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.

  • Port Engine: 850 hours
  • Starboard t Engine: 615 hours
  • Westerbeke Diesel generator: 415 hours 

Engines and generator were serviced in May 2026. New bottom paint and new zincs were completed in June 2026.

Notable Upgrades:

  • Lewmar Gen 2 bow thruster upgrade
  • New Garmin 943 GPS/chartplotter with transducer
  • Upgraded JL Audio sound system
  • Updated dashboard and steering wheel for a more modern helm appearance
  • Interior woodwork updated with new veneer
  • Cockpit and cabin flooring updated with PlasTeak-style flooring
  • Custom-designed bow sun pads
  • Side and rear underwater lights added
  • Cockpit upholstery updated a few years ago

This 2006 Formula 31 Performance Cruiser stands out from the typical 31 PC because of its rare Volvo Penta diesel power, diesel generator, upgraded bow thruster, modern electronics, refreshed interior, and thoughtful owner upgrades. It is a strong candidate for a buyer looking for a premium express cruiser with diesel performance, Formula build quality, and a well-documented list of upgrades and known items.

A great opportunity to own a rare diesel Formula 31 PC that has been enjoyed, maintained, and improved by a knowledgeable owner.
