The Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover is the propulsion-flexible SSC that bridges CBR and larger outboard-only crossovers, offering sterndrive, twin-V12 or triple-outboard configurations on the same 38-foot hull.
The Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover is the propulsion-flexible SSC that bridges CBR and larger outboard-only crossovers, offering sterndrive, twin-V12 or triple-outboard configurations on the same 38-foot hull. Its strongest fit is owners who want full cabin accommodations and coupe protection but still want to choose between a broad sterndrive platform and high-output outboard power.
The 380 grows beam to 11 feet 6 inches and supports a substantial full cabin while remaining smaller than the 12-foot-beam 400 and 430. The stepped FAS3Tech hull is designed to carry either heavy sterndrive machinery or multiple outboards.
The 380 has one of the widest power menus in the Formula range. Twin sterndrives create a broad swim platform. Twin 600s reduce outboard engine count. Triple 350, 400 or 500R packages push total horsepower as high as 1,500.
When slide-open windshield is a priority, the reason to compare this boat with 360 Super Sport Crossover or 400 Super Sport Crossover is simple. When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, the sibling changes a major part of the ownership plan rather than just adding another foot of length.
For the 380 Super Sport Crossover, sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture should matter more than decorative options. For owners focused on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, a buyer who rarely uses that capability may get better value from the adjacent model.
For owners focused on slide-open windshield, the biggest ownership compromise is infrastructure. At 38′ 0″ hull / 40′ 7″ platform / 40′ 10″ OB running and 11′ 6″ of beam, the exact lift, slip, trailer or transport plan should be known before financing.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual boat before you commit.

When outdoor kitchen is a priority, Formula uses performance-oriented hull design across these categories, but the 380 Super Sport Crossover should be judged by what the dimensions mean in real ownership. When full cabin for four is a priority, beam controls slip and road width. For owners focused on outdoor kitchen, weight controls lift and tow requirements.
For owners focused on full cabin for four, draft controls ramp and shallow-water access.
In a purchase centered on outdoor kitchen, the published weight is not the delivered operating weight. In a purchase centered on full cabin for four, a full 250 gal sterndrive / 300 gal outboard fuel load, batteries, water, generator fuel where applicable, hardtop electronics, gear and passengers can add a meaningful margin.
From a outdoor kitchen standpoint, inspect the running surface in bright light. From a full cabin for four standpoint, keel, chines, steps where applicable, strakes, transom corners and swim-platform joints should show consistent gelcoat and no unexplained repair pattern.
The 380 has one of the widest power menus in the Formula range. Twin sterndrives create a broad swim platform. Twin 600s reduce outboard engine count. Triple 350, 400 or 500R packages push total horsepower as high as 1,500.
In a purchase centered on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, the exact engine package should be treated as part of the model name when comparing used boats. In a purchase centered on slide-open windshield, engine count, gearcase type, joystick hardware and total horsepower can change fuel burn, stern access and future replacement cost.
From a sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture standpoint, record every engine serial number and operating hour. From a slide-open windshield standpoint, multi-engine boats should have service records reviewed independently because one newer replacement lower unit or powerhead can make a matched-looking set mechanically uneven.
When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, outboard versions need lower-unit, propeller, trim, steering, mount and flushing checks. When slide-open windshield is a priority, sterndrive versions need drive oil, bellows or sealing hardware, gimbal-area inspection, engine-room ventilation and winterization history.
For owners focused on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, the 380 Super Sport Crossover should shift cleanly and hold a steady cruise without vibration or warning messages. For owners focused on slide-open windshield, joystick systems should be tested at the dock rather than assumed to work because the screen powers on.
In a purchase centered on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, local service access is part of the power decision. In a purchase centered on slide-open windshield, a high-output configuration is less attractive when the nearest qualified technician is several hours from the boat’s home marina.
A sea trial should run long enough to show how the boat behaves during sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, not merely prove that the engines start. From a slide-open windshield standpoint, the 380 Super Sport Crossover needs to idle, accelerate, cruise and return to the dock without electrical, steering, cooling or trim problems.
From a sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture standpoint, the right power package is the one that moves the normal crew confidently while leaving enough ownership budget for the service profile that comes with it.
Storage Length: Measure the completed boat, engines, platform and trailer if applicable
Fuel capacity on the 380 Super Sport Crossover is large enough to affect both range and loaded displacement. When outdoor kitchen is a priority, the buyer should plan from observed cruise fuel flow rather than assuming the published tank automatically translates into a fixed distance.
When full cabin for four is a priority, engine count and propulsion type matter. For owners focused on outdoor kitchen, a twin or triple outboard version can have a different tank figure or real burn profile from a sterndrive sibling on the same hull.
For owners focused on full cabin for four, a full fuel load also changes acceleration and lift calculations. In a purchase centered on outdoor kitchen, the difference is especially important on models carrying hundreds of gallons because gasoline alone can add thousands of pounds.
In a purchase centered on full cabin for four, freshwater capacity of 43 gal supports the cabin, head, galley, washdowns or shower systems that belong to this exact model. From a outdoor kitchen standpoint, those pumps and hoses should be run long enough to reveal leaks.
