Formula 34 Performance Cruiser

2004 Formula 34 PC

Freshwater • Bow Thruster • Twin 496 MAG MerCruisers w/ Bravo III Drives • Stored Indoors / Heated in Grand Haven

If you know Formula, you already understand why this brand continues to stand apart — and this 2004 Formula 34 PC is a perfect example. She is a freshwater boat, equipped with a bow thruster (huge plus on a 34’ express), and powered exactly the way you want one: twin 496 MAG MerCruisers with Bravo III drives. The boat is currently stored inside a heated, private facility in Grand Haven, making her very easy to show and exceptionally well protected.

This is simply a very nice boat overall, and it shows the moment you step onboard.

Formula’s reputation for ride quality and construction is well earned. The deep-V hull provides a solid, confidence-inspiring ride in real-world conditions, not just calm days. She runs smooth, tracks true, and feels planted underway — exactly what you expect from a Formula.

Another standout feature is the painted hull sides, not gelcoat. Painted hulls offer a deeper, richer finish and tend to hold their appearance far better over time. It’s a detail that elevates the look of the boat and separates her from many others in this size range.

The bow thruster dramatically improves low-speed handling and takes the stress out of docking, especially in tighter slips or windy conditions. It’s one of those features you don’t want to be without once you’ve had it — and a major plus for both experienced and newer owners.

The Formula 34 PC is an excellent entertaining platform, and this one shines in that role. The cockpit layout is open, comfortable, and very social, with plenty of seating and easy flow throughout. Whether you’re cruising, rafted up, or docked with friends, this is a boat that people naturally gather on.

This boat has been properly maintained. Engines and generator are fully up to date on service, and it shows. She’s turn-key from a mechanical standpoint and ready to be enjoyed without a long to-do list.

• Updated Raymarine electronics

• Starlink onboard, providing reliable internet connectivity on the water

If there’s anything to note, it would be the canvas. It’s not bad and is perfectly serviceable, but on a boat this nice, it could be tightened up or refreshed to fully match the rest of her presentation. A minor cosmetic item in the big picture.
