DO IT ALL WITH THE FORMOSA X BOWRIDER. TAKE THE FAMILY OUT SKIING OR WAKEBOARDING ONE DAY » TRANSFORM THE X BOWRIDER FOR OFFSHORE FISHING THE NEXT.

It is true, the Formosa X Bowrider does turn heads wherever you go. The unique hardtop design and extremely versatile layout allow the whole family to enjoy Australia’s amazing waters.

The Formosa X Bowrider gives you three (3) key entertainment areas. The forward cushioned seating with storage area is fantastic for the kids; remove the cushions and add the casting deck centreboard and convert to a great fishing deck for you and your mates. The centreboard is conveniently stowed under the passenger console. For a better driving position to venture offshore, the X Bowriders have a higher dash and the comfort of two (2) embroidered, high back, contoured Bolster Seats mounted on aluminium storage boxes with hatches. The seated driving position has a large dash which is covered with Formosa’s unique Wake Tower with an aluminium hardtop visor, three (3) grab rails and a ski/wake pole welded to the top, designed to fold backwards for storing the boat. The unique ‘knuckle’ design features exposed perforated Aluminium plate on the outside, and inside is perfect for housing speakers. The large rear deck area has a lounge which can either be folded up flush with the transom or removed completely.

Standard features on an X Bowrider include a large aluminium bowroller, 32mm handrails, Tow-Catch™ Trailer capabilities, heavy-duty dive ladder, SeaStar Hydraulic Steering, moulded fuel tank and sender with filter, automatic bilge pump, transom deck tread, foam-filled hull, electrical harness kit, 3 cleats, 4 aluminium rod holders, white paint and Formosa graphics, plus more. Give your X Bowrider even more functionality with the popular Full Access ‘Active Transom’ option, where you can open up the transom area to create an open deck for the ultimate water access or lounge area.

Formosa boats are known for their stability at rest and the Quad4™ Water Ballast enhances this even further, especially in offshore conditions (for new orders placed from March 2023, the the Quad4™ Water Ballast will be included as standard).
