Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 220EX 2009 vs Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 220EX 2009 vs Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017 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 350 hp, the Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017 has a 30-hp advantage over the Monterey 220EX 2009's 320-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 355 Sport Yacht 2017 carries 21 gallons versus 5 gallons in the Monterey 220EX 2009. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
Bottom line: The Monterey 355 Sport Yacht 2017 at 35,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 220EX 2009 at 21,0 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.
