The PowerBoat Guide had this to say:
The Cabo 31 is a premium offshore express whose precise handling, exceptional range, and superb engineering set her apart from just about everything boat in her class in the mid 1990s. Heavily built on a modified-V, a wide 12'5" beam gives the Cabo 31 the cockpit and interior space of many larger boats. Standard features include an integral bow pulpit, bait-prep center with sink, transom livewell, in-deck fish box, cockpit rod storage, fresh/raw- water washdowns, 5 kW generator, gunnel rod holders, transom door with gate, power windshield vent, cockpit bolsters, cockpit rod storage, trim tabs, and cockpit lights. The entire helm deck lifts hydraulically for engine access. Below, the Cabo’s well-appointed interior sleeps four and includes teak cabinets, teak-and-holly flooring, full-service galley with Corian counter, standup head/ shower, and convertible dinette forward. The attention to detail found throughout is exceptional. Note that the hull chines retooled in 2002 for a drier ride. No lightweight, Cat 350hp diesels cruise the Cabo 31 in the high 20s.
