As far as I know there are not any inherent problems with these boats. I would recommend looking it over carefully however and if you want to do the deal to get a survey done. Even though they are great boats, a bad owner could have made it a not so great boat.

It should be 2 90gallon tanks. As far as the stress crack by the cabin door that shouldn't be a big deal. They are great riding boats with lots of creature comforts/features that make boating more fun and easier.

I beleive the fuel capacity is (2) 70 gallon tanks. In regards to the surface cracks in the gel... Not to worry... If it was structural...walk.

My '97 has 2 70 gallon tanks. I think almost all the 31's have some small surface cracks in them.

The ride will depend on the props. I had a set of props labbed and it did not ride as well as it did with the stock Mercury bravo's.( labbed for speed) I did own a 31, they are great riding boats. As far as size in the cabin it would be night and day compared to a 31 Formula the Sonic is big down stairs. Mine had 500EFI's It would run over 80 on any day 83 was the best.
