can anyone tell me the difference of Beams of the F31 and the F32? I dont have the specs handy, and was told the difference of these two boats is dramatic

The brochure I have does't comment on an F31, and is probably from late 70's, but your F31 looks a lot like an F30, which has a beam of about 11' or 11'1" (for the Express or Sport).
I also have specs from 1969, and at that point a 31 Express (woodie) had a beam of 11'2".
F32's have a 13' beam. The F32 is known as an "exceptionally beamy boat for it length", as an example Trojan's 36' boats were all 13' beam as well. You have to go up to the 42 or 44 or beyond to find a beamier boat in the line (14'11" for the 44's).

Walk on a F32 sedan it feels almost as big as a F36 , (and cheaper to run) its set up a lot diffrent then yours ( in most cases as they haved a open modle with out a salon ) (the express )

One difference beam on the F32 is 13 feet then tapers in towards the transom the F36 is 13ft all the way to the transom.

I have specs for the F30 at 12' 3"
Not sure about the F31...

If you like the 31, you'll love the 32. Good luck in your search.

The F36 also tapers back at the transome but not as much the wideist point is right near the windsheald. My F30 tappered back a lot .
