Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 310 FX5 BR 2013 vs Formula 370 Super Sport 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Formula 310 FX5 BR 2013 against a modified vee Formula 370 Super Sport 2009 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Formula 370 Super Sport 2009 measures 38,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 310 FX5 BR 2013 at 31,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 310 FX5 BR 2013 tips the scales at 9 875 lbs — 9 724 lbs more than the Formula 370 Super Sport 2009 at 151 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 2009 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 310 FX5 BR 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 2009 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 370 Super Sport 2009 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 11 passengers and at 38,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 310 FX5 BR 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.
