Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 244FSX 2013 vs Monterey 330 SY 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a deep vee Monterey 244FSX 2013 against a modified vee Monterey 330 SY 2008 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 330 SY 2008 measures 35,0 feet overall (2008), giving it roughly 11,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 244FSX 2013 at 24,0 feet (2013). At 43 lbs and 142 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
Both boats share a closely matched power ceiling — 320 hp for the Monterey 244FSX 2013 and 320 hp for the Monterey 330 SY 2008. 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 244FSX 2013 carries 62 gallons versus 21 gallons in the Monterey 330 SY 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Monterey 244FSX 2013 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Monterey 330 SY 2008 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Monterey 330 SY 2008 at 35,0 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 244FSX 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.
