All,

I was considering a 310 Signature and noticed that a lot of them only have a 5.0 engines, and wondering if that is a bit underpowered for a 31 ft (12000 lb) boat. Comments.

Then I started looking at the 290, which actually looks pretty nice, and would be a lot peppier with the same 5.0 engines that a lot of them have.

Any comments about what Im giving up in the 310 other that just a bit more room.

Another thing.... I see that the deadrise is only 18 in both boats (I think). How would they ride in chop compared to the Sundancer which is the other boat I'm looking at.

Larry what years are you looking at? The older 290's have been renamed 310's. 5.0's on the 290 are great no concerns about power.
