Power Boat Guide, states production started in 2007 replacing the 48. The guide sometimes has total units but typically after production has ceased for a year or two. I was under the impression that you could order one, however a Formula representative at one of the shows told me you can't. He said the area/building where they built the 45s is now dedicated to the 500 SSC, so essentially capacity is gone. He further mentioned that they weren't getting orders but are backlog with 500 SSC orders together with the other crossovers. A transient in my marina with a 45 told me his friend sent in a deposit on 45 and Formula sent it back to him. One would think there is still demand for a boat like the 45, but all the high end manufactures are building these expensive outboard, essentially day boats. Hopefully it helps us 45 owners when we go to sell.
