Formula 310 Bowrider 2008 vs Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 310 Bowrider 2008 vs Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Engine specs for the Formula 310 Bowrider 2008 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003 carries 113 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Formula 310 Bowrider 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Formula 310 Bowrider 2008 is rated for 9 passengers, while the Formula Boats 292 FASTech 2003 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 2008 could be the deciding factor.
