An exquisite piece of boating luxury, the Formula Boat Center Console Series 387 Center Console Sport 2023, is a marvel to behold. As an avid fan of marine vessels, I consider this new offering from Formula Boats as nothing short of brilliant.
The boat boasts an impressive length overall to transom of 38 feet 7 inches, while the total length is recorded at 41 feet 2 inches. Its maximum beam spans 12 feet 0 inches providing ample space and a stable fishing platform. It is an imposing presence on the water, both in terms of its size and its stylish design.
Its structure boasts an NMMA Yacht Certification, a testament to its premium quality and top-tier construction. The FAS3 TECH hull, constructed with a foam-filled continuous molded structural grid, yields a robust vessel that readily contends with challenging sea conditions. Furthermore, the INEOS Maxguard LE Gelcoat lends endurance to the exterior; and the boat assures long-term safety with its 10-year structural warranty.
Fishing enthusiasts will be delighted with a multitude of features intended to augment their angling expeditions. Among these are the windlass with a digital chain counter and a freshwater anchor washdown system, integral 316L safety rails, and several white/red spreader lights. Not to mention the portside door with a removable telescoping swim ladder provides swift and easy access to the waters.
The spacious cockpit provides an array of amenities, including a myriad of polished stainless drink holders, several dual USB charging ports, and an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. Additionally, keeping your catch will be effortless with the large trunk storage compartment and dual-side mid cockpit floor storages.
True to its premium class, the boat's cabin is nothing short of luxurious. It offers Ultraleather U-shaped dinette lounge/double berth, a Starboard galley with Corian countertop, and high-gloss finish doors, an LED HDTV complemented with a Blu-ray player providing entertainment. Comfort is at your fingertips as it comes with an 8,000 BTU reverse cycle air conditioner.
Engineered to perfection with triple or dual outboard engine installation, and enhanced with several distinguishing features such as a sea chest raw-water manifold system, this vessel is built to navigate seamlessly through varying water conditions.
Priced at an MSRP of $1,221,810, it may be considered a substantial investment. But given its remarkable features, the Formula Boat Center Console Series 387 Center Console Sport 2023 is worth every penny if you're a dedicated angler seeking the absolute best equipment to aid in your fishing endeavors.
In conclusion, the 2023 Formula Boats masterpiece represents the state-of-the-art progress in the manufacturing of fiberglass fish boats. With such impressive technical specifications, high-quality materials, and luxurious living features – this boat is a must-view for anyone interested in recreational fishing.

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
