Good luck with your search.
I expect the 303 to ride like mine, heavier, as far as the 312 I do not know what to expect, only been in a few stepped hull boats and they were all 35 or bigger

The 312 has a single step where the longer boats have twin or more steps. That single step has some characteristics slightly different from a double, such as the 292, that some talk about. You would feel it and see if that is what you like if you drive one.
Since you have been on a double step you have a good comparison base.

hey 88 how many sea trials have you been on lately? Are engine hours a deciding factor?

None yet, maybe this weekend, and of course hours play into it, but will consider for right price

Nice looking later model 311 for what seems like a good price. Thought the pics were old so condition might be different from when they were taken but reg stickers show 2014 so they can't be too old. Dunno about hours but I am a big fan of those 454Mags especially as a buidling block for 500hp