The 380 Super Sport Crossover should be sea-trialed at the speeds and loads the owner expects to use. When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, a short full-throttle run says less about ownership than how the boat leaves the dock, comes onto plane, cruises through chop and returns to a slip.
The 380 grows beam to 11 feet 6 inches and supports a substantial full cabin while remaining smaller than the 12-foot-beam 400 and 430. The stepped FAS3Tech hull is designed to carry either heavy sterndrive machinery or multiple outboards.
When slide-open windshield is a priority, at idle, practice reverse, a tight turn and a crosswind approach. For owners focused on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, larger Formula models carry enough windage that joystick calibration, bow-thruster response where fitted and engine synchronization can matter more than top speed.
For owners focused on slide-open windshield, acceleration should be clean with several adults aboard. In a purchase centered on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, watch forward visibility and whether the hull needs unusual tab or trim input just to feel level.
The full-width hardtop and slide-open windshield connect an open bow to a protected cockpit. Triple command seating, outdoor kitchen, convertible rear-facing sun lounge and a full cabin that sleeps four make the 380 a true multi-zone boat.
When outdoor kitchen is a priority, the cockpit should be tested with a realistic group aboard. From a full cabin for four standpoint, sit adults in the bow, helm, aft seating and cabin entry, then move from one zone to another without clearing seats first.
For owners focused on outdoor kitchen, storage matters because premium Formula models accumulate fenders, dock lines, boards, rods, coolers, towels, bedding and galley supplies quickly. When full cabin for four is a priority, empty showroom lockers can overstate how spacious the boat will feel on a real weekend.
In a purchase centered on outdoor kitchen, helm sightlines should work with passengers seated forward. For owners focused on full cabin for four, the driver should not need to stand constantly just to see over the bow during acceleration.
43-Gallon Freshwater System – Run the plumbing long enough to expose leaks, odors and weak pumps, because outdoor kitchen depends on these systems remaining pleasant after a full day aboard.
Cycle every moving panel, shade and seal, then inspect mounts and drainage; sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture quickly exposes rattles, leaks or hardware that only looked good at the dock.
Cycle every moving panel, shade and seal, then inspect mounts and drainage; full cabin for four quickly exposes rattles, leaks or hardware that only looked good at the dock.
Sit, lie down and inspect ventilation, moisture control and storage with slide-open windshield in mind; usable overnight space is more important than brochure dimensions.
Run refrigeration, water and latches while the boat is powered normally; for outdoor kitchen, a galley or wetbar must work underway as well as it photographs.
Use the seating in every intended position and walk the traffic path with adults aboard so sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture feels natural instead of forcing the crew to reshuffle constantly.

Match the exact engine package to service records, local dealer support and the demands of slide-open windshield; propulsion condition can outweigh cosmetic option value.
The 380 combines cabin galley, head, refrigeration, climate equipment, powered sunroof, large helm electronics and either an engine-room or outboard rigging package. It is a complex boat even before optional hydraulic platforms or stabilization.
Start with batteries and charging. From a outdoor kitchen standpoint, large Formula models can have multiple engine-start banks, house banks, generator batteries, chargers, inverters and heavy accessory loads. In a purchase centered on full cabin for four, voltage problems often appear first as random electronics faults.
From a full cabin for four standpoint, test every primary helm display, radar, depth source, autopilot or joystick function fitted to the exact boat. When outdoor kitchen is a priority, networked electronics are valuable only when the sensors and engine data actually communicate.
When full cabin for four is a priority, run bilge pumps, high-water alarms, blowers on sterndrive versions and automatic engine-flush systems on outboard versions where fitted.
The 380 Super Sport Crossover measures 38′ 0″ hull / 40′ 7″ platform / 40′ 10″ OB running and carries a 11′ 6″ beam. From a sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture standpoint, those figures should be compared with the actual slip, lift and travel route before the purchase agreement is final.
In a purchase centered on slide-open windshield, boats wider than conventional trailer width should be treated as professional-transport or permit-planning projects. When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, even when a trailer exists, that does not mean routine weekend towing is practical.
From a slide-open windshield standpoint, lift capacity needs a loaded calculation. For owners focused on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, start with 21,200 lbs sterndrive / 20,500 lbs triple outboard, then add fuel, water, batteries, options, stored gear and any generator or stabilization equipment.
When slide-open windshield is a priority, bunks need to clear steps, transducers, drives, outboards, trim tabs and platform hardware. In a purchase centered on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, a lift designed for another hull of similar length is not automatically correct.
A 380 should be priced by propulsion family first. A twin-sterndrive boat, twin-600 boat and triple-500R boat may share the same badge but have very different engine value, fuel capacity, stern arrangement, maintenance and resale audience.
From a sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture standpoint, the first adjustment should be propulsion. For owners focused on slide-open windshield, engine brand, engine count, horsepower, hours, joystick hardware and documented service can represent a large share of the boat’s real value.
