Our Take

The 2025 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover represents one of the most capable and versatile platforms in the modern offshore cruiser category—a vessel that delivers genuine performance, comfortable accommodations, and the flexibility to serve equally well as a day boat or weekend cruiser. TAKE 5 embodies exactly what the Super Sport Crossover concept was engineered to accomplish: combining the speed and handling of a performance center console with the comfort, overnight capability, and entertaining space of a true motor yacht.

At 56 feet 3 inches overall with a 50-foot waterline and 14-foot 6-inch beam, this Formula is built on a deep-V twin-stepped FRP hull designed by John Adams—a design that has proven itself across thousands of miles of coastal and offshore running. The striking blue gradient Imron hull finish gives her a contemporary, bold presence, while the hull form itself delivers the kind of predictable sea-keeping and fuel efficiency that separates a serious crossover from a one-trick performance boat.

Power and Performance

TAKE 5 is powered by quad Mercury 600 V12 outboards, delivering 2,400 combined horsepower and offering the kind of acceleration, top-end speed, and redundancy that today's serious boating demands. With approximately 175 to 177 hours logged as of May 2026, these engines are barely broken in. The reported 40-knot cruise speed and 65-knot maximum speed make her capable of confident coastal runs, fast island-hopping, and the kind of performance envelope that keeps a 56-footer feeling agile and responsive rather than sluggish. The quad outboard configuration also provides the modern advantage of independent engine management, easier servicing, and the kind of reliability that comes from proven Mercury V12 engineering.

Her propulsion package is complemented by a bow thruster and SK6 gyro stabilizer—systems that transform docking, maneuvering in tight quarters, and comfort while underway or at rest. For owners who have experience with traditional inboard or twin-screw setups, the combination of quads, thruster, and active stabilization creates a handling profile that is both intuitive and confidence-inspiring.

Deck Layout and Entertainment

The deck plan reflects the crossover philosophy: open-air entertaining space designed for South Florida's boating culture. The cockpit is arranged around social connection and relaxation, with generous seating, a cockpit table, and cushioning that invites guests to settle in for long days on the water. A cockpit shower, integrated speakers, searchlights, and an anchor windlass with adequate scope management round out the practical entertaining package. This is a boat built for sandbar days, sunset runs, and the kind of weekend escapes that define coastal ownership in Florida.

Below Deck Accommodations

Below, TAKE 5 offers genuine sleeping accommodations rather than token berths—a single stateroom with a proper head and freshwater shower. While not designed as a liveaboard, the cabin provides real comfort for overnight trips, weekend getaways, and the kind of flexibility that transforms a performance boat into a true cruiser. The 100-gallon freshwater capacity, 60-gallon holding tank, and 650-gallon fuel capacity combine to give owners meaningful range and the ability to spend extended time away from the dock without constant resupply.

Electronics, Navigation, and Systems

The electronics package reflects Formula's commitment to modern connectivity and safety. Four Raymarine chartplotters provide redundancy and multi-station navigation capability, while a Raymarine Cyclone radar, GPS, AIS,

