I was dead set on a 382 with 525's till I drove it. Now I'm convinced that 525's are not what I want in a 382. It really surprised me but I was glad I didn't purchase on my excitement and rather drove one first.

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

aquaforce 05-05-2012 10:33 PM

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

cuposterchild 05-09-2012 09:25 AM

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

NICE! Like the 303's. Smaller cockpit though. Remember there is the one that is unlisted up in Northern NY too.

...and one in Ohio :whistle:

Getting the itch for more boat pretty bad right now. Could make someone a good deal. (less than either one in the classifieds)

But hey, I don't mind being stuck with it either :daz:

I dunno why he isn't on his way right now! I am sporting a pink dress shirt at work today so I definately man enough to sport it in a boat! :D

1995 303 Blue and Teal mostly...and unfortunately a little pink but not a main color. On eagle trailer had around 400-500 hours on 454mpi's. Hydraulic steering (nice add-on). Exterior was in great shape motors and bilge were very clean. Overall cabin was in great shape. Sunpad and couple side panels could use some attention from where the bimini top looked to have bounced around. Full covers. Was working with RaggedEdge when the boat sold to a realtor up in Massena that I believe still has the boat and was looking to sell last year and the year before. Was priced right back in the day not sure about now and if he still has it. I ended up buying waterfront property and a smaller boat to bomb around it for a few years and never went back after it. Now thinking 35 Fountain is going to be the next boat to fit the bill unless the right deal on something else comes around before then.

sounds like something that id be interested in for sure

befu 05-10-2012 04:57 PM

Man, seeing these adds I am tempted to pick up another one before even completing my 272! I should have waited, should have waited.... Story of my life. Get out of Enron too late and into british beef futures too early..... LOL.

Would love an older 302, mid 311 or newer 303.

88242LS 05-13-2012 06:14 PM

Just got home from PA, loved the boat, not the hours for the price, definitely feel the 303 is just right for us after looking at it, now just gotta find the right one

If the weather cooperates I'll pull it out of the shop and take some pics for you tonight. :)

88242LS 05-17-2012 07:58 PM

what was up with the 311 in grand ledge anyway been eyeing it

dba1062 05-17-2012 10:08 PM

South of Rochester. The boat in Grand Ledge is very nice. Didn't see any problems with it. The guy was good to talk to. Did some nice things to it. It does have the white rub rail with stainless inset. Give the guy a call. I see he dropped the price to 31900. Wanted 33900 when I looked and that was three weeks ago.
