If you pick the 311 you will love it. It's a great riding boat. I would suggest looking for one with the 454 mags or 502 engines. They're no rocket ship to begin with, and with the 330's you may be longing for more power with the heavy boat. You should easily be able to get these motors in a clean 311 in your price range.

There is a 311 in Rochester NY craigslist asking 31900 obo. Says it's a freshwater boat. I would agree with Kevlar 382 that there are nice boats in Western Mi. I purchased his old 311. I owned a 272 before that and also looked at a 292 before going with the 311. The 311 is a better riding boat imo than the 292. Good luck in your search.

Took the family to see a really nice 292 today ... Thanks Kevlar382!! We still want to find a nice 311 to compare the size to!! Keep looking in your local advertisements!! Thanks for all the help!!

It was really nice to meet you and your family Jeff. If that 292 won't work we can find you something that will. Have a safe trip to Fla. Hope you have great weather.

Roody, maybe you can get dba1062 to sell you his 311. Its for sure one of the sharpest and cleanest ones out there.

Are all the 311's still stuck in the snow?

Thanks for all the info everyone .... My search is over!! Yesterday, I purchased a beautiful 292 located in Michigan.

Opened the big bay door wednesday and let the SUNSHINE IN,

As soon as I figure out how to put a pic ... I will!