2025 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover TAKE 5: Premium Offshore Crossover with Quad Mercury Power and Raymarine Electronics
The 2025 Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover represents one of the most refined expressions of the modern performance cruiser—a vessel engineered to bridge the gap between day boating excitement and overnight comfort, coastal speed and seaworthy stability, open-air entertainment and protected accommodations. TAKE 5, delivered as a new 2025 model and located in Deerfield Beach, Florida, exemplifies this philosophy with quad Mercury 600 V12 outboard power, advanced stabilization, comprehensive Raymarine electronics, and a thoughtfully proportioned layout that rewards both high-speed coastal running and relaxed weekend anchoring.
Overview: Formula's Flagship Crossover Concept
The Formula 500 Super Sport Crossover is a 56-foot platform designed by Thunderbird Formula to serve discerning owners who refuse to compromise between performance and comfort. At 56 feet 3 inches overall with a 50-foot waterline and 14-foot 6-inch beam, TAKE 5 carries substantial volume and stability without sacrificing the agility and speed expected from a modern outboard-powered cruiser. The deep-V twin-stepped fiberglass hull, designed by John Adams, is the foundation of her seakeeping character—a design that manages wave impact, reduces pounding in rough conditions, and maintains control at both displacement and planing speeds. The striking blue gradient Imron hull finish announces her presence with modern visual confidence, while the overall proportions and sheer line convey the purposeful stance of a vessel built for both style and substance. For buyers evaluating late-model Formula models in the 50-plus-foot category, the 500 SSC bridges the gap between compact center consoles and full-displacement motor yachts, offering the fuel efficiency and responsiveness of outboard propulsion combined with the accommodation standards and electronics sophistication of larger cruising vessels.
Power and Performance: Quad Mercury 600 V12 Outboards
TAKE 5 is powered by four Mercury 600 V12 outboard engines, a configuration that delivers 2,400 combined horsepower and represents the upper tier of outboard propulsion for vessels in this size and category. With approximately 175 to 177 engine hours recorded as of May 2026, the engines remain in the early stage of their operational life, a meaningful factor for buyers evaluating used outboard-powered vessels. The reported performance envelope places cruise speed at approximately 40 miles per hour and maximum speed at 65 miles per hour, figures that reflect realistic sea state conditions and loading rather than theoretical maximums. At cruising speed, TAKE 5 offers the dual advantage of efficient fuel consumption across the 650-gallon capacity and the ability to cover significant distances—from South Florida to the Bahamas , the Keys, or offshore fishing grounds—without excessive fuel stops. The quad-engine configuration also provides redundancy; if one engine requires service, the remaining three maintain adequate power for return to port or continued cruising at reduced speed. Quad outboards demand a robust transom and sophisticated weight distribution. The Formula 500 SSC is engineered to manage this load, with the hull design and structural reinforcement supporting the propulsion system's demands while maintaining the handling and seakeeping characteristics for which the model is known.
Hull Design and Seakeeping: Deep-V Twin-Stepped Construction
The deep-V twin-stepped fiberglass hull is the mechanical expression of Formula's design philosophy for this model. The twin-step configuration breaks up the wetted surface as the hull planes, reducing drag and improving fuel efficiency compared to traditional deep-V designs. The steps also help manage water flow and reduce the suction effect that can cause porpoising or instability in rough seas. At a draft of 4 feet 3 inches, TAKE 5 draws enough water to remain stable and predictable in offshore conditions while remaining shallow enough for exploration of Florida's extensive shallow-water destinations—the Intracoastal Waterway, the Bahamas Bank, and the shallow flats that define much of South Florida boating.
Stabilization and Handling: SK6 Gyro and Bow Thruster
Comfort and control at anchor or in beam seas is enhanced by the SK6 gyro stabilizer, a Seakeeper system that uses gyroscopic technology to counteract roll motion. For owners planning extended overnight anchoring or weekend cruising, the SK6 significantly improves the experience of relaxation and sleep, reducing the constant motion that can fatigue guests and detract from the pleasure of being offshore. The bow thruster provides precise directional control during docking and maneuvering in tight spaces—a practical advantage in crowded South Florida anchorages, marina approaches, and when holding position in current. Combined with the proportional joystick control available on modern outboard systems, the bow thruster transforms docking from a multi-point maneuver into a single-lever operation, a meaningful upgrade in handling ease for owners of larger vessels.
Deck Layout and Entertainment: Open-Air Design for Social Cruising
The cockpit is the social and operational heart of the Formula 500 SSC, and TAKE 5's layout reflects the model's emphasis on open-air enjoyment. The generous seating arrangement accommodates groups comfortably, while the cockpit table provides a focal point for dining, card games, and casual gathering. Cockpit cushions enhance comfort during extended days on the water, and the cockpit shower allows rinsing off salt spray and sand—a practical amenity that extends comfort and hygiene during multi-day cruising. Cockpit speakers integrate audio entertainment into the outdoor experience, supporting everything from ambient music during anchorings to energetic soundtracks for social gatherings. Searchlights extend the usability of the vessel into evening hours, illuminating the surrounding water and anchorage area for safety and ambiance. The anchor windlass automates the process of raising and lowering ground tackle, reducing the physical labor and skill required for anchoring and reducing the risk of crew injury. For owners planning frequent overnight anchoring or extended cruising itineraries, the windlass is a practical investment in convenience and safety.
Accommodations and Interior Comfort
Below the open-air cockpit, TAKE 5 provides a cabin designed for overnight comfort and short-range cruising. The layout includes one stateroom with one berth, accommodating two people for sleeping, plus one head (marine bathroom) with freshwater shower. While modest compared to larger motor yachts, the cabin provides genuine refuge from weather, a place to rest during overnight anchoring, and the privacy and facilities necessary for weekend getaways. The 100-gallon freshwater capacity supports several days of cruising with conservative use, while the 60-gallon holding tank manages wastewater with adequate capacity for extended time away from pumpout facilities. These practical systems, combined with the cabin's ability to maintain climate control and provide shelter, elevate TAKE 5 beyond the typical center console experience, allowing owners to extend their time on the water and explore more distant destinations.
Power Generation and Systems: Kohler 16kW Generator
The Kohler 16-kilowatt generator, with approximately 240 operating hours, provides electrical power for air conditioning, galley appliances, battery charging, and electronics operation while at anchor or during periods when the main engines are off. The relatively low generator hours indicate minimal use, suggesting the vessel has spent more time cruising underway than sitting at anchor—a positive indicator for mechanical condition and owner usage patterns. Fiberglass fuel and water tanks eliminate corrosion concerns and extend service life compared to metal tanks, a design choice that reflects Formula's focus on long-term durability and low-
