inboard engines, this boat has been lightly used relative to its age, suggesting careful ownership and measured enjoyment rather than hard daily use.
KEY FEATURES:
• Twin Volvo Penta Inboards — 350 HP Each (700 HP Total), 350 Hours
Twin inboard power delivers the kind of performance Formula is known for, with the added confidence of redundancy on the water. At just 350 hours, these engines have significant service life remaining. Volvo Penta inboards are well-regarded for reliability and parts availability, making ongoing maintenance straightforward for owners in the Mid-Atlantic region.
• 27-Foot Deep-V Hull
Formula's deep-V hull design is the foundation of the brand's performance heritage — engineered to slice through chop and deliver a controlled, confident ride in the kind of variable conditions common on the Chesapeake Bay. Deep-V hulls are particularly valued by buyers who run in open water or deal with afternoon wind chop, as they track predictably and reduce pounding compared to flatter-bottomed designs.
• Curved Glass Windshield and Swept-Back Styling
The signature curved glass windshield is both a styling statement and a functional feature, providing weather protection at the helm while contributing to the boat's streamlined, performance-oriented profile. Formula's attention to exterior finish and design detail is a hallmark of the brand, and this design element reflects the same aesthetic DNA found throughout the Formula lineup.
