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.
Starboard Engine: 850 hours
Port Engine: 615 hours
Westerbeke Diesel generator: 415 hours
This boat is being represented transparently and is offered as-is, where-is. Known items include:
- The difference in engine hours is due to the port engine being replaced under warranty during the original owner’s ownership.
- Garmin radar is not currently working.
- Analog speedometer on the dash is not working; speed is displayed through the Garmin unit.
- Cockpit upholstery shows normal wear, some discoloration, and minor cracking beginning to form. There are no rips.
- Water heater works but is not currently connected.
- Spotlight is not currently working and may be as simple as a bulb.
These items are disclosed up front so that a potential buyer has a clear understanding of the boat before survey or inspection.
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.
