Its a F31 it was just like a f30 but bigger same lay out just more room . You don't see a lot of them as it fell in a odd place between the F30 and the F32 and I bet the price was close close to the F32 and looked like a F30 . The sea raider had a wood cabin as the F31 had a glass cabin .
this to the best I can remeber don't take it as fact But I beleve I am correct.

It's an F-31. They were made from 70 to 73. More room than an F-30. I have a 73 F-31.

it is a f-31 made in the early to mid-70's . mine was built dec 72 but the engines and hull were listed as a 73 . they are hard to find compared to a f-30 or f-32. the hard-top express f-31 even more so. loa is more like 33' . it always is admired for it's classic lines. dean

They call it a Express cruser if it had a Open lower Helm ( not fully enclosed) I have sales info w/photos from the late 70s (i think) and all the express crusers had the lower helm like yours so I asume thats it .

Looks the same as my boat, a 1973 Sea Raider which is an Express Cruiser that came with an optional factory installed fly bridge. If it is all teak decks then I'm pretty sure it's a Sea Raider because I don't think the F31's came with teak decks .... Is it powered by twinn 225 Mercs with Velvet Drives?
