Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Formula 310 Sun Sport 2010 vs Formula 382 FASTech 2006 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Formula 310 Sun Sport 2010 vs Formula 382 FASTech 2006 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 382 FASTech 2006 measures 38,0 feet overall (2006), giving it roughly 7,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2010 at 31,0 feet (2010). At 975 lbs and 1 045 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Formula 382 FASTech 2006 is rated for 11 passengers, while the Formula 310 Sun Sport 2010 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Formula 382 FASTech 2006 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Formula 382 FASTech 2006 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 Sun Sport 2010 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
