Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007 vs Pursuit S 310 Sport 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007 vs Pursuit S 310 Sport 2008 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007 at 34,0 ft versus Pursuit S 310 Sport 2008 at 31,0 ft. Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007 tips the scales at 10 395 lbs — 10 310 lbs more than the Pursuit S 310 Sport 2008 at 85 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 600 hp, the Pursuit S 310 Sport 2008 has a 100-hp advantage over the Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007'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 S 310 Sport 2008 carries 26 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007. 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 LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007 is rated for 10 passengers, while the Pursuit S 310 Sport 2008 caps at 9. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Pursuit LS 345 Drummond Runner 2007 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 10 passengers and at 34,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Pursuit S 310 Sport 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 9 that costs less to run day-to-day.
