The Formula 34 PC was Formula's mid-size performance cruiser through the early 2000s: a 34-foot express-style cruiser built around twin big-block gas inboards with a full mid-cabin layout, walk-thru windshield, and Formula's signature laminate quality. This 2004 example is a freshwater Lake Erie boat with low hours on both engines per the seller.
Twin Mercruiser 496 MAG inboards (8.1L) power the boat, with a Lewmar bow thruster for tight-slip handling. The radar arch, full camper enclosure, and walk-thru windshield extend the season on Lake Erie, and the wet bar with sink and refrigerator turns the cockpit into a usable lounge. Currently stored in a heated shed in Cleveland near Edgewater. Owner is upgrading.
Why This Boat
The Formula 34 PC holds its value because Formula built it to a higher standard than most production boats of the era: laminate quality, fit and finish, and a hull designed for offshore-style cruising on the Great Lakes. Twin 496 MAGs give you 8.1 liters of big-block torque per side, which is meaningful when you're moving a 34-footer through Lake Erie chop. A Lewmar bow thruster on a boat this size makes solo docking a non-event. The biggest variable on a 21-year-old gas cruiser is engine condition, and this one has low hours on both original Mercruisers per the seller. The radar arch, walk-thru windshield, and full enclosure are configuration choices that hold up well on Lake Erie, where you want the cabin closed and dry on a windy afternoon out of the central basin.
Condition & Next Steps
Always freshwater per the seller. Low hours on both Mercruiser 496 MAG inboards (under 400). Stored in a heated shed at intake, and the hull was detailed before the listing photos were taken. Cockpit upholstery, salon leather, and master stateroom interior all present well in the photos. The seller is upgrading.
