DeepVee 310

The DeepVee 310 is a near perfect combination of performance and comfort.

The cockpit is very large with plenty of room for the Relax 80lb game chair and crew to handle a big game fish with ease. Underfloor storage bins and live bait well make for an unobstructed cockpit floor.

Teak covering boards, padded cockpit coamings, transom tuna door, marlin board, rod holders and rocket launcher are all in place for the serious fisherman. Bite Me also has a teak cockpit deck, teak saloon floor and Relax outriggers.

Internally, the DeepVee 310 is extremely comfortable. The large double V-berth will sleep 2 in comfort with the 4 seater dinette also converting to a berth for 1 or 2. The galley is large with stove, sink, storage and plenty of bench space. Amidships is a large bathroom with toilet and shower.

At sea, the DV310 twin diesels give brilliant performance. The boat is nimble and will respond almost instantly when manoeuvring in a marina or on a fish.

Bite Me has a top speed of approximately 25 knots fully loaded and will cruise all day at 20 knots.
