I hate winter in NY! We boat almost every weekend in the summer on the South shore of Long Island. I purchased my 31 in 2018. The boat had five hours on the generator and 60 hours on the engines. I also own a 20' Scout and a 17' Boston Whaler Montauk. I am constantly amazed how well the 31 handles. It is fast (we cruise at 30MPH, 3800 RPM, burning an average of 11 gallons of gas an hour (each motor).
