Our Thoughts

The 2023 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover represents a commanding evolution in the crossover platform—a 53-foot express designed to deliver both the open-air versatility of a classic bowrider and the full-feature cabin amenities expected of a true cruising yacht. This one-owner, freshwater-maintained example has been stored indoors during winters and carries exceptionally low engine hours, positioning it as a particularly well-preserved entry into Formula's premium offshore lineup.

Performance & Propulsion

Power comes from quad Mercury Verado 600-horsepower outboard engines paired with Mercury's Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) system, SmartCraft VesselView technology, and Joystick Piloting for Outboards (JPO) with Active Trim—delivering the kind of precise, intuitive boat handling that transforms both docking and offshore running. The proven FAS3Tech hull with its double-step design, foam-filled continuous molded structural grid, and chemically bonded, through-bolted deck-to-hull joint provides the surefooted offshore ride Formula is known for, while the integrated bow thruster adds another layer of station-keeping control.

Stabilization comes via a Seakeeper 9 gyro system, which meaningfully reduces roll in following seas and transforms the cruising experience, particularly valuable on longer offshore passages or when anchored in beam-sea conditions. A 16-kilowatt diesel generator with 50-gallon fuel tank and sound shield ensures independent power for the vessel's comprehensive electrical and climate-control systems.

Helm & Electronics

The helm station anchors a sophisticated electronics suite built around dual Raymarine Axiom XL 24 widescreen color chartplotters with integrated depth sounder and remote keypad control. A Raymarine 48-foot Open-Array Magnum Radar, FLIR M332 thermal imaging camera, forward and aft-facing Raymarine cameras with augmented reality overlay, and AIS receiver with augmented reality integration create a comprehensive vessel-awareness picture in all conditions. A dedicated Raymarine Axiom +12 display with wireless iPad control rounds out the navigation ecosystem. VHF radio, AIS receiver, and subscription-ready SiriusXM capability complete the communications suite.

The helm itself features triple helm and companion seats with individual sit, stand, or rest positions, power-adjustable backrests, and ventilation systems. Powered adjustable triple footrests with woodgrain vinyl decking and a pullout Yeti Tundra 35 cooler keep the helm zone functional and comfortable for extended running.

Salon & Entertaining

The enclosed coupe-top salon represents the heart of the 500 SSC's crossover philosophy—a full-width motorized glass bulkhead allows seamless flow between the air-conditioned salon and aft cockpit lounges, or complete separation when preferred. The tinted, tempered glass enclosure with sliding glass door panels to port and bar-integrated power-down window to starboard frames the space while maintaining visibility.

An Ultraleather L-shaped raised lounge with fold-out Corian table and tip-out barstools anchors the salon, while a 65-inch LED/LCD 4K Smart TV with Bose soundbar, subwoofer, and Blu-ray player provides entertainment. A 25-quart ice maker, pull-out beverage center with tempered stemware and glassware storage, and optional 26-bottle dual-zone wine cooler accommodate serious entertaining. Eight JL Audio M6

