Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 vs Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 vs Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 measures 37,0 feet overall (2005), giving it roughly 6,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 at 31,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 tips the scales at 9 875 lbs — 9 731 lbs more than the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 at 144 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 370 Super Sport 2005 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 370 Super Sport 2005 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 37,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 310 Bowrider 2013 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
