Owner Experience Review
Owners describe the 40 PCfromFormula Boatsas a versatile family and weekend cruiser, regularly used for inland-to-coastal hops like daytrips to Block Island and runs up the Hudson River. The cockpit is set up for entertaining; some keep the factory ice maker and say “I love the ice maker,” while others swap it for a refrigerator to match their hosting style. One forum comment sums up the sentiment: “she’s a fantastic boat, and you’ll love it.”
On the water, repeated owner feedback is that it rides much better in sloppy conditions than many other production cruisers. Handling is described as predictable and solid across drivetrain options, with one owner noting the boat “does not ride an ounce different” between IPS and inboards. Several used-boat threads also mention it “runs well with 1 MPG or better,” recognizing that real-world numbers vary by load and conditions.
Day-to-day livability is oriented to weekend or short-term cruising, and owners often personalize storage by removing the galley TV to convert that space. Routine ownership notes include occasional replacement or repair of hardtop hatches and cabin fittings, and the reminder that parts—whether OEM numbers or items sourced from Bomar/aftermarket—can be costly and take time to arrive. Maintenance threads highlight a specific caution on Yanmar 6LY2A-STP engines for valve-dropping incidents; contributors urge verifying service history and prior operating habits (overrev/overload). With multiple powertrain choices (Yanmar inboards, Volvo/IPS), buyers and owners consistently advise confirming what’s installed and aligning service support accordingly.
