Brother has one. done mostly sail dog fishing of PB, one 90 mile ride to the northern canyon, and in some bad weather as well. Boat handles terrific, easy fish with 2 guys, easy on the fuel with the twin Yami's. only a slight electrical issue which was resolved. $$$$$ worth looking at comparitive CC's Got to be honest, I like my 45 hatteras doing 28 kts better.

Rode a 31 FS last year sailfishing in Florida. Superb boats with great handling, a great ride. easy to clean and maintain, and fast. My buddies has twin 250 suzukis which pushed us in the mid to upper 50's I'd guess trimmed up. Definitely worth purchasing one.

I run a 05 31.

I run a 31 with 225 4 stroke yam's. It is under powered when running full load to the bahamas. With that being said, we fish it out of ft lauderdale and it is a super boat for sailfishing. Runs with all in it's class. The only thing I dislike is the discharge in the aft deck. Pump doesn't get all the water out. Is it worth the $$$. YES. I would also look at the 32 seavee. That boat is totally reworked. I do know of a cream buff 31 forsale. www.godeepfishing.com.