When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, the second adjustment should follow the model’s mission. In a purchase centered on slide-open windshield, fishing hardware, cabin equipment, coupe systems, generators, stabilizers, hardtops and premium electronics only deserve a premium when they function correctly.

From a slide-open windshield standpoint, keep room in the monthly ownership budget for the propulsion service, fuel, insurance, generator or climate systems and marina infrastructure required by this exact 380 Super Sport Crossover.
Illustration only and not an offer of credit. Your actual rate and term depend on credit profile, vessel age, loan amount and ownership structure.
The most useful alternative to the 380 Super Sport Crossover is 360 Super Sport Crossover or 400 Super Sport Crossover because it changes a major part of the platform rather than simply changing upholstery.
The propulsion-flexible ssc that bridges cbr and larger outboard-only crossovers, offering sterndrive, twin-v12 or triple-outboard configurations on the same 38-foot hull is the reason to stay with this model.
For owners focused on outdoor kitchen, choose the alternative when the buyer needs its different propulsion, cabin, fishing, beam or systems profile more than the 380 Super Sport Crossover’s specific strengths.
The slide-open windshield side of this comparison should be experienced in person. In a purchase centered on full cabin for four, the right model should make that activity easier without creating a storage or service burden that feels unreasonable.
In a purchase centered on outdoor kitchen, the final choice should be made before financing so the payment supports the right hull and propulsion package instead of locking the buyer into a compromise.
Start with the hull identification and exact model year. When slide-open windshield is a priority, Formula updates propulsion menus, electronics, layouts and option packages over time, so a current web specification should not be pasted blindly onto an older used boat.
Verify the basic dimensions: 38′ 0″ hull / 40′ 7″ platform / 40′ 10″ OB running, 11′ 6″ beam, 21,200 lbs sterndrive / 20,500 lbs triple outboard published weight, 250 gal sterndrive / 300 gal outboard fuel and the published propulsion reference of Up to 1,500 total HP with triple 500R.
For owners focused on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, inspect the hull before getting distracted by paint or cabin decor. For owners focused on slide-open windshield, running-surface damage, transom repairs, hardtop stress or poor lift support can be far more expensive than worn upholstery.
In a purchase centered on sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, review every engine serial number and service record. In a purchase centered on slide-open windshield, the larger Formula models are often multi-engine boats, so uneven hours or a recently replaced powerhead need to be understood.
A final Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover fit check should simulate sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture with the normal crew aboard. That means loading the equipment, bags, coolers or fishing gear that usually comes along and watching whether passenger circulation still works. Empty-showroom space is less useful than seeing how the boat behaves when its primary mission consumes the deck the way it will on a real weekend.
Resale on a Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover will depend heavily on preserving the systems behind full cabin for four. Keep invoices for propulsion service, electronics work, plumbing, generator or fishing systems and any structural hardware. A later buyer can understand a well-kept boat quickly when the records explain why its equipment still deserves a premium over a cosmetically similar example.
Start your application with the actual Formula 380 Super Sport Crossover details with model year, propulsion, engine hours where available, seller type and asking price.
The strongest fit is owners who want full cabin accommodations and coupe protection but still want to choose between a broad sterndrive platform and high-output outboard power.
Formula publishes 38′ 0″ hull / 40′ 7″ platform / 40′ 10″ OB running of length, a 11′ 6″ beam and 21,200 lbs sterndrive / 20,500 lbs triple outboard approximate weight. When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, those numbers should be checked against the actual slip, lift, route and storage plan because installed propulsion and options can make the delivered boat materially larger or heavier.
For owners focused on full cabin for four, the current power reference is Up to 1,500 total HP with triple 500R. The right choice depends on engine count, local service, loaded performance and the way slide-open windshield changes fuel burn, stern access and future replacement cost.
In a purchase centered on slide-open windshield, published fuel capacity is 250 gal sterndrive / 300 gal outboard. From a outdoor kitchen standpoint, range should come from observed cruise fuel flow with the normal crew and gear aboard, while preserving a reserve instead of converting tank size directly into a mileage promise.
Start with propulsion and the systems that define sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture, then move to hull structure, helm electronics, plumbing, climate or fishing equipment and storage history. When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, deferred mechanical work can overwhelm a cosmetic discount quickly.
Choose the alternative when its different propulsion, beam, cabin or deck mission serves full cabin for four better than this model’s strengths. For owners focused on full cabin for four, the right comparison should change a major ownership decision, not merely a color or upholstery package.
In a purchase centered on slide-open windshield, use the published 11′ 6″ beam and 21,200 lbs sterndrive / 20,500 lbs triple outboard approximate weight only as the starting point. From a outdoor kitchen standpoint, fuel, water, batteries, engines, hardtop gear and stored equipment all belong in lift and transport calculations.
Potentially. When sterndrive-versus-outboard architecture is a priority, model year, value, condition, seller type, transaction amount and borrower qualifications matter. For owners focused on full cabin for four, sending Float Finance the actual listing keeps the financing discussion tied to the exact propulsion and equipment being purchased.
