The 310 is on my next boat short-list. I'd value opinions about the boat's motion comfort from any owners sailing the great lakes, where the "chop" often turns into 3-4 foot box-shaped waves.

This applies especially to Boston Harbor, even the outer harbor. The wakes from all those motorboats can ruin an otherwise perfect day.We also do most of our sailing during the week and try to avoid weekends because of PEOPLE.
A good start, but it might be necessary to go one step further and teach marine etiquette. On long stretches of the ICW, it is common practice to radio the boat ahead of you and request a slow pass. The boat in front would slow down and move over and the following boat would speed up a little and pass with little or no wake. On weekends or near urban centers, though, all bets were off. Often, a large power boat would speed by everybody, potentially causing damage and injury with a three foot wake. Yes, the rules of the road say he is responsible for his wake, but I have yet to see one of these bozos held accountable. A little common sense would go a long way to making it as safe as possible out there.I think power boat owners should be MANDATED to get a license-no matter how old or how much expierence and renew it every 5 years. They should be taught./reviewed Rules of the Road, navigation and safety. Just MHO
