Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 244FS 2013 vs Monterey 350 SY 2007: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Monterey 244FS 2013 vs Monterey 350 SY 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Monterey 350 SY 2007 measures 37,0 feet overall (2007), giving it roughly 13,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 244FS 2013 at 24,0 feet (2013). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Monterey 350 SY 2007 tips the scales at 16 500 lbs - 12 200 lbs less than the Monterey 244FS 2013 at 4 300 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 425 hp, the Monterey 350 SY 2007 has a 105-hp advantage over the Monterey 244FS 2013'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 350 SY 2007 carries 230 gallons versus 62 gallons in the Monterey 244FS 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Monterey 244FS 2013 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Monterey 350 SY 2007 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Monterey 350 SY 2007 at 37,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 244FS 2013 at 24,0 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.
