Formula 457 Center Console Fish Walkthrough

Welcome to the Formula 457 Center Console Walkthrough

The Formula 457 Center Console represents the pinnacle of luxury and performance in offshore boating. Designed for versatility, this model seamlessly adapts to the needs of serious anglers, upscale sport cruisers, or a blend of both. At 45’7” LOA with a 13’9” beam, powered by triple Mercury Verado 600 HP engines, the 457 delivers exceptional performance and functionality, while showcasing Formula’s renowned craftsmanship.

Exterior Features and Design
The 457 offers robust offshore capabilities with a solid, sure-footed design that excels in all conditions. The wide, integrated hardtop not only shields from the elements but features a compound curved windshield with power-opening forward glass, washer/wiper combo, and a powered Wind-Armor™ spray system for optimal comfort while underway. Multicolored LED lighting, a center ladder, and access hatch complete the design, combining form with function.

At the helm, custom triple seats with sit/stand/rest adjustability, foldaway armrests, and ergonomic footrests ensure a comfortable and controlled driving experience. The electronics suite includes twin 22-inch Raymarine or Garmin displays with depth sounder, Mercury DTS with SmartCraft® VesselView®, Mercury Joystick Piloting, a VHF radio, and an optional Seakeeper 6 for enhanced stability, eliminating up to 95% of boat roll.

Fishing Features
Designed for serious anglers, the Formula 457 includes dual 50-gallon pressurized live wells capable of securing dive tanks, port and starboard fish boxes with macerators, and in-floor storage with YETI buckets. Premium GEMLUX® outriggers and available freezer plates make this vessel a top-tier battlewagon. Anglers can enjoy secure toe rails, ample rod holders, and the option of an upper helm station for added vantage and control, equipped with full helm functionality.

Entertainment and Comfort
The mid-station area is a hub of innovation, with a mezzanine bench that slides to reveal a Corian countertop and molded sink, doubling as a bait prep station or wet bar. It includes a Plano® tackle box system, deep storage, a stainless-steel fridge, and optional features like a Kenyon electric grill and supplemental air conditioning. The cockpit and bow offer ample seating with foldaway benches, forward-facing lounges, and a power-adjustable bow table that converts into a sun lounge. Thoughtful touches like dedicated rod holders, lighted drink holders, and multizone LED lighting with stereo synchronization ensure unmatched onboard comfort.

Cabin Accommodations
Inside, the 457’s cabin provides a luxurious space for overnight stays or extended outings. The 6’6” headroom, woodgrain flooring, and premium finishes create an inviting atmosphere. The U-shaped lounge converts to a double berth, complemented by a galley with a concealed sink, stainless-steel fridge, microwave, and abundant storage. The private head features a separate stall shower, VacuFlush toilet, and Corian vanity. With air conditioning, a 32-inch HDTV, and ample natural light, the cabin ensures comfort on every journey.

Performance
The Formula 457 is built on a FAS3Tech hull with a 22-degree deadrise, delivering speeds up to 60 mph with precision handling. Around the dock, Mercury Joystick Piloting with an integrated bow thruster ensures confident maneuverability, supported by Mercury’s DTS system.

The Formula 457 Center Console is more than a boat—it is a fully customizable platform for adventure, luxury, and fishing performance. Whether you’re headed offshore for serious angling or cruising distant ports in style, the 457 is designed to meet every expectation.
