Monterey 214SS 2013 vs Monterey 318SC 2010 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Monterey 214SS 2013 against a modified vee Monterey 318SC 2010 means you're likely deciding between two genuinely different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Monterey 318SC 2010 measures 31,8 feet overall (2010), giving it roughly 10,2 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 214SS 2013 at 21,7 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Monterey 214SS 2013 tips the scales at 365 lbs — 280 lbs more than the Monterey 318SC 2010 at 85 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 320 hp, the Monterey 318SC 2010 has a 50-hp advantage over the Monterey 214SS 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 318SC 2010 carries 142 gallons versus 36 gallons in the Monterey 214SS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Monterey 214SS 2013 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Monterey 318SC 2010 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Monterey 318SC 2010 at 31,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 214SS 2013 at 21,7 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking — a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
