Really nice bowrider, but with all the time we spend on our extended swim platform I'll take my I/O over outboards ANY day. Still, great review and a welcome 11 minute escape from the workday.
Mercury is really pushing outboards hard at the moment - so much so that they are offering boat builders huge discounts. They are struggling in the competition with Volvo and Ilmor, because they are still doing the same old big blocks and small blocks. I spoke to Scott Porter from Formula about this about two month agos. We are replacing our 2011 310 SS with a new 310 SS, and when we were at the factory doing the spec and talking outboards, he looked like someone who was about to hang himself when outboards came up. But that's the market currently and people feel like they get a more reliable package that is easier to maintain. But we're sticking with I/O and have ordered ours with Ilmor MV-8 570's.
I got excited seeing a test video of a bow rider. I really like this channel but I kinda feel it should be called yachttest. It’s rare lately to see anything sub300k. I’m sure there are tons of boats to test that are affordable by anyone not part of the 1%.
Quick question about the GPH reported in this .. 5000 rpm you were using 33.1 GPH and at 6000 rpm you were using 17.1. Haven’t seen a boat use less fuel at a higher rpm. Besides from that I think I just fell in love with this boat. Keep the videos coming on performance open bows.
They said a few negatives about this boat like every other boat. Most "reviews" from others are just a guy taking a tour around it saying "yeah i think the engines have 350 horsepower, and i heard that this has Mercury outboards"
Go to Formula’s website and configure the boat in about 2 minutes. This boat will cost you anywhere from 320-400 grand before any manufacturer discounts
Keep up the running clips. Those are a great way to hear how loud the boat is and how the engines sound with throttle 9:00-10:00

😂👌🏻
Good to see you again Captian Steve 👍
I always appreciate the thoughtful touch.......
Dig the commentary while running Captain Steve
I've been on a lot of boats and Formula is at the top of the list.
"Wife, kids, cat, dog, mother in-law, everything can fit in here"... I'm dead!
I love the clips of it running with his commentary. Sure looked like Capt. Steve had a blast in those turns.

Thank you, Andrew! And thanks for watching.

Totally agree! Its nice looking at the boats though. Would be nicer to look at things i can afford.
@@cowbear i would recommend buying a boat used aswell.
Great stuff, captain. Greetings from Ireland:)
Please finish with msrp!
Looks like right around $380k
I like the 5 years tow service, 'cause you know it's gonna happen.
AYYYY it’s captain Steve he is awesome
Great review. Awesome boat

GPH is the summary table are switched.
What ever model old it must be healthy and care and how much is it with shipping
Maybe do some family lake overnight boats
Great suggestion!
Capt. we want know how much this boat with shipping to Bahrain
What boat is the camera boat?
Formula 270 BR
Trust me the best one in the market rn is the Yamaha 275SD 2019-
yup I would tend to agree - same top speed, more range, shallower draft, and half the price. Or even better yet save another $50k and get a 242 s.e.
surprisingly only 49 mph tops speed, the io version gets 59 mph
We want know how much with shipping to Bahrain costly
Why does BoatTEST never have negative things to say about the boats they review??? Is it BoatCOMMERCIAL.com?

Please get rid of the music. It only distracts.
I was first!!
not bad for an Irish Kid.
No price wasted my time on video
