The Porter family shares many happy memories of boating together over the years. They know that well-thought-out,
top-quality features and construction make all the difference in boating enjoyment. Personal satisfaction for each owner of a prestigious Formula powerboat continues to be the Porter family goal.
Thunderbird maintains the highest manufacturing standards for you.
• The Thunderbird manufacturing facility was designed specifically for the production of Formula powerboats.
• A recent addition of 143,500 square feet accommodates expanded production and development of larger powerboats.

Dynamic employee programs result in progressively higher levels of Formula owner satisfaction.

• Formula owners appreciate this built-in reliability every time they boat.
• An on-site training program, C.O.R.E. (Champions of Reaching Excellence), expands and sharpens Formula employees’
personal and professional developmental skills.
Formula Reliability Centers deliver superior service to Formula owners.
• As Formula dealers are well informed regarding product knowledge, you can rely on them to provide expert technical
and mechanical service.
• Ready availability of parts keeps Formula boaters on the water.
• Dealers receive timely Thunderbird product updates and are assigned a Technical Assistance representative at the
plant to answer their questions.

Formula Guard, our Five-Year Limited Protection Plan, guarantees long term satisfaction.
Each Formula is protected by a combination of original manufacturers' warranties and supplemental product protection, which provides comprehensive coverage for a minimum of five years from the boat's original purchase date. In general, Formula and the boat's major component manufacturers (engines, transmissions, generator) administer warranty for
the first year of ownership. Thereafter, a supplemental product protection plan - Formula Guard - takes over, providing extended coverage for many factory-installed accessories and components, including the major items noted above.
Certification by the National Marine Manufacturers Association improves your safety on the water.
• As a charter member of the NMMA, Thunderbird continues to commit to product integrity.
• Your safety as a Formula owner is of primary importance to Thunderbird.
• Official NMMA certification is displayed in each Formula.
• All Formulas meet or exceed Association safety-based certification.
• Other manufacturers may indicate membership, yet not qualify all their boats for certification. Formula designer John Adams creates artistry that works.
• For the past thirty years Adams has been designing Formulas with sleek, distinctive styling that blends form and
function to perfection.
• Adams keeps Formula on the cutting edge of technical expertise.
• Beautifully styled Sun Sports and Super Sports are the number one choice in dayboating. |
