Formula 310 FX5 2013 vs Formula Boats 40 PC 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 310 FX5 2013 vs Formula Boats 40 PC 2007 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.
The Formula Boats 40 PC 2007 tops out at 370 hp. Engine specs for the Formula 310 FX5 2013 aren't listed — confirm with a dealer before selecting an outboard.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Formula Boats 40 PC 2007 carries 25 gallons versus 13 gallons in the Formula 310 FX5 2013. 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 Boats 40 PC 2007 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Formula 310 FX5 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 Boats 40 PC 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula Boats 40 PC 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 12 passengers and at 40,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 310 FX5 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.
