Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Monterey 250CR 2010 vs Monterey 320SY 2013 — Same Brand, Different Boat
Matching a modified vee Monterey 250CR 2010 against a deep vee Monterey 320SY 2013 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 320SY 2013 measures 33,8 feet overall (2013), giving it roughly 6,8 additional feet of deck space compared to the Monterey 250CR 2010 at 27,0 feet (2010). At 61 lbs and 132 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 250CR 2010 and 320 hp for the Monterey 320SY 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 250CR 2010 carries 77 gallons versus 18 gallons in the Monterey 320SY 2013. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
The Monterey 250CR 2010 is rated for up to 1 people. Passenger data for the Monterey 320SY 2013 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Monterey 320SY 2013 at 33,8 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Monterey 250CR 2010 at 27,0 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.
