Monterey 244FS 2013 vs Monterey 360SY 2009 - Boat Spec Comparison

Q: Which is the larger boat — the Monterey 244FS 2013 or the Monterey 360SY 2009?

The Monterey 360SY 2009 is the longer of the two at 37,0 feet overall. The Monterey 244FS 2013 comes in at 24,0 feet, making it roughly 13,0 ft shorter — a meaningful difference in deck room and overall on-water presence.

Q: Which is easier to trailer — the Monterey 244FS 2013 or the Monterey 360SY 2009?

For trailering, the Monterey 244FS 2013 has the edge at 43 lbs dry weight versus 165 lbs for the Monterey 360SY 2009. Add a motor (typically 300–500 lbs for an outboard in this class), gear, and a partial fuel load and the difference grows. Lighter is friendlier on smaller tow vehicles and on fuel economy while hauling.

Q: Which boat can handle a bigger outboard?

The Monterey 360SY 2009 is rated to a maximum of 425 hp, giving it the larger power ceiling. The Monterey 244FS 2013 tops out at 320 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 244FS 2013 carry?

The Monterey 244FS 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.

The Monterey 360SY 2009 measures 138" wide, compared to 102" for the Monterey 244FS 2013. The US standard-width towing limit is 8’6" (102") in most states — anything over that may need a wide-load permit. Confirm your specific route requirements with each state's DOT.

Q: Which boat has the larger fuel tank — the Monterey 244FS 2013 or the Monterey 360SY 2009?

The Monterey 244FS 2013 has the bigger tank at 62 gallons, versus 23 gallons on the Monterey 360SY 2009. That 39-gallon difference translates to roughly 117–195 nautical miles of additional range at cruising speed, depending on motor, load, and conditions.

Q: Are the Monterey 244FS 2013 and Monterey 360SY 2009 from the same manufacturer?

Yes — both the Monterey 244FS 2013 and the Monterey 360SY 2009 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 244FS 2013 vs Monterey 360SY 2009 — Same Brand, Different Boat

Matching a deep vee Monterey 244FS 2013 against a modified vee Monterey 360SY 2009 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 360SY 2009 measures 37,0 feet overall (2009), 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 360SY 2009 tips the scales at 165 lbs — 122 lbs less than the Monterey 244FS 2013 at 43 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 360SY 2009 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 244FS 2013 carries 62 gallons versus 23 gallons in the Monterey 360SY 2009. 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 360SY 2009 wasn't available.

Bottom line: The Monterey 360SY 2009 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.
