When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Walker Bay 310 FTL 2011 and the Walker Bay Genesis Light RIB 2013 are foldable designs with inflatable 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?
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 8 hp for the Walker Bay 310 FTL 2011 and 10 hp for the Walker Bay Genesis Light RIB 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup.
The Walker Bay 310 FTL 2011 is rated for up to 3 people. Passenger data for the Walker Bay Genesis Light RIB 2013 wasn't available.
The Walker Bay Genesis Light RIB 2013 has a documented top speed of 19 mph. Speed data wasn't available for the other model.
Bottom line: The Walker Bay 310 FTL 2011 and Walker Bay Genesis Light RIB 2013 are closely matched on the specs that matter most. Test-ride both on the water you actually use, check current dealer pricing, and factor in long-term service access before you sign.
