The Pursuit C 310 2007 vs Pursuit SC 365i 2013 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 Pursuit SC 365i 2013 measures 41,2 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 10,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Pursuit C 310 2007 at 31,0 feet (2007). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 tips the scales at 1 775 lbs — 1 686 lbs less than the Pursuit C 310 2007 at 89 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 700 hp, the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 has a 100-hp advantage over the Pursuit C 310 2007's 600-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Pursuit C 310 2007 carries 26 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Pursuit SC 365i 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 Pursuit SC 365i 2013 is rated for 12 passengers, while the Pursuit C 310 2007 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 could be the deciding factor.
