When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Cruisers Yachts 310 Express 2011 and the Cruisers Yachts 350 Express 2011 are modified vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Cruisers Yachts 350 Express 2011 measures 35,5 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 4,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Cruisers Yachts 310 Express 2011 at 31,3 feet (2011). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Cruisers Yachts 350 Express 2011 tips the scales at 175 lbs — 164 lbs less than the Cruisers Yachts 310 Express 2011 at 11 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
