Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 vs Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 vs Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 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 34 Cruiser 2010 measures 34,3 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 3,3 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 at 31,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 tips the scales at 1 691 lbs — 716 lbs less than the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 at 975 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 34 Cruiser 2010 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 could be the deciding factor.

Bottom line: Choose the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,3 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.

Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 vs Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 — Common Questions

Which is the larger boat — the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 or the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010?
The Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 is the longer of the two at 34,3 feet overall. The Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 comes in at 31,0 feet, making it roughly 3,3 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.
Which is easier to trailer — the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 or the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010?
For trailering, the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 has the edge at 975 lbs dry weight versus 1 691 lbs for the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.
How many people can each boat hold?
The Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 is Coast Guard rated for 9 passengers, while the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 is certified for 10. Note that legal capacity and comfortable capacity aren't always the same thing — on a full day out, most experienced boaters aim for about 80% of the rated number to keep things comfortable.
Which boat is wider, and does it affect trailering?
The Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 measures 138" wide, compared to 114" for the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.
Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 or the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010?
The Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 has the bigger tank at 206 gallons, versus 13 gallons on the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007. That 193-gallon difference translates to roughly 579–965 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.
Are the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 and Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 from the same manufacturer?
Yes — both the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2007 and the Formula 34 Cruiser 2010 are built by Formula. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.
