    That's the smallest motors you can get in that boat. Will be weak with full tanks and 6 to 8 people.

    I have a 2003 310 with twin 5.0 MPI and Bravo 3's. Had to 40, mechanic to 45 with all canvas up so she'll do better. But rarely run that fast anyway, just cruise around gently most of the time. Very happy with it for what we want.

    I *think* the 312 is what became the 320, which has 5.0 as the standard power plant.  I was worried about the 342 with 5.7s but she does ok.  Like any configuration I think the proper prop pitch will be a big factor.  Surprised it's Bravo 2 and not Bravo 3.

    What came of the 312? Did you make an offer or what happened?

    There is a '05 320 in PA that I have seen listed for $52k. It looks like a great boat, but unfortunately it has the dreaded XDP drives. I am not sure why the owner didn't take advantage of the recall money and have the drives swapped.

    I found a 342
    salty but was in good condition and super cheap
    guy was getting out of boating 
    basically 2003 that markets got 70k was half the price.
    right now is just not the time for me to upgrade
    to many things on my plate
    plus I want to enjoy my new swim platform lol
