The O’Day 31 serves as a definitive example of the "performance cruiser" ethos that defined the partnership between the O’Day Corporation and the legendary firm of C. Raymond Hunt Associates. Produced between 1979 and 1984, the O’Day 31 was an evolution of the earlier O’Day 30, sharing much of the same hull geometry but introducing a revised deck mold and a more sophisticated interior. By the time of its release, O'Day had transitioned from building simple day boats to constructing serious coastal cruisers capable of handling offshore conditions, provided they were maintained to high standards. The 31 was positioned as a step up for families outgrowing the O’Day 25 and 27, offering a 10' 9" beam and a displacement of approximately 11,000 pounds, which provided the necessary volume for extended cruising without sacrificing the nimble handling associated with the Hunt design pedigree.
