Both the Pursuit C 310 2010 and the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 are deep-V designs, both built in fibreglass, so 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?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Pursuit SC 365i 2013 measures 41,2 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 10,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Pursuit C 310 2010 at 31,2 feet (2010). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pursuit SC 365i 2013 tips the scales at 17 750 lbs - 9 150 lbs less than the Pursuit C 310 2010 at 8 600 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 200-hp advantage over the Pursuit C 310 2010's 500-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 SC 365i 2013 carries 300 gallons versus 260 gallons in the Pursuit C 310 2010. 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 2010 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.
