Formosa’s Side Console is the ultimate fishing companion, offering an elevated and expansive forward casting deck with ample underdeck storage. This clever design keeps your deck space clear, making it perfect for sports fishing enthusiasts who crave both functionality and freedom on the water.

With an open fishing platform and full access to the portside, the Side Console provides a spacious area for storing equipment. The low-profile console minimises wind resistance and maximises your visibility, ideal for those long days spent exploring inlets or cruising offshore. Plus, its compact height makes it an easy fit for garages with limited clearance. As standard, Formosa includes an Electric Motor Mount, providing smooth, precise navigation through waterways.

The forward casting deck features full storage beneath to keep your fishing area clutter-free. Built with Formosa’s trademark tough aluminium structure and equipped with a drainage system around the hatches, it keeps your gear dry and secure. The aluminium console is designed for both strength and practicality, accommodating flat-screen electronics, and comes complete with a windscreen, large storage shelf, and a heavy-duty grab rail for stability in all conditions.

The innovative driver sliding seat box adds versatility, allowing you to reposition the seat along the side pocket, creating extra space while fishing from the stern. From March 2023, new orders include a second sliding seat box for passengers, enhancing comfort and deck space. The seat box also houses a handy 2-tray tackle box, perfect for keeping your essentials organised.

Every Side Console comes equipped with two embroidered folding seats, a robust aluminium bowroller, 32mm handrails, Tow-Catch™ Trailer capability, a heavy-duty dive ladder, quality steering, and a moulded fuel tank with a sender and filter. Other features include an automatic bilge pump, transom deck tread, a foam-filled hull, an electrical harness kit, three cleats, and multiple rod holders (four on standard models, six on the 635). The boat’s exterior is finished with white-painted sides, interior details, and signature Formosa graphics.

Formosa boats are celebrated for their stability, especially when at rest, and the Side Console’s performance is no exception. The Quad4™ Water Ballast system further enhances stability in offshore conditions and, from March 2023, will come as a standard feature on new Side Console models. With this model, you’re ready for anything—from navigating tricky inlets to taking on offshore adventures.
