Boat Details
Description
Discover an exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously maintained 2008 Formula 40 PC—a premier Pacific Northwest cruiser now available due solely to the owner’s cross-country relocation to be nearer family.
INCLUDED: 11.5 ft Novurania tender with steering console, Yamaha 25hp outboard, and trailer. All furnishings, soft goods, and onboard equipment are included, ensuring immediate readiness for your enjoyment.
The 40 PC is a high-end performance express cruiser designed for those who demand the perfect combination of quality, comfort, style, and performance. This yacht is versatile in design, serving as a great day boat, a cozy weekender, or even a full week of cruising with sleeping and dining accommodations for up to six in the cabin. Great for making memories with family or friends. This boat’s been well cared for and shines with Imron Morning Sand Metallic paint that won’t fade (unlike gelcoats), paired with sharp interior finishes.
Powered by twin Volvo D6 IPS 500 diesel engines, this yacht delivers solid performance, agility, and fuel efficiency—cruising at 29 knots with a top speed near 36 knots.
The IPS pod drives offer distinct advantages over traditional inboard shafts:
•Up to 40% extended cruising range
• 20% higher top speed
• 30% reduced fuel consumption
• 30% lower CO2 emissions with minimal fumes, courtesy of the Eco Sound EPS 1000 exhaust
• 50% quieter operation
• Increased aft cabin space due to sub-waterline gearing.
The standout feature is the intuitive joystick control, simplifying docking and precise maneuvers without the need for bow or stern thrusters—accessible to operators with minimal experience.
***In 2019, the original ‘Series B’ IPS pods were fully replaced with advanced ‘Series F’ units, enhancing durability and performance with documented improvements detailed in available Volvo Penta marine literature.****
The spacious hydraulic swim platform with a concealed stainless-steel ladder allows for easy boarding and transforms into a shallow-water retreat at your chosen depth. Adjustable mounts securely support the included 11.5 ft Novurania tender during transit.
Optional transferable moorage is available at Leschi on Lake Washington, providing an unobstructed Mount Rainier vista, ample parking, and an onshore storage locker—see the slip photo showcasing this prime location.

Accommodations
The Formula 40 PC cockpit blends versatility with refined comfort, featuring a walk-through windshield with molded steps and handrail, a convertible U-shaped lounge, and a double-wide helm seat adjustable for sitting, standing, or reclining. The lounge, accented by two custom walnut tables, doubles as a spacious sunpad, with contoured seating upholstered in water-repellent DriFast foam.
An integrated wet bar offers a sink, a large 120v/12v refrigerator, concealed trash receptacle, and ample storage beneath a hinged Corian countertop, complemented by 14 stainless-steel drink holders throughout. A removable 32-inch smart TV, stowable below deck, enhances the entertainment options. Fiberglass lockers neatly store gear and water toys, while dedicated compartments house lines, fenders, and PFDs. Engine access is streamlined via a switched hatch or a convenient day port.
Below deck, the salon shows well conveying sophistication with high-gloss cherry cabinetry, ultraleather upholstery, and premium hardware. Privacy French doors separate the forward stateroom, and 6’9” headroom lends a spacious ambiance. The curved Ultraleather sofa pairs with an adjustable dual-height wood table, expandable into a two-person berth with a filler cushion, while two included dining stools enable seating for six.
Mechanical Equipment
Twin Volvo D6 IPS-500 diesel engines propel this yacht with superior performance, agility, and efficiency, logging approximately 450 hours as of March 2025.
Pod seals were replaced and anti-fouling bottom paint applied in Fall 2023, followed by a full main engine service in August 2024—with under 40 hours since—ensuring a seamless handover. Comprehensive service records, maintained by an experienced owner, are available.
Regular biweekly operation year-round, including full-throttle runs, maintains peak condition, reflecting meticulous care; fuel capacity of 250 gallons supports an approximate 300-nautical-mile range.
Galley Equipment
Corian countertop complimented with a large polished stainless steel sink, concealed two-burner electric stove, 120v/12v refrigerator/freezer w/ matching stainless steel front panels, stainless steel microwave, and concealed in-counter trash container. A 43 inch Samsung Smart TV and Fusion MS-RA770 stereo head unit offer entertainment for all. The Fusion head offers a wireless and removeable/portable remote control at the helm and/or Fusion App control as well, allowing for two zone control of cabin and/or cockpit. The head unit is expandable to four zones if the new owner would like to add speakers or make any modifications. (4) 150W 6.5” 3-way amplified speakers are found below deck. All lighting has been replaced to LED, which allows for minimal 12v usage and a modern touch.
The below deck salon accommodations include a tasteful blend of high-gloss cherry cabinets with dove-tailed drawer construction throughout, ultra leather upholstery, and top-quality hardware and furnishings providing a high-end display. Hidden privacy French doors separate the forward stateroom from the main cabin, and the 6’9” interior headroom gives the look and feel of a much larger boat.
