When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 2007 and the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 RE 2010 are pontoon designs with aluminum construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Premier Boats Intrigue 310 2007 at 31,0 ft versus Premier Boats Intrigue 310 RE 2010 at 31,3 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 RE 2010 tips the scales at 395 lbs — 363 lbs less than the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 2007 at 32 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.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 250 hp, the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 2007 has a 100-hp advantage over the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 RE 2010's 150-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Both carry nearly identical fuel loads — 3 gal and 3 gal — so range won't be a tiebreaker here.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Premier Boats Intrigue 310 2007 is rated for 23 passengers, while the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 RE 2010 caps at 21. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Premier Boats Intrigue 310 2007 could be the deciding factor.
