Looking for a racing/ cruising boat for Sw Fl shallow waters. See 1 for sale in miami that states 310 model, 1993, has 4'3" draft? but, the specs I see online state this model has a 4' 10" draft. HUGE difference here. Can some owners let me know if the yacht broker has made an error? How does your boat do in races?? is the cockpit comfortable for 2 couples to daysail? or, it is a racer that just has "leaning" sides an no seating? cannot find a floorplan online.... anyone knw where I can get one? Thanks, Captain Diane in Cape Coral, FL

I had a 1991 310 and it drew 4'3" with a bulb keel. Not sure if there was a deeper draft version. The boat is a racer cruiser and is very comfortable and should do well for weekends and slightly longer trips. Two couples in the cockpit should be fine. I always liked the way she sailed. Since it's a racer cruiser it was set up with adjustable genoa cars and backstay, all from the cockpit. Tweek everything right and she sailed with a balanced helm and a good turn of speed. I don't have a floor plan but can tell you it has a center table salon with fold down leaves. The head is aft to stbd, the galley to port of the companion way steps, an aft cabin to port and a v berth forward. I think you'll like the boat.
