2006 Formula 31 Performance Cruiser
Rare Volvo Diesel Power!
Bow Thruster, Diesel Generator
This 2006 Formula 31 Performance Cruiser is a rare and highly desirable diesel-powered example of Formula’s premium express cruiser. While many 31 PCs were equipped with gasoline MerCruiser power, this boat is powered by twin Volvo Penta D4-260 diesel engines, giving it a unique advantage in efficiency, torque, reliability, and overall cruising confidence..
This is a two-owner boat that has been known and used by the current owner for the past seven years. It has been thoughtfully upgraded, maintained, and modernized while still retaining the classic Formula quality, layout, and performance that make the 31 PC such a respected cruiser.
The boat is equipped with a Lewmar Gen 2 bow thruster, a 7.6 kW/120V Westerbeke diesel generator with sound shield, updated Garmin electronics, upgraded JL Audio sound system, refreshed interior finishes, PlasTeak cockpit and cabin flooring, custom bow sun pads, underwater lights, and a recently modernized helm area.
