Formula Boats of Decatur, IN, has announced the upcoming debut of its all-new 360 Crossover Bowrider. From the stepped FAS3Tech hull to the stylish glass-sunroof hardtop, this leap in day venture offerings is a refreshing, innovative choice for dayboaters. The 360 CBR is 36ʹ long with a generous 11'3" beam, and heralds the arrival of a new generation of open-bow dayboats—the first driven by Formula designer Michael Young, a John Adams-mentored new creative force in luxury-boating architecture.
Describing this new generation of Crossover Bowriders, Young says, “The Formula 360 CBR is a true blend of entertainment-ready comfort and the exhilarating agility that is rooted in our performance heritage. I’ve been excited to preserve that unmistakable Formula essence while introducing new features and finesse. Alongside the dynamic exterior styling, full-width wraparound dash, and innovative performance venting strategy, I’m especially proud of the reimagined transverse head with full-height shower—a standout feature in this class.”
True to its Formula CBR lineage, the 360 boasts an open bow with a single-level, flush cockpit and a true stand-up cabin with overnight accommodations and a spacious head compartment. The triple helm features sit/stand/lean command seating at the operator-friendly dash with a layout that maximizes space, comfort and style. The boat also features Mercury DTS with SmartCraft VesselView Joystick Piloting control, or Ilmor One-Touch PRO joystick control with MERLIN display, illuminated waterproof accessory switches, and digital switching with chart plotter control. Twin inductive phone charger mounts are perfectly placed at the futuristic helm, while the Rockford Fosgate dash-mounted, full-feature stereo remote control delivers music through twelve 6½ʺ JL Audio multi-colored LED lighted chrome-finished marine-grade speakers with 600W amplification and 200W lighted subwoofer. You may opt for the refreshing 16,000 BTU cockpit air conditioning to temper those warm, humid times on the water. The steering wheel features new-for-2025 styling accented by an upholstered dash eyebrow that elevates the classic CBR dynamics of the entire helm area. A lockable storage compartment at the top of the adjacent cabin entry door safeguards your valuables as you enjoy the day.
The cockpit takes a fresh, bold approach with sumptuously contoured seating, precision top stitching and color accents and piping that speak volumes in styling expertise. Seating is optimized and generous, featuring a U-shaped lounge starboard for enjoyment in the round, and includes a Yeti Tundra 35 cooler stowed underneath. Two dual-height Corian tables bring an upscale dining experience, and when lowered, add filler cushions for comfortable lounging and sunning. Portside, a double-wide lounge forward of the wetbar with storage under and backrest line locker, plus a companion seat aft, brings optimum flexibility with Formula’s Crossover SmartZone concept. Recessed lumbar areas provide six USB-A/USB-C charging ports and ergonomically placed beverage holders at the ready, a total of 24 beverage holders throughout the bow and cockpit offering plenty of places to set your drink as you enjoy the ride. The molded portside boarding door makes for ease of passenger flow on and off the boat. Storage is at every turn for all your gear—under seats, in lockers, and deep storage in the floor. The molded cockpit wet bar to port features a Corian countertop with integrated sink, a pull-out stainless-front refrigerator and trash container.
Notable options include the 120V integrated cockpit grill and a 24ʺ LED/LCD Smart HDTV. The rear-facing convertible aft sun lounge with multi-position backrest also adds to the sunning space and overlooks the expansive swim platform. An extended watersport swim platform with four drink holders is available on sterndrive engine packages, as is the motorized swim seat/step. Spacious storage under the aft lounge includes two standard fenders, accessory outlet and available 12V inflator, plus room for extras for a full day on the water. Both the cockpit and swim platform can each be finished with optional reFlex® decking, or platform only with PlasDECK® woodgrain vinyl decking, providing enhanced comfort and style.
The 360 CBR incorporates FAS3Tech multi-step hull technology and a molded structural grid to deliver the sure-footed performance that is a Formula hallmark. Power options include MerCruiser or Ilmor sterndrive packages, ranging from twin 380 to 520 horsepower, or, to be introduced at the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Mercury Verado outboard power, including twin 7.6L V12 600, or triple 4.6L 300, or 5.7L V10 350 or 400 engines. A 7.5 KW generator is offered for those wishing or requiring AC power away from the dock. Optional underwater multicolor LED lighting is synchronized with the stereo.
