Taking Center Consoles to the Next Level

Screen Shot 2023-11-06 at 2.56.48 PM

The Formula 457 CCF, now building for introduction at MIBS, has an optional elevated bridge, great for fish spotting as well as for guests to enjoy the view. Standard power is 3x 600 hp Mercury outboards, which should make her double-stepped deep-vee hull very fast. She’ll also be available as a sports model with powered sliding glass doors.
