Monterey 220 EX 2007 vs Monterey 224FSC 2013 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Monterey 220 EX 2007 or the Monterey 224FSC 2013?

The Monterey 224FSC 2013 is the longer of the two at 21,0 feet overall. The Monterey 220 EX 2007 comes in at 21,0 feet, making it roughly 0,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?

The Monterey 220 EX 2007 is rated to a maximum of 320 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Monterey 224FSC 2013 tops out at 300 hp. Keep in mind that maximum ratings are just that — matching the motor to the actual load and usage pattern usually matters more than chasing the ceiling.

Q: How many passengers can the Monterey 224FSC 2013 carry?

The Monterey 224FSC 2013 has an official capacity rating of 1 people. Capacity data wasn't available for the other model in this comparison — verify directly with the dealer.

Q: Do these boats require an oversize trailer permit to tow on US highways?

Both the Monterey 220 EX 2007 and Monterey 224FSC 2013 share an 8 ft. 6 in. (2.6 m) beam — meaning both sit right at the 8’6" threshold that most US states use for standard-width loads. In most states you can tow at that width without a special permit, but regulations vary. Always check the rules for your state and any states you'll be passing through before your first long haul.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Monterey 220 EX 2007 or the Monterey 224FSC 2013?

The Monterey 224FSC 2013 has the bigger tank at 55 gallons, versus 5 gallons on the Monterey 220 EX 2007. That 50-gallon difference translates to roughly 150–250 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Monterey 220 EX 2007 and Monterey 224FSC 2013 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Monterey 220 EX 2007 and the Monterey 224FSC 2013 are built by Monterey. That means shared dealer networks, common parts availability, and consistent build quality across the line. The choice between them is essentially a question of how much boat you need, not which brand you trust.

Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation

Monterey 220 EX 2007 vs Monterey 224FSC 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat

The Monterey 220 EX 2007 vs Monterey 224FSC 2013 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.

Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Monterey 220 EX 2007 and 300 hp for the Monterey 224FSC 2013. Real-world performance will come down more to which motor is actually bolted on, its load at the time, and whether it's a 4-stroke or 2-stroke setup. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Monterey 224FSC 2013 carries 55 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.

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 224FSC 2013 with its 300-hp rating is the more economical daily driver.
