Formula Boats has been building high quality performance boats since 1962 out of Decatur, Indiana. As one of the few remaining family owned manufacturers in the industry, Formula has built a loyal following on the strength of their fit, finish, and on water performance across their sport boat and express cruiser lineup.

The 280SS is one of Formula's most popular Sport Sedan models, pairing a deep V hull with twin engine power and a cuddy cabin layout that gives you a comfortable place to get out of the elements or store gear without sacrificing cockpit space. The Bravo 3 duo prop drives deliver a smooth, confidence inspiring ride that the 280SS is well known for.

This particular 280SS is about as clean as they come for a 2001 with just 306 original hours. It has been stored indoors in heated storage every winter since new and the maintenance history backs it up. Steering ram, cables, sea pumps, bellows and drives have all been recently serviced and it received its first ever bottom paint in 2023. Drive service was completed in March 2026 and it is ready for the season. Mooring and winter covers included.

We started with an office conveniently located at the Toronto Outer Harbour Marina in downtown Toronto, only minutes from the bottom of the Don Valley Parkway and Lake Shore Road E. Subsequently we opened an office in Kingston and broker coverage on Georgian Bay and in 2016 we began serving the Vancouver area. Most recently we entered the Montreal, Vancouver Island, Kelowna, Lake Simcoe, Southwestern Ontario and Ottawa yacht market. We have really focused on establishing the best geographic catchment for both yacht sellers and buyers. We know the boat markets across Canada and most importantly we have the connections for buying and selling yachts not just from one location but from many locations. Our yacht brokerage often moves sold boats across the country and also to all points US and Caribbean connecting happy clients with the boat of their dreams.
