When two boats share the same hull type — in this case both the Boston Whaler 320 Outrage 2009 and the Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 are deep vee designs with fiberglass construction — the buying decision usually comes down to a handful of practical questions: how many people are you putting on the water, how far do you trailer, and what does your tow vehicle weigh?

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 measures 37,0 feet overall (2009), giving it roughly 5,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Boston Whaler 320 Outrage 2009 at 32,0 feet (2009). At 85 lbs and 135 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 900 hp, the Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 has a 300-hp advantage over the Boston Whaler 320 Outrage 2009's 600-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Boston Whaler 370 Outrage 2009 carries 45 gallons versus 3 gallons in the Boston Whaler 320 Outrage 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

Both boats are rated for 14 passengers — a good fit for a family of four or five plus guests. Comfort at capacity is another matter; the longer hull typically means more seat options and better weight distribution.
