Formula 42' 400 Super Sport

2015 Formula 400 Super Sport FX8 Major Price Improvement — Now the Lowest-Priced Diesel 400SS on the Market

Diesel Power • FX8 Package • Meticulously Maintained • Lift Kept

If you're searching for a true 40-foot performance cruiser that blends offshore capability, premium construction, and luxury finish, this 2015 Formula 400 Super Sport FX8 is one of the best values in the segment.

The 400SS FX occupies a rare sweet spot — sport-boat handling with yacht-level fit and finish. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-400 diesels, it offers a meaningful advantage over gas-powered competitors in efficiency, torque, and long-term reliability. At just 690 hours with annual service by Formula factory-trained master technicians, these engines are barely broken in.

Why This FX8 Stands Apart

Diesel Power — Twin Volvo Penta D6-400s deliver superior mid-range torque, better fuel economy, and longer engine life than large-displacement gas motors. Ideal for owners who actually use their boats.

FX8 Package — A step above the standard 400SS, the FX8 adds a carbon-fiber dash, Silver Diamond Pearl Metallic Imron hull graphics, LED accent lighting, and premium upholstery throughout.

Formula Build Quality — Hand-laid FAS3TECH® hull with foam-filled structural grid, chemically bonded and thru-bolted hull-to-deck joint, and yacht-certified construction. Heavier, quieter, and more solid than most production cruisers.

Exceptional Care — Lift kept, fully covered, professionally detailed after every use, and free of deferred maintenance. Extensive service records available.
