The 310 that I have is the same hull, and it performs absolutely perfect in all conditions with the quality I expect from Formula.

You get what you pay for in the boat and try and test the boat on water in 3-5' rollers and you will be amazed!!


You are probably correct for ride quality expect for maybe for the Cobalt 303. But with a weight of 9750lbs vs 8500lbs it has a 5mph difference of top speed with same twin engines.

I asked the girlfriend and she said a big no no. Besides I like having a second pair of eyes looking forward for security.

At 34'.8" and a beam of 11'4" it is bigger than the others mentioned. Strangely at this size it doesn't have a guess bed? No sunpad at the back either. Maybe if I see it in person it wont matter anymore...

She sure is a beauty!

I always forget about sunpads. I guess in the South, we're more concerned about getting out of the sun smile

Anyway, looks like a nice boat if it fits your needs and budget.
