The 2024 Formula Boats 387 Center Console Fish is a prime example of a luxurious and high-performing Fiberglass Fish category boat. Renowned for being a prominent leader in the marine industry, Formula Boats once again proved their worth with this elegant and robust boat, making it worthy of a thorough review by See Dealer Cost.
Upon first glance, the boat's exterior is dominated by a NMMA Yacht Certification (pending), symbolizing a high standard of quality. The boat's durable build features an INEOS Maxguard LE gelcoat and a FAS3 TECH hull with a foam-filled continuous molded structural grid. This perfect blend of strength and design endows the 387 Center Console Fish with a unique elegance that is coupled with remarkable resilience.
The boat's cockpit is a true testimony of luxury and comfort. Five dual USB charging ports are strategically placed in the cockpit, ensuring electrical support for various devices. The digital switching system simplifies operation, and sophisticated systems such as the Mercury Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) controls with SmartCraft VesselView, and the Mercury Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) with Active Trim, take handling convenience to a whole new level. A Rockford Fosgate AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth, and a USB port further enhances the luxury experience.
The 2024 Formula Boats 387 Console Fish boasts an impressive cabin too. The cabin features woodgrain-finish flooring and luxurious decor, establishing a welcoming atmosphere. The cabin is also equipped with a spacious U-shaped dinette lounge/double berth and a 32” LED/LCD HDTV with Blu-ray player for entertainment. With an 8,000 BTU reverse cycle air conditioner for comfort, the cabin truly maximizes the pleasure of boating.
An important aspect to highlight is the safety features that the boat has to offer. With elements like automatic cabin bilge pump with high water alarm and a carbon monoxide detector, the boat prioritizes safety just as much as comfort and performance. Lastly, the boat also offers a reasonable fuel capacity of 500 gallons, ensuring extended enjoyment in the water.
The 2024 Formula Boats 387 Center Console Fish is priced at a manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $1,233,280, providing value for its stunning, comprehensive set of features which makes it truly a model of performance and luxury.
We, at See Dealer Cost, applaud Formula Boats for yet again creating a boat that wonderfully balances performance, luxury, safety, and comfort - setting a new benchmark in the Fiberglass Fish category.

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