2023 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover: Luxury Offshore Cruising and Entertainment Yacht
The 2023 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover represents a commanding evolution in the crossover category, delivering a 53-foot platform engineered for both serious offshore capability and sophisticated onboard hospitality. Located in Port Clinton, Ohio, this freshwater-stored, one-owner vessel combines Formula's proven FAS3Tech hull design with quad Mercury Verado outboard propulsion, comprehensive electronics integration, and a thoughtfully appointed interior that transforms extended cruising into a residential experience on the water.
Overview and Design Philosophy
Formula's 500 Super Sport Crossover answers a specific market demand: a fifty-foot yacht that balances open-air entertainment and commanding helm control with genuine cabin accommodations and protected salon comfort. The vessel's design philosophy centers on Formula's SmartZone concept—a single-level, station-to-station layout that invites fluid movement between the expansive bow area, protected coupe-top salon, helm station, and aft cockpit lounges without the vertical transitions that characterize traditional cabin yachts. The hull employs Formula's FAS3Tech technology, featuring a double-step design with foam-filled continuous molded structural grid and a chemically bonded, thru-bolted deck-to-hull joint. This construction delivers the surefooted ride quality and offshore confidence essential for extended cruising while maintaining the structural integrity necessary for a vessel of this size and weight distribution. At 53.33 feet in length with a 14.5-foot beam and 4.25-foot draft, the 500 SSC achieves a proportional stance that supports both stability in following seas and manageable docking characteristics. The vessel's exterior finish showcases INEOS Maxguard LE gelcoat with Axalta Chroma Premier basecoat and Imron Elite clearcoat, paired with a distinctive graphic package that establishes visual presence at the dock.
Helm Station and Navigation Electronics
The helm station consolidates command and entertainment functionality through a molded composite dash available in Charcoal or Mocha with Liquid Black panels. Dual Raymarine Axiom XL 24 GPS widescreen color chartplotters with depth sounder and remote keypad provide primary navigation and fish-finding capability, while a dedicated Raymarine Axiom +12 display handles digital switching and system management via wireless iPad control. Advanced situational awareness comes through a 48-foot Raymarine Open-array Magnum Radar, forward and aft Raymarine cameras with augmented reality overlay, and a FLIR M332 thermal imaging camera—systems that extend confidence during night operations and low-visibility conditions. VHF radio with integrated AIS receiver and augmented reality overlay ensures communication redundancy and collision avoidance awareness. Mercury's Digital Throttle and Shift system with 9-foot SmartCraft VesselView display integrates engine monitoring and trim tab control, while Mercury Joystick Piloting for Outboard with Active Trim simplifies precision maneuvering and single-handed operation. The Mercury 1st Mate Safety and Security System adds man-overboard detection, theft deterrent functionality, and enhanced ignition security. The helm itself features triple seats with individual sit, stand, or rest positions and power-adjustable backrest ventilation, complemented by powered adjustable footrests with woodgrain vinyl decking. A tilt steering wheel in leather-wrapped stainless, dash storage compartment, and padded mobile device station complete the ergonomic design. A pullout Yeti Tundra 35 cooler and portside gear lockers with dedicated dock-line and PFD storage support extended cruising without requiring cabin access during daytime operations.
Propulsion and Power Systems
Four Mercury Verado white outboard engines rated at 600 horsepower collectively deliver the acceleration and sustained cruising capability essential for a 53-foot crossover. The quad outboard configuration distributes power across four independent units, each with thru-bolted engine mounts, automatic flushing systems, and stainless propellers. This architecture provides redundancy—the vessel remains operable on three engines if maintenance becomes necessary—while optimizing fuel distribution across the 650-gallon fuel capacity. Bennett XPT Premier dual-ram hydraulic trim tabs enable precise bow attitude control across varying sea states and loading conditions, improving both ride quality and fuel efficiency during extended transits. Four starting and three auxiliary marine batteries with battery retainers ensure robust electrical reserves, while a sea chest raw-water manifold system with galvanic corrosion protection manages engine cooling across all four outboards. A 16-kilowatt 120-volt diesel generator with sound shield powers hotel loads while anchored or moored, supported by a dedicated 50-gallon fuel tank. This independent power source enables air conditioning, galley appliances, and cabin systems to operate without engine running, essential for comfortable extended anchorages or marina stays.
Stabilization and Comfort Systems
A Seakeeper 9 gyro stabilization system operating at 240 volts significantly reduces roll motion during cruise and at-rest conditions, transforming the offshore experience for guests unaccustomed to marine environments. The gyro's active stabilization maintains comfort during extended passages while reducing fatigue for the helm operator and improving overall vessel handling characteristics in beam seas. Cockpit and cabin climate control comes through a 30,000 BTU reverse cycle air conditioner with mooring windshield sun cover for the helm area, complemented by a 16,000 BTU reverse cycle unit in the cabin salon equipped with Breathe Easy photocatalytic Nano-Mesh UV air purification. A dash multi-port air boost ventilation system ensures circulation throughout the vessel, while motorized Poseidon pleated blind systems in the cabin salon manage solar heat gain and privacy.
Deck Design and Outdoor Entertainment
The 500 Super Sport Crossover's deck architecture prioritizes open-air entertaining and water-sports accessibility. The forward bow zone features a modular wraparound bow seating and sunpad system with triple-wide forward-facing bow seating, two powered adjustable-height bow tables with woodgrain vinyl decking tops, and under-cushion storage for sun shades and seating covers. Two pop-up LED accent lights and a dedicated glass wind door with Corian frame define the bow's entertainment character. A concealed SureShade ATF electric power retractable sun shade protects the bow area during peak solar hours, while an all-weather bow cockpit cover in color-coordinated non-fading Sunbrella fabric with Seamark vinyl undercoating provides weatherproofing during storage or transit. The aft cockpit extends entertainment space through starboard and port lounge configurations. The starboard L-shaped aft lounge incorporates a 54-gallon insulated cooler with refrigerator/freezer coils and digitally controlled thermostat, while the port U-shaped lounge features a stationary Corian table with four drink holders and pop-up LED accent light. An aft-facing sun lounge with multi-position backrests and SEABOB storage completes the aft seating arrangement. A 240-volt Gaggenau electric grill with pop-up LED accent light enables galley-quality meal preparation poolside, while a sliding glass transom door with Corian frame facilitates direct access to the integrated swim platform. The swim platform itself features two telescoping stainless swim ladders, pull-up cleats, and an upholstered sport station with six stainless drink holders and sliding safety rails. Four full-spectrum color LED underwater lights with wireless control and sound-to-light stereo integration create ambient lighting effects during evening entertaining. An aft cockpit enclosure with easy-mount zippers in color-coordinated non-fading Sunbrella fabric provides weather protection without permanently altering the open-air aesthetic, while aft cockpit seating covers extend the life of upholstery during storage periods.
Salon and Entertainment Spaces
The enclosed coupe-top salon serves as the vessel's social hub, featuring a tinted tempered glass enclosure with sliding glass door panels to port and a bar-integrated power-down window to starboard. A motorized coupe-top Taylor Made glass sunroof with Poseidon retractable sunshades and soft panels enables dynamic light management, while multi-color LED accent lighting establishes ambiance. An Ultraleather L-shaped raised lounge with fold-out Corian table and two tip-out barstools accommodates casual dining and conversation, with dedicated cushion storage below. A 25-quart ice maker with dedicated water reservoir supports beverage service, while a pull-out Beverage Center with assorted tempered stemware, adjustable bottle storage, and optional 26-bottle dual-zone wine cooler serves the serious entertainer.
