If you’re trying to picture the 2014 Formula 270 BR, think of a high‑end, 27‑foot luxury bowrider built for people who want both performance and comfort. It’s a sleek, sporty boat with a deep‑V hull—about 22 degrees of deadrise—so it handles rougher water with a smooth, confident ride. On the outside, it has that classic Formula look: glossy gelcoat, stainless‑steel hardware, and a wide 8½‑foot beam that gives it a very solid, substantial feel on the water. It’s not a lightweight runabout; it weighs around 6,200 pounds, so it feels planted and stable. Inside, the layout is all about comfort and upscale touches. The bow area is spacious with wraparound seating, and the cockpit has plush, well‑finished upholstery—Formula is known for its high‑quality fit and finish. There’s a big sun pad on the back, and the swim platform is large enough to make getting in and out of the water easy. Many models also include a small enclosed head compartment, which is a nice bonus for a boat this size. Performance‑wise, most 270 BRs from this year came with a big V8—either a MerCruiser 8.2 or a Volvo Penta 6.2—typically around 300 to 380 horsepower. That gives it strong acceleration and a top speed that feels sporty without being overwhelming. Overall, it’s the kind of boat that blends luxury, space, and power. Not a bare‑bones bowrider—more like a premium day boat for families or friends who want to cruise, swim, or enjoy watersports in comfort.

The River Knows Their Name On the Tonawanda waterfront, where the Niagara River widens and the breeze carries the scent of water and gasoline in equal measure, Collins Marine had been a landmark for as long as anyone in town could remember. The blue‑and‑white sign stood like a promise: Boats fixed right. Summers saved. Most people saw Collins Marine as a marina, a repair shop, a place to buy a Chaparral or Robalo Boat or rent a pontoon or get a tune‑up before the season kicked off. But for the locals, it was something more—almost a character in the town’s story.
