Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 204FS 2013 vs Monterey 220 EX 2007 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 204FS 2013 vs Monterey 220 EX 2007 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 320 hp, the Monterey 220 EX 2007 has a 50-hp advantage over the Monterey 204FS 2013's 270-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Monterey 204FS 2013 carries 36 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Monterey 220 EX 2007. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Monterey 204FS 2013 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Monterey 220 EX 2007 wasn't available.
Bottom line: Performance buyers should lean toward the Monterey 220 EX 2007 and its 320-hp ceiling. If fuel economy and quieter running matter more than top-end speed, the Monterey 204FS 2013 with its 270-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
