Owner Experience Review
Owners tend to use the 400 Super SportfromFormula Boatsas a high-performance dayboat with credible weekend capability. The cockpit is consistently praised for its size and social layout, while below the two-cabin plan—an aft owner’s stateroom plus a forward salon/berth—supports short family cruises and overnights. Reported headroom around 6 ft 2 in and the brand’s fit-and-finish earn positive comments, though most owners treat it more as a sport-cruiser than a long-term liveaboard.
On the water, Formula’s FAS3Tech/FASTech hull delivers a stable, dry ride with agile manners for the size. Owners report strong straight-line pace; with appropriate power and prop selection, published tests cite speeds in the mid-40s and higher, and a forum ride report noted about 40 mph at 4,000 rpm in big swells. The boat is heavy (roughly 7–8 tons), so propulsion choice—drives and horsepower—meaningfully influences results.
Maintenance feedback centers on the sterndrives. Many boats were delivered with Bravo III/XR drives, and owner threads document upper/lower drive issues, with some calling the model a “drive eater.” It’s common to see used examples with replaced transom assemblies, drives, or full repowers. A motorized hatch and generally good engine access help, but routine sterndrive service remains a notable line-item; rarer high-horsepower or Ilmor installations can complicate parts and servicing. As always, performance and upkeep vary by configuration and history.
Pros and Cons
- Big, social cockpit and helm layout suit dayboating and entertaining.
- Stable, dry, and agile ride from the FAS3Tech/FASTech hull.
- Two-cabin interior with an aft owner’s stateroom and reported headroom around 6 ft 2 in supports short cruises.
- Sterndrive upkeep can be significant, with some owners calling it a drive eater.
- Heavier build means engine and drive selection strongly affects real-world performance.
- Interior focus favors day use over long-term liveaboard comfort.
