Your reviews of this particular boat have been nothing short of astonishing. Based on your reviews and assessment, the Formula 500 SSC will be my very FIRST YACHT. 🍾 Cheers mate! 🥂

Favorite boat this year so far

This is the type of boat I'd love to own in Florida. In the PWN were I call home most of the time it would have to be a Nord Havn.

I've seen several overviews of this boat and you guys have done the best one by far.

Except for the docking at 10:50 when they just reversed the film from leaving dock.....LOL That was kind of cheap production

I've never heard of a boat decreasing fuel burn while increasing speed at the same time. That's impressive!

Been waiting for you to review 500, nice job. Absolutely awesome boat!!!

Best reviews by far! Thank you Captain Steve!

Love that Formula made such a large swim platform on this massive outboard model. Plenty of room for a tender - which you’ll need if youre island hopping in a boat this size.

Captain Steve, I have watched your videos for years and I have been a fan of Formula boats since the brought back outboards on their boats. This is that one boat that as a working Captain myself, I will strongly recommend to people if they want a boat to travel around Florida and go to the Bahamas.

That automatic transmission is the future of outboards. The increase in efficiency and range alone is going to push it into other outboards. I suspect the 4.6 V8 Verado will be the next to receive it.

Finally technology has improved in the boating industry. Amazing.

Where have you been?

This the first I have seen the 600's in the water. Very cool to see. Nice walk through.

i love the setup in the back and the fact it separates the engines form the walking deck. Hope more (smaller) boats use this becasue the only reason for inboard engines is the passenger comfort (using the swim platform) and overall design aspects. Other than that, outboards have been developing with insane speeds and are better almost in every aspect when compared to inboards.

Inboards are far better especially with jet drive. Outboards are for boats of poor design.

Do I win a prize for noticing the clip of pulling back into the dock was just the reverse video of the boat leaving the dock?

10:49 ; what a minute... is that just the pulling away from the dock footage in reverse? XD Great review as always!

You are a master Captain!

One I hope you get your hands on for review as soon as hull #1 hits the water is the Seaforce IX 610CC. That beast will supposedly have _SIX_ of those Verado monsters on the stern. A 61 foot boat with an anticipated top speed north of 70 mph.

I wouldn't be surprised if Capt. Steve buys one of these boats. He's obviously very impressed with it.

Amazing boat and great review. Coming back into the dock near the end the video has just been reversed from when leaving the dock. You can see it in the the bow thruster water.

They said the boat was not equipped with a bow thruster

Maybe it's because the companionway was open, but it sounded like a good deal of haul slapping when you were talking about how quiet it was.

Very impressive. Good sea trial.

Any idea what kind of range you'd be able to get if you raised the 2 center engines out of the water and were just cruising at displacement speeds? Super cool boat and great video (as usual)! Thanks!

I'm sure Formula will set your boat up any way you want it.

Would you own this over the Cruisers GLS? For family boating around the Bahamas.

I noticed the fill run backwards when docking but otherwise, damn, I want one.

Very nice boat and the Mercs are where they were born to be and doing exactly what they were built to do. That said my several mill. Would be spent on a little different type boat but more power to that 30yr old rich party boy. He could sure have a blast.

Awesome boat The best design period It's some smart boat guys I'll buy this knowing it's solid

Maybe they will offer the new “sport exhaust mode” on these 600’s which is now available on a couple of the new Verado outboards models.

Wonder if more gears are coming

This would be a great tender.

Why do they do that when anybody watching with boating experience is going to notice the reverse film edit during departure and arrival at dock?

@10:50 you can see you docked in by playing the b roll of undocking in reverse lol

Yup noticed that just now. I like this channel and reviewer clearly has earned his chops but please don’t say this vessel eases back up to the dock without a bow thruster when it’s a reverse play of the embarkation.

Wow . . . starts at TWO point EIGHT freaking MILLION !!

Great looking yacht! My only gripe is the fuel burn. I'm used to diesel's. I have a 2012 Sea Ray 470 that burns 35 gph running 28 mph. If I go 36 mph I burn around 40 gph. This boat burns 86 gph at 36 mph. Wow! Now granted it's a heavier boat but still that's a lot of fuel for a 50 foot boat. I would expect between 40 and 50 gph for this size boat. But again, it's gas not diesel.

Still no answer from Formula on what happens to the water when you berry the bow. I’ve looked at several videos and they don’t show any type of emergency drainage!

The outboards and transom area are freakishly huge. Those outboards are also very expensive. The fuel usage is ridicules also. This boat must have a gigantic price tag.

Di rupiahkan kena berapa satu unit boat...

Plane?

I assume that when we talk boats we talk knots as speeds, so if he talking miles per hour he means nautical miles?

where i buy one?

Whelp, guess I'll have to trade in my Sears and Roebuck tiller steer john boat for one of these.

It's funny how so many complain about the price of this boat, but don't have the money to buy one that costs a fourth as much. Then they compare it to boats that don't go half as fast. This boat costs 2 mil-2.8mil. It also runs 66kts. If you're happy with a boat that cruises at 20kts, then go buy it. That's not what this boat is for. This boat is for people that want to go from Miami to the Bahamas in a little over and hour...and have a lot of money to spend. LOL
