Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 292 FASTECH 2011 vs Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Formula 292 FASTECH 2011 against a modified vee Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Formula 292 FASTECH 2011 at 29,2 ft versus Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 at 31,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 9 875 lbs — 9 868 lbs less than the Formula 292 FASTECH 2011 at 7 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.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Formula 292 FASTECH 2011 caps at 8. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 9 passengers and at 31,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 292 FASTECH 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 8 that costs less to run day-to-day.
