I have been looking to purchase a nice 311 for the last two years ... I finally have the cash on hand and am looking forward to pulling the trigger on a boat this spring ... Let me know what you guys (and ladies) see in your various areas of the country .. I would like to stay "fresh water boat" if possible, but I would not rule out a "salty" if the deal is great. I live in Michigan ... currently 6 degrees :+(

Budget???

Obviously, budget is always of concern ... but I would consider around 30K for the right boat ... I don't want a headache ... I want a turn-key boat :+)

A 311 is a great boat for the price range you want to be in. There a some really nice ones in West Michigan, let me check around and will get back to you.

Thanks!!! I have waited 20 years to get this boat ... I can wait another month or two to find the one I want ....

Anyone seen this boat first hand?

Great big water boats..wife loves the ride

Looks nice on the outside ... his description of the cabin is not selling it very well ...

For just a little more you could get into a fiberglass grid boat with the fastech hull design - they started building them that way in the late 1990's. No wood stringers to worry about. They start about $40,000 and go up from there.
