Whenever the topic of top-of-the-line Bow Riders comes up in the nautical circles, one name distinctly reverberates - the sophisticated and robust Formula 270 Bowrider. The new 2022 Formula Boat Bowrider Series 270 Bowrider 2022, that I recently had the pleasure of reviewing, has further solidified my belief in the brand's dedication to providing a quality experience to boating enthusiasts.
The first thing one can observe about this Bow Rider is its yacht-like stylings and superior craftsmanship exterior. P of Formula's dedication to quality is evident in the NMMA Yacht Certification that the 270 Bowrider comes with, along with a solid 10-year structural warranty. This strong and dependable watercraft also comes with a transferable 5-Year Formula Guard Limited Protection Plan, which certainly provides peace of mind to potential owners.
The design employs pressure-treated Perma Panel structural hull matrix and foam-filled hull cavities that ensure stability and durability. The immaculate finishing with Imron graphic A, B, or C along with cockpit accent striping gives it a classy aesthetic and undeniable presence in the water.
On stepping into the boat, you're welcomed by the continuous molded cockpit liner characterized by dash panels with brushed graphite finish and wood burl accents. The comprehensive Livorsi illuminated instrumentation and dash panel-mounted Ritchie compass are some of the top-notch features that the boat offers. The on-board Clarion AM/FM/CD stereo with a waterproof dash-mounted multi-feature remote guarantees absolute entertainment.
The Formula Boat Bowrider Series 270 Bowrider 2022's cabin is a testament to thoughtful design. It houses a portable head unit and a carbon monoxide detector to ensure safety along with side panel storage for convenience. As for the engine, it's a single installation type that comes with courtesy lighting, a fume detector, and an automatic fire extinguisher, exemplifying the brand's commitment to superior functionality.
But what sets 270 Bowrider truly apart is its holistic blend of comfort, style, and performance. The boat is measured at 27'0", making it spaciously comfortable. It boasts a weight of approximately 6,200 lbs and a fuel capacity of 101 gallons, making it ideal for long, serene cruises or thrilling water adventures.
While the high-end price tag, with an MSRP of $199090, may be a deterrent for some, considering the quality, impeccable design details and the renowned reliability of Formula Boats, it can certainly be seen as an investment worth every penny.
I can say, without a shred of doubt, that this 2022 Formula Boat Bowrider Series 270 Bowrider is a clear frontrunner in the redefined boating experience. It offers a harmonious fusion of thrilling performance, luxurious amenities, and detailed craftsmanship. It's not just a boat; it's an exquisite piece of design that makes a statement!

When our family wanted to purchase our first boat we tried to find information for research. However the only information available at that time was sales brochures. All of the product information originated from the manufactures. The only price we could find was the retail price listings or MSRP (Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price). Magazines featured articles, and had really great photo layouts, it only offered product description and the (MSRP) retail price.
We went to the dealership where the sales guy held all the cards. The best thing he had going for him was our lack of information. We tried to wrangle on price without any real success. We bought the boat, but we paid too much. After that experience we felt there had to be a better way.
So we started this website because we did not want anyone else to feel disadvantaged like our family did that day. We discussed what we would like to see. We found experts in their fields and started asking questions. We then put together a team to research products and most importantly the dealer price. We started with boats and realized that there was a great need for information on many kinds of large purchase recreational vehicles and products.
Look when you visit a dealership for a boat, motorcycle or camper, if you have not done your research your negotiation for that item will start with the Manufactures Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The highest price you could pay. The sales person will try to see what you know and size you up. If you do not have product knowledge including what the cost was to the dealer – you are going to pay too much.
See Dealer Cost™ offers product information that is in-depth and understandable. You can build your ideal product on line and see what it cost before you walk into a dealership. See Dealer Cost™ gives you the product options and most importantly the cost without the pressure of someone trying to talk you into something.
Knowledge is power.
After you find the product you want on See Dealer Cost™ and configure the options. You can save it to view or reference later. You can also print out what you put together (with the price). In turn you can use this information to negotiate your best deal.
What if the item is used? We are making available all the information we have gathered over the years so you can research to see the original cost. Even on used items you can use our site to negotiate your best deal.
Our passion here at See Dealer Cost™ is to give people power and knowledge. We were at a disadvantage once and we did not like the feeling.
By the way this great idea we had to build a website with this information. We had to fight to be able to bring this information to you. See Dealer Cost™ was supposed to be a one hit wonder. The manufactures magazines that they send to dealers said we would be dead in no time. They pounded their fists on their desks and said the consumer did not want or need this information. They said we would put them out of business. We were sued multiple times by manufacturers for this information. We are still here.
Why would they not want you to be able to see and use this information? They were afraid that you the consumer would be the true winner.
As it turns out – this information has not put anyone out of business. A consumer who is knowledgeable is confident buyer.
So we continue on with our team of experienced and expert people. We constantly update product lines and most importantly the cost so you have information to make your best deal.
We are proud of the team and proud to be able to assist you in your recreational purchase. We do not sell any of the items listed – we just gather the information.
The products include thousands of boats, motors, campers, motorcycles and more. We are constantly working to expand the information we present for you.
We all have families. We hope your buying experience is a better one than our family’s first purchase. Use this website to be a knowledgeable more confident buyer.
We hope we are a valuable resource for you. Enjoy your purchase.
Thanks,
See Dealer Cost™ Team Members
